MANILA, Philippines - An early Tagalog word for foreboding and memory is the title of a book that brings together new work from Filipino writers across diverse disciplines, focused on the confrontation between climate change and cultures across the archipelago. Published by the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities, the book had a series of launches in Quezon City, Berkeley and New York. Photos are by Jose Enrique Soriano. Dr. Leoncio Amadore, considered the godfather of Philippine climate science, said: ‘The work is nothing short of compelling, moving and provocative – a body of work the scientific community urgently needs.’
