A legendary Filipino cultural studies classic that is notoriously hard to find in the United States, History of the Burgis delivers a sharp, self-aware reading of 500 years of Philippine history through the lens of class, power, and identity. First published in 1987, it asks a question that still resonates today: what role has the Filipino burgis played in the country’s struggles, successes, and unfinished nation-building?
Written by burgis for the burgis, the book breaks away from the traditional history format by combining a clear historical narrative with biting commentary, humor, and visual storytelling that pushes readers to locate themselves within the national story. Both critical and deeply reflective, it remains a cornerstone text for Philippine studies, cultural criticism, and diaspora readers building a serious Filipino history shelf.
A scarce title outside the Philippines and rarely stocked by U.S. retailers.

I love the quality of the graphics and the material for the t-shirt! You know it's not going to rip or fade!! My request is to bring back the Hard Mode T-Shirt! Missed the opportunity to get one!!! Thank you!
Above and beyond all expectations. Read it all in one sitting and couldn't put it down. Highly recommend! Plus there's a very fun bonus at the back of the book.
Thanks for bringing this product design to the US :)
A+++ customer service!
I super love the story!
My second time purchasing. Its a great book.
I absolutely loved the story of the first generation child of an immigrant family. It was rather enlightening as the author truly shows how immigrants are an integral part in society. Always have. Always will be.
Perfect gift for my chef nephew! So much cool stuff in general in the shop. Fast easy shipping too.
Excellent quality and very fast delivery.
Hot Tropics provides the best customer service.
Thanks Mr. Ocampo for this amazing survey, I read it almost all in one sitting--spooky, interesting, scary, and thought-provoking. A great read!
Very good story pero a bit short. Could have benefited from a bit more backstory on the husband's motivations as well as following some of his actions.
Great customer service.
