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.

Cant wait for the next volume!
Perfect gift for my video game loving brother!
Got this for a coworker who keeps talking about supot and this is it. It's her favorite work tote and I'm all here for it. I even got one for myself but in black.
If you say it wrong it means something else, but let's not go there...
The book arrived on time and without any problems. The book came with the original plastic wrapping and was extra wrapped with bubble wrap for protection during shipping. I got frequent email updates about my order which was helpful. The book itself is wonderful and I’m glad I ordered it through Hot Tropiks and supported a small business.
Galing na! I’ve been such a big fan following Ninong Ry on tiktok and I’m so excited to start making his recipes. The book is so beautifully laid out, funny, and easy to follow. Being a 1st gen Filipino-American, there are a lot of things that get lost from one generation to another (especially in cooking) and I feel Ninong Ry helps to fill those gaps. Thanks for the opportunity to get one of his books stateside!
These folks are the best. Support them.
The flash cards are excellent quality; colorful and easy to read, use, and handle. I was surprised at how quickly the order arrived at my doorstep. Great service and great product. Looking forward to ordering more from Hot Tropiks!
Its a good story but its a lot shorter then I anticipated it would be.
Love the art style and story, can’t wait for more!
Such beautiful work.
