I can't stop raving about Salamangka 1! Ian Sta. Maria has create an epic universe that blends Filipino mythology with breathtaking fantasy elements. The artwork is so good – every page is a visual feast. The stories are gripping and full of unexpected twists. My only tiny gripe is that I wish there were more volumes ready to devour. If you're into fantasy or just love great storytelling, do yourself a favor and grab this book. You won't regret it!

Our baby is about to start solids and this is the perfect board book to introduce Tagalog adjectives for flavor to her! The illustrations are so cute!
It’s a short book but the story has you wanting to keep reading. The characters are well written and the story is easy to follow. Can’t wait for more to come out.
We love this bag! The fabric is sturdy, the design is clean, and it can hold more than 15 picture books!
Fantastic book! A must read. If you love comics and Filipino literature, this belongs in your bookshelf.
The first two and the very last story didn't really do anything for me, but I liked everything else. My favorites were Cosplaya' Hata' and Present. One is about a cosplayer who runs into his former bully, and the other is about two coworkers talking and reminiscing while outside a Christmas party. It's really great to see these moments in the characters' lives, and to see what the creators were able to accomplish within so few pages.
