Step into a world where morality meets masterpiece. Dakilang Asal (1907) is more than just a book; it is a cultural bridge spanning over a century of Filipino heritage. Originally penned by the legendary revolutionary and playwright Aurelio Tolentino, this collection of didactic poems serves as a timeless compass for character formation, etiquette, and the enduring Filipino spirit.

For the first time, this rare gem has been meticulously transcribed and translated into English, making Tolentino’s profound wisdom accessible to a modern generation. Whether you are a student of philosophy, a parent guiding the youth, or a lover of classic literature, these verses on honesty, respect, and integrity remain as sharp and relevant today as they were in the early 1900s.

Why This Poetry Book is Essential:

1. A Dual Masterpiece: This edition doubles as a sophisticated Art Study, featuring the rare and exquisite works of Jose Honorato Lozano. Witness the vibrant “Tipos del Pais” and the intricate details of 19th-century Filipino life through the eyes of a master.

2. Go deeper with a Reflection and Discussion Guide, designed to provoke thought and inspire dialogue in your class or at the dinner table.

3. Translator’s Insight: Includes a dedicated note from the translator, providing vital historical context and the nuances of bringing Tolentino’s Tagalog prose to modern Filipino into the English language.

4. Traditional Virtues for the Modern Age: Rediscover the “Dakilang Asal” (Great Conduct) that defines the Filipino identity—cleanliness, humility, and the pursuit of honor.

Rediscover your roots. Refine your character. Own a piece of Philippine history.

An oriole sings to a dying father. A bleeding-heart dove saves the day. A crow wakes a woman’s resolve. Owls help a boy endure isolation. Cockatoos attend the laying of the dead. Always there are birds in these linked stories that pay homage to kindness and the kinship among women and the planet. From Australia to the Philippines, across cultures and species, kindness inspires resilience amidst loss and grief. Being together ignites resistance against violence. We pull through in the company of others.

Kindness cannot self-isolate
It moves both ways and all ways,
like breath.

Four generations of women named after trees refuse to be cut down: Banaba, Narra, Pili and Dao.

‘ In the name of the trees, I retrieve you from hurt and sickness.’ In a Philippine ritual of retrieval, Lola Narra tries to heal her granddaughter Dao who was paralysed in an accident that killed her father.

They live in Canberra, far from the healing trees of their first home in the village of Ilawod where the story began. But between the Philippines and Australia, the land knows, the trees know, as do these hardwood women: their colonial inheritance is wound on wound on wound-lúgad sa lúgad sa lúgad.

They tell stories to hide, evade, or make truth bearable. But trees remember. They do not lie. And knowing is resistance.
