Last year's December I bought a comic book titled "Pugad Baboy" it's the 18th book released by the name itself and for the first time nagbasa ako. I do not really had the time that I am reading I think the last time that I read a book is when i was in High School?? yeah that's right I think my Filipino teacher told me to read El Filibusterismo that time. I remember having read some chapters of Noli me tangere and some of El Filibusterismo. (especial mention DIKONG IGE)hahaha I had just love the name since then, so funny.
After I bought the book (Pugad Baboy 18) I did not have the interest to read the whole book from the page 1 to the last. I think I am like many others in this respect. for though I haven't completed reading the books, I must have heard some bits and pieces of them from other people's version of what they've read or heard.
But one day I am luckily do not have an option on what should I do, that time the programs on TV was sucks and it's not my time to go on my computer, and in a seconds I see the book on top of our TV so I decided to pick it (and I whispered to my self) "Ok I will read this one". after that I found that reading this book is not corny! It's full of appreciation and since that time I had not stop reading strips from strips and every time I will go on SM I always go inside the National Bookstore hahaha
I like the good-natured camaraderie among the residents — the Punch and Judy antics of Tomas and Barbie, the running banter between Mang Dagul and Brosia (regarding his baldness and her intellect); Brenda’ s love for shopping; the kids wisecracking in class with Ms. Nobatos; Bab wooing Tiny; Ka Noli and Tomas’ friendship; and the regular drinking sessions — and how they all pull together when the situation calls for it.
My peeves: the lack of white space — the comics are too crammed and it gets hard to read after a while; and the paper — because the comics are pen and ink, you can see through on either side.
(M/Sgt. Tomas Sabaybunot) my Favorite Character off all his strips make me laugh specially the "Col. Manyakis" Strips (from Pugad Baboy 8) one of his content in the books
Pugad Baboy (roughly translated: Swine’s Nest) by Pol Medina, Jr., is one of the Philippines’ most famous and longest-running comic strip on a daily broadsheet (Philippine Daily Inquirer).
As described in the foreword of one of the books, the comic series is about “a community of fatsos and a dog named Polgas.”
Written in colloquial Filipino, the series features the neighborhood and the interactions of its residents, everyday domestic situations, political issues, and current events.
