Soon, 7 NBS in Luzon, 2 in Cebu, 1 in Bacolod, 1 in Davao will have it

Hi guys,

 

National Book Store gave me the following updates.

First, the following NBS outlets in Metro Manila now have the Student Edition of our book. (Unless these are already sold out.) :

Quezon Ave
SM North Edsa
Ayala Fairview
NBS SM City Fairview
UP Town Center
Cash & Carry
NBS Glorietta
Rockwell

Powerbooks, SM Megamall

Shangri-la mall

NBS Alabang Town Center

In Luzon outside Manila, the following NBS outlets will also have the book:

NBS SM City Marilao
SM Cabanatuan
Dagupan
NBS SM City Clark
NBS SM City Calamba
SM San Pablo
Paseo de Sta Rosa
NBS SM City Santa Rosa

And as I write this, ships carrying copies of our book have set sail for Cebu, Bacolod and Davao (which will take 10 days at most). Initially, the following outlets will have the book:

Ayala Cebu
Mango Cebu
SM Bacolod
NBS Gaisano Mall of Davao

I will keep you posted on which other outlets will have the books next.

To those asking what the difference is between the Student Edition and the Collectors Edition, there is no difference in the content and size. Everything that is in the Collectors Edition is in the Student Edition. Both are heavily illustrated and well-designed by one of the foremost book designers, Felix Mago Miguel.

The main difference is that the Collectors Edition is a limited run, printed on glossy paper and you get to fully appreciate here the colored and black and white photographs. In short, it is a beautiful book on a horrific subject. By the way, each book weighs 2.1 kilos. Each is priced at P2,500.

Since National Book Store is not yet carrying the Collectors Edition, this can only be ordered online and delivered anywhere in the Philippines reached by courier service. Or you can get your copy from La Solidaridad (Padre Faura, Manila) or Popular Book Store (along Morato St., QC).

Below is the procedure for ordering:

For the Collectors Edition, delivery is free anywhere in the Philippines reached by courier service:

1. Pls. deposit to the account of the publisher:

Filipinos For A Better Philippines, Inc.
BDO PESO Savings Account No. 690-010-3803

2. Then take a photo of your deposit slip and send as an attachment to these two e-mails:

[email protected]
[email protected]

3. In the e-mail with the attachment, please indicate

  • in which bank branch the deposit was made – this is very important so the publisher can easily match your deposit with the bank statement;
  • to whom the book should be sent;
  • the address where the book will be sent;
  • and please give a landline or mobile number in case the publisher needs to follow-up on anything

4. the publisher will confirm receiving your payment and will e-mail you as soon as it sends you the book by courier.

5.  if you haven’t received the book by the fifth day, pls e-mail back.

6. As an added bonus, if you want me to dedicate the book, please indicate to whom the book should be dedicated.

  1. I am a balikbayan and today I went to National Bookstore SM Bacoor just buy your NEVER AGAIN BOOK, and it so disappointing that they said “its out of stock”

    • Up to when are you here?

      I have to see which branch still has the Student Edition.

      But if you want the Collectors Edition, the publisher can deliver to you asap. It costs P2,500 but it’s gorgeously painful.

  2. Hi Raissa, i am still waiting for the arrival of the 2 free copies of the book Marcos Martial Law: Never Again! Natatrapik kaya?

    • Sabi ng publisher ko may mga hindi nagbigay ng address nila o hindi mabasa yung handwriting nila. Pls email your name (yung nilagay sa papel),address to [email protected]

      Thanks

  3. Hello Ma’am Raissa, I already bought your book from Solidaridad yesterday. Nakita ko kaagad na may copy pa sila ng book mo kasi naka-display siya sa harap. Malaki pala siya at medyo mabigat pero okay lang, alam ko namang worth it siyang basahin. Anyways, pagkatapos ko meron pang isang babaeng naghanap ng libro mo. Mukhang maraming gustong makabasa ng book mo Ma’am. I also would like to have a digital copy of your book para kahit sa cellphone or tablet mabasa ko siya. Kung pwede Ma’am Raissa, i-suggest nyo po sa publisher na maibenta siya sa Amazon or Google Play books.

  4. Following up my order the collectors edition book Marcos Martial Law: Never Again, send my deposit Slip last June 2 please confirm thank you!

  5. tutal halos lahat ng cpmer’s iniinsulto ni Victin Luz, why don’t we do to him what we did to MRP noon, flush him in the toilet! Help Raissa, Allan! if we don’t do something soon enough, magiging katulad naang blog dito sa blog ni Mocha Uson.kagaya na sa mga comment ng mga duterte na nababasa natin sa fb. gusto ba natin iyon?

    • FOI is not absolute even for CPMERs journalist , especially when you are corrupt.You have to balance your comments and not a one sided one. INSULTO pala ang napagsasabihan ng totoo na ginagawa ninyo. HE HE ….look those collaterally damagd by our comments that even if it is true, you dont have to maligned them for long period of time. If you insist in doing these then you DESERVED to be EXECUTED too, PELANG he he…GO ON ask Raissa to BAN ME .What the HECK , when most of the big time CPMERs here were BIAS all along he he… NASASAKTAN kayo dahil NATALO kayo..at hindi ninyo matanggaptanggap ang mga nagngyari at si PNOY pala ay maraming kapalpakan na gnawa o nagaw sa ating BANSA….

      • Victim…….Pppfffffffffff

        Grace Poe’s American home was in a CIA community. Herndon ( Virginia ) is the home of CIA. Grace Poe’s house was next to the CIA headquarters, the CIA University and the CIA Foundation. The largest CIA contractors are based in Herndon. The Philippine presidential candidate and the CIA Director were neighbours.

        In 1998, Grace Poe was a preschool teacher and her husband was a student. A year later, they bought the million dollar house in Herndon. Where did the money come from? Not from her parents, Grace Poe has repeatedly said.

        Therefore there must have been another provider of money: a sponsor willing to offer a luxury life to the daughter of a Philippine movie star with political ambitions; a sponsor interested in preparing a presidential candidate for the Philippines; a sponsor with unlimited funds, one who meddles with the Philippines internal affairs.

        CIA headquarters is in Langley, but, in the last 20 years, Herndon, about 20 kilometres to the west, has become the real home of the CIA.

        One of the newest and largest CIA buildings is in Herndon. It is a 1million-square-foot facility with cast-in-place concrete walls and bullet and blast-proof windows. It is located on Grove Street, 15 minutes’ drive from Grace Poe’s home on Winter Oaks Way street, Herndon.

        CIA University (CIAU) was established in 2002, soon after the 9/11 attacks and is located in Chantilly. Herndon and Chantilly are neighbouring towns in Northern Virginia. Although it does not issue degrees, CIAU is the primary education facility of the CIA. CIA University is 10 minutes’ drive from Grace Poe’s home in Herndon.

        Also as a response to the 9/11 attacks, the CIA Officers Memorial Foundation was created in December 2001. The Foundation is a non-profit/tax-exempt organization with $13.6 million in total assets and a total revenue of 3.9 million in 2013. CIA Foundation is located in Herndon. The address is 2251 Corporate Park Dr, Herndon, 15 minutes’ drive from Grace Poe’s home.

        Herndon is not only the location of many CIA facilities, but also a bedroom community for the U.S. residing CIA agents.

        The Director of the Central Intelligence Agency himself, John O. Brennan, live in Herndon. In fact, the current Philippine Presidential candidate was CIA Director’s neighbour in Oak Hill, one of the wealthiest and most exclusive communities in the US. Brennan’s home is located in 13351 Point Rider Ln, 5 minutes’ drive from Grace Poe’s.

        Many of the CIA current and retired agents reside in Herndon. Even Ralph Mcgee, one of CIA’s top agents in the Philippines in the 50s, lives in Herndon not far from Grace Poe’s house.

        Herndon and its surroundings are also home to the largest CIA contractors: Booz Allen Hamilton, CACI International, Scitor and, of course, SAIC – the largest private intelligence service in the world and Neil Llamazares’ employer. In 2013, Amazon Web Services won a $600 million contract to build a “private cloud” for the CIA. Amazon announced that is looking for engineers who already have a “Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information” clearance, or are willing to get it, which includes a U.S. government administered polygraph examination. The location of the Amazon’s jobs was specified: where else? – Herndon, Virginia.

        :-)

        • Nice one sup. I used to live in Herndon and I’m familiar with all those buildings that you mentioned particulary the Booz Allen Hamilton, SAIC and few other top secret buildings there like EDS. Amazon is very close to where I live.

        • HA HA limabas ang natural ninyo mga ” UNGGOK ” he he hindi ninyo talaga matanggap na LAMPASO si ROXAS ninyo….wait and wait KULUNG din si PNOY ninyo at ang pinakamasakit sa lahat …HINDI KAYO KAKAMPIHAN ni LENI dahil HINDI sya UTOUTO na akala ninyo…Who cares about POE now….he he… Basta EXECUTED kayo mga corrupt na journalist …he he pag CORRUPT pag hindi HONEST….hero or heroine…ang nagpapabayad na ang malamang iyong nga napipikon dito ay CPMERs na CORRUPT …hala lagot kayo baka DRUG ADDICT pa kayo he he DOUBLE EXECUTION kayo po…ingat lang…@Pelang …@SUP TSUP TSUPa….ingat ka din po

        • @Victin: What is “unggok” and who are you referring to? Anyway, enough of Roxas & Poe. It’s done. The reality is Digong as the new president and it’s his turn to be scrutinized. That’s life. People will forget about PNoy like Erap & GMA. People will train their guns whoever is the president. Not to Poe. Not to Binay or Mar. Si Duterte na ang uulamin mula almusal hanggang hapunan.

        • @vhin AB…..Yes and why not, let us train our guns on Duterte but we will do so when He will assume His office but until then , let us exposed first the wrong doings of PNOY and ROXAS before so that Filipinos who suffer ( Group C , D and E of the populace ) can also attain justice…

          Ex.) 1. The death of SAF on that MAPAPASANO incident. 2.) PNOYs lossing the Scarborough Shoal deliberately 3) Pnoy ‘s usage of the unconstitutional parts of the DAP 3.) The unconstitutional/illegal partition of PNOYs Hacienda Luisita 4.) PNOYs underspending of our National budget does depriving the class C , D and E of Filipino people , who could have alleviate their live’s had it been used/spended instead bulked of our budget were utilized last election only to propelled the chances of Roxas to win..PNOY, ABAD and ROXAS must answer all , because for us POOR FILIPINOs , all of these are PLUNDERS ..It might not gone to their pocket directly but was the main causes why FILIPINOs are still POOR today…

        • Training our guns early on Duterte is like bypassing the SINs of the PAST committed by PNOY and his TUTAs…The FACT that almost all CPMERs here doesnt want to criticized the wrong doings of PNOYs before means they were BIAS, PAID journalist or would be journalist by outgoing administration to divert and to hide PNOYs wrong doongs of the past …In fact some CPMERs are already dreaming that Roxas will be their candodate again on 2022 presidential election. IMAGINE kundi ba naman sila mga GAGONG or PULPUL ang UTAK na CPMER journalist na mga ire ala e..he he…

          So the POOR Filipino people AGREE with DUTERTE that CORRUPT JOURNALIST , shall also be EXECUTED by the COLLATERALLY DAMAGED relatives of their topics..

          @SUP , @ John Jaconto , @Yvonne and many others here , for not practicing balance journalism , shall be EXECUTED he he …

          DRUG PUSHERs and USERs of Drugs including their KINS who are using drugs shall also be EXECUTED……Si @John Jacinto,, malamng nagamit ng DROGA itong taong ito o dilit kaya ang kanyang mga anak kaya dapat EXECUTION ang nararapat sa kanya..he he.

        • ANG PAGKA ALAM naming mahihirap na Filipino ay ang MAY SAYAD sa UTAK O BALIW are those CPMERS who are BLIND FOLLOWERS of ROXAS and HIS LPs…TALUNAN kasi at hanggang ngayon ay NANGANGARAP na si Roxas sana ang NANALO..He he TALO nga mga CPMERs…

        • @Victin, those you mentioned were answered by PNoy admin already. But if ever those issues will float again then PNoy has a chance to defend himself in a different set up. But it’s Duterte’s time and that’s a fact.

          You cannot ask CPMers to practice balance journalism since we are not journalists. We speak our minds just like you. We engage and learn from each other even if we have different opinions. Do not hate CPMers who happen to have different views. They are entitled for one just like you. Let’s talk about issues. Stick to the issues then move on. Sayang ang oras kung aaksayahin sa personalan.

        • Walang personalan @Vhin Ab…yes , i said and stick to the issue today…today ? What i had posted issues during PNOYs tenure were not address positively .” Ang dami nilang itinago na dapat ungkatin , at alam ninyo iyan. Criminally liable si Pnoy kung kalkalin nating maige , and will be one of the main causes why Filipinos , ( majority ) were still POOR .

          You might not be the paid journalist iam reffering to, but many CPMErs here are PAID writers of the outgoing Administration. @yvonne was one….kasi it does not came from his mind and heart but coming her sources ( clandestinely ) just to destroy a persons in order to satisfy his boss Roxas and Pnoy…subaybayan mo kung papaano ang takbo ang mga comments nila@vhin ab…

          I think, kung hindi ka kasama sa kanila ,good , pero dapat SILA ang mag MOVE ON…..But FOCUS first to the sin of the past administration ( PNOY ) in order to carry on the INCOMING administration whatever the CORRECTNESS we can established on this BLOG…But how can we do that if ” hindi pa nagsisimula si Duterte , kung ano ano na ang paninira ninyo without looking back the SINs of the PAST…..@vhin ab…it was never been legally answered. Their were so many violations of the past Administration….

          Bakit hindinatin ungkatin ang hinaing ng mga magsasaka ng Hacienda Luisita? Their large portions of that land that was never covered by the CARP… Nag MORO MORO noon ang SC to favor PNOYs relatives, pero ang katotohanan ay ang mga sinasabi ni Corona….CPMErs here never sided with Corona WE ( that includes ME ) sided with THEM and PNOY…kasi talaga namang mali pag ka apppoint at pagtanggap ni Corona ng CJ ng SC…Pero ang maling apportionment of so many hundred of hectares of that landed property of Luisita was very glaring that it should have beeb included in the distribution to their legal tenants….Hindi TULOG ang Filipino @vhin ab…..Sabi ko mga what we need here are Balance Posting of comments …

          @vhin ab…basahain moang mga comments ng mga kasamahan natin dito at you can go into conclusion they CPMErs are still dreaming that Roxas will be our President SANA and dreaning to be their candidate next 2022… Analyze them

        • @Victin, dont worry at yung legal na sagot about Hacienda Luisita ay makukuha na sa google. Other issues ay meron na rin sa google. If dumating ang chance na may maghahabla kay PNoy ay hindi ba dapat welcome yon dahil ang korte ang siyang tamang lugar? Masasagot ang mga hinahanap mo na tanong doon. But since pababa na si PNoy ay si Duterte na ang bida.

          Let’s just say na ikaw na ang tama sa punto na sinasabi mo at kami na lahat ay mali, then stay calm lang and be slow in attacking CPMers dahil hindi naman kami ang kalaban. Stick pa rin tayo sa isyu. At isyu ang himayin at hindi ang tao dito dahil hindi naman tayo magkakakilala ng personal sabi nga ni Rene Ipil.

      • Victim Loose is a mental case like his god Rodrigo Duterte. Best if he is brought the NCMH asap.

    • HUWAG NYO NA KASING PANSININ ANG BUWANG NA YAN………….BASURA LANG IKINAKALAT NYAN DITO!!!!!!!!!

  6. KAYO ata ang KAWAWA na CPMERs na taga ROXAS….HINDI NINYO MATANGGAP na natalo kayo talag..he he….TAMA si DUTERTE ang corrupt na journalist ay dapat ay EXECUTION ang mangyari sa kanila…he he ang DAMI NINYO na nagalit kay DUTERTE ha ha ang conclusion ay ISA KAYO sa mga CORRUPT he he….

    • WAWA naman kayo ano…Si LENI pati ang gusto ninyong ISUBO he he hindi ninyo kakampi si LENI…

      Pustahan tayo may tatakbo sa inyo HERE…BAN natin si VICTINLUZ … He he….TOTOO kasi ang sinasabi ko ..kung ang KARAMIHAN sa inyo sito na CPMERS natatakot na kalabanin kayo ,, he he ako HINDI PO,, kasi tama ang sinasabi ko hindi kagaya ninyo lahat ng mga BANAT ninyo ay SOUR GRAPEs lang,, at bakit sour dahil , sa dinadami ninyong nagastos noong nakaraang election para manalo si ROXAS ninyo, , he he TALUNAN padin kayo….kasama kayo sa mga journalist siguro na nabayaran at corrupt..? He he

      • Siguro matagal nang natanggap ng karamihan ang pagkatalo ni Roxas. Sa bawat paglabas ng survey ay palagi ko ipinapakita na malaki ang kalamangan ni Duterte at expected na ang panalo niya. Hindi maiaalis sa iba na mahirapan sa pagtanggap pero karamihan ay gising sa katotohanan naman.

        Move on na tayo at harapin ang bagong hamon ng magiging administrasyon ni Duterte. Tapos na ang halalan matagal na. Kung sino man ang joirnalists at CPMer na corrupt na tinutukoy mo ay hindi ko alam kung saan nanggagaling yan pero sana focus na tayong lahat sa ikasusulong ng bansa.

  8. It looks like our blog has been infected by Victinluz Disease.
    Victinluz Disease is known to affect that part of the brain which controls happiness and well being leading to s state of pissed offness.
    Victinluz Disease is infectious and the only remedy is complete isolation. Take note CPMers and stay healthy and happy.

      • @Mel. Beware of infections. In rare cases even speaking or penning the name of the disease can lead to dementia.
        Should you wish to make contact with a carrier please be sure to wear Victindoms on your tongue and typing fingers.
        Abstention is the safest policy.

        • Kawawa naman.

          Kaya siguro ang handle niya speaks for itself with a space in between with the correct nomenclature – Victi n m Luz.

  9. Am only hoping that despite Duterte’s foul mouth and extra generous biases against women and journalists, he’ll deliver on his other promises of curbing drugs, corruption and criminality. Keeping my fingers crossed…
