A sweeping historical novel set across three generations of Philippine struggle, Ang Aso, ang Pulgas, ang Bonsai at ang Kolorum follows ordinary farmers and villagers through the Katipunan revolution, American occupation, and post-war upheaval. Jose Rey Munsayac foregrounds the forgotten foot soldiers of the independence movement rather than its celebrated generals, building a vivid portrait of how ordinary Filipinos shaped the nation’s history. Winner of the Philippine Centennial Literary Prize, it is widely considered one of the major works of Filipino historical fiction.
