The most enjoyable way to learn about an unfamiliar culture is through its stories--especially when they're told in two languages!

Stories from different periods are presented so learners get a feel for authentic Filipino texts.

Four of the stories are by well-known Filipino writers and are presented in complete or partially condensed form. These include:
- Estrangheritis by Inigo Ed. Regalado (1907)--The writer is critical of Filipinos who exalt all things foreign while, in fact, benefitting from their own land but unappreciative of their national culture.
- Desire by Paz Latorena (1928)--The story of a Filipino woman who has to deal with the narrow-mindedness of a foreigner who is far more interested in her body than in her personality.
- Greta Garbo by Deogracia Rosaro (1930)--Monina, who looks like Greta Garbo, plans a weekend getaway with her beau, only to be left at the station waiting, and later discovers he has gone on a honeymoon!
- Maria Elena Paterno's Sampaguita (1991)--Two popular legends about the Sampaguita (Philippine jasmine flower) which touch on the themes of courage and forbidden love.
Stories from different periods are presented so learners get a feel for authentic Filipino texts.
