Ang Pagbabalik ni Darna.
Sa panahon ng mga rumaragasang digmaan sa Iraq at sa Mindano, muling lumilipad
ang pinakakilalang Pilipinang superhero, si Darna—isang makapangyarihang
mandirigma ng kapayapaan at katarungan. Ibang-iba si Darna kumpara sa
isang makapangyarihan at paladigmang babaeng kilala natin. (Larawan

wika nga ay third world.

MAIKLING KUWENTO
Langoy
Ni Piya Constantino
"Langoy nang langoy ang anak ko. Hindi niya alintana ang baho
ng tubig o ang galit ng tatay niya. Ayaw kasi ng tatay niya na lumalangoy
siya, dapat daw na nasa lupa lang siya nang hindi mangamoy patay ang
buong bahay."
Masokista
Ni Maurelio Cabo
"Paano malilimot ni Marcela ang mga tagpong iyon? Ang mga
tagpong halos hindi na niya makilala ang sarili. Na pakiwari niya 'y
inililipad patungong impiyerno ang katawan niya. Ang bawat sampal, tadyak,
suntok, at paso ng sigarilyo ay totoong malaon nang nagpamanhid sa kanya,
at maging ang marahas nitong pakikipagtalik na wari bang siya'y isang
puta."
The Ride Home
By Anna Sanchez
"Denny waited a long time but neither seemed to talk. Nothing
happened. Denny relaxed. Soon he became aware of the cold, lemon-scented
air flowing from the car aircon, enveloping him so that he pressed
against his school backpack for warmth. The soundtrack played on in
his head, and he nodded to the beat as the traffic moved forward steadily.
The fluid, gentle vibration of the Honda put him at ease. Soon he
was asleep."

"When

Ang Obhetibidad at ang mga Digmaan
"Ngunit
ano ba ang obhetibidad? Ito ay ang pagsasaalang-alang sa magkabilang

ano ang di matwid."
