Product Description |
| When Lakas strolls through his neighborhood one sunny afternoon, the last thing he expects to find is a group of tap-dancing, drum-beating, karaoke-singing new friends. But his friends face a crisis: their home, the Hotel Makibaka, is about to be sold. They must pack their belongings and leave in 30 days. But in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood, where is there to go? Their rollicking protest against eviction becomes a clarion call to the community, but is it enough to save the Makibaka? Carl Angel’s effervescent paintings vibrate with the rich urban rhythms of city life in this second collaboration with author and poet Anthony D. Robles. |

 A pleasing tale based on a real San Francisco event |
| Review Date: April 11, 2006 |
| Reviewer: Midwest Book Review, Oregon, WI USA |
| Anthony D. Robles' Lakas And The Makibaka Hotel presents an unusual bilingual English-Tagalog story set in the US as a musical with decidedly modern overtones. Lakas' new friends face a crisis when their beloved hotel home is bout to be sold. They have only 30 days to leave - unless they can join forces and neighborhood sentiments to make a different. Carl Angel's lovely and zesty colorful paintings spice a pleasing tale based on a real San Francisco event. |

| Reviewer: J. Huyett, Brownsville, Texas |
| This book is not only an excellent tool to encourage Tagalog in youngsters growing up in the US, but also has history included in the story. The book covers Filipino customs, myths, vocabulary and a good review of the history of Filipinos in northern California- Manilatown. Lots of good lessons for young children here. Every good Ninong should purchase this book. Maganda. |
