This collection of personal essays is an intimate look into the Filipino high school experience, one that is marked by first-time experiences, friendships and heartbreaks, and explorations in identity, altogether contextualized within the country’s educational system borne from our colonial history and our social turmoils. These are elegies to an era worth remembering, writing, and memorializing. Even as the older styled high school is gone, this anthology of personal essays brings this momentous event to life and literature. We do remember, we will not forget.
