Maganda
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.

Good Story
The story was pretty good, but it didnt seem to have a very good purpose. The message it sent out was a little iffy to kids. Lakas (the boy) walked through the town and talked to many different people on the street, I am just not so sure I would want my kids thinking that this was okay to do.

A pleasing tale based on a real San Francisco event,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lakas and the Makibaka Hotel /Si Lakas at ang Makibaka Hotel (Hardcover)
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.
