Great Philippine Jungle Energy Café

In Great Philippine Jungle Energy Café, everything is happening under the light of eternity. So side by side occur the Revolution of ’96, the demos against Marcos in the ’80s, and banditry in the boondocks in the days of the Guardia Civil. Visayan scenery in Spanish times will conjure up the Silliman summer workshops of the 1960s, while the career of Leon Kilat is simultaneous with the writing of a screenplay based on his life. This hero who becomes a sacristan, who becomes a Singer salesman, who becomes a circus performer, who becomes a revolucionario, is a good a metaphor for the Filipino as any other.
