by Jose F. Lacaba

Historic and historical, Notes On Bakya and Other Essays brings us readers 60 years back to the core Philippine pop culture and beyond. Pete Lacaba together with Valerio Nofuente and Bienvenido Lumbera, clearly paved the way for pop to pop in the mainstream. What Days of Disquiet, Nights of Rage’s coverage of the firs quarter storm is to new or literary journalism, Pete continues his exemplary writing in the cultural sphere of pop in Notes On Bakya, mostly in the pre-martial law era with the stellar account of the inauguration of the Cultural Center of the Philippines and beyond, with his writing of the night Lino Brocka died, on the travails of becoming a scriptwriter, and on ceasing to be a poet in English. This book navigates the life, times, and mind of a writer at the peak of his long writing career.
