"The selection of front pages in Philippine history reflects how writers and journalists reported on significant issues and events that shaped the history of the Philippines since the first newspaper was printed in the islands. It is a visual testimony of relevant episodes in its history which researchers, historians, and students can make use of in understanding the transformation of a people and nation -- from a colony to independence and nationhood, to dictatorship and democratic restoration. The front pages in this collection are lifted from the personal archive of the author who collected them in the last 25 years. A great majority are in Spanish because it was the medium of expression during those pioneering decades in Philippine journalism. This collection evokes nostalgia for the beginnings of print journalism at a time when we are embracing the social media as a powerful means of communicating news and information in the 21st century. The headlines of yesterday will always have value for tomorrow's readers."
