The gallant Filipino / by Tito Guingona. - Pasig City : Anvil Pub., c1993. - 222 p. : ill. 23 cm.

The Guingona's The Gallant Filipino, written in a seemingly effortless and fluid style that makes easy reading, is woven against the tapestry of the glorious history of the Filipino race, with each gallant Filipino's life serving as a chapter, as it were, of that history. These men and women were heroes not only in the one big spectacular moment of their life for which they would be revered but were heroes also in the trite everydayness of their daily existence. Such was their often unspectacular preparation for the "big-time heroism" we celebrate in this book. (Belinda Olivares-Cunanan, Columnist, Philippine Daily Inquirer)
