F. Sionil Jose's great Rosales saga, an outraged testament to the inequalities that wrack Manila and the country at large, is rivaled only by Rizal's Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. -Tim Kindseth, Time. "F. Sionil Jose has written 'one of the top novels (Ermita) in Southeast Asia... together with Graham Greene, Andre Malraux, Joseph Conrad..." -Ron Rennard, Discovery Magazine. Juan Bacnag dela Cruz III is familiar to many Filipinos. He is urbane, approachable, a lover of the good life and women and kindly towards his fellowmen. He is also very rich, heir to a vast family fortune, an entrepreneur and innovator. As the latest allegorical creation of the Philippines' most widely translated author, Juan Bacnang dela Cruz III illustrates vividly the raw power as it operates in this country. Unknown or glossed over by the Filipinos themselves. Already known for his searing criticism of injustice and inequities. Sionil Jose's latest work unravels even more thoroughly and deeper the murky whys and wherefores of the Filipino condition. In 1980, Sionil Jose received the Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Award for literature and Journalism
