520			_a"This book about "trapo politics" and our people's apathy and disconnect from nationhood is a must read for those in power, those who wish to be in political power, and even those who wish to initiate a sea of change for a better society and country. The wide range of research, experience, and attention conducted by Manny Valdehuesa on what ails our society and people, and how we can still recover from our sorry state focus on the fundamental unit of our society and government: the barangay." - From the Book
