Mr.Francis Salud's column on KA

This appeared on Dec. 29 issue of Pinoy Extra (ArabNews) via Mr. Francis Salud's column Samu't Sari Patrol. I'd like to thank Mr. Salud for supporting the book. I reproduced the text below in case you have difficulty reading it (sure!).

KAPENG ARABO, librong tumatalakay sa mga naging karanasan ng OFW. Ang librong Kapeng Arabo ay hango sa kwento ng mga naging buhay-buhay ng ilan nating kababayang OFWs.

Hinabi ni Manny Garcia, may akda ng libro at editor at publisher ng e-newsletter na SAWALI, ang mga sanaysay mula sa kanyang sariling karanasan at pangaraw araw na pakikisalamuha sa mga kapwa Pinoy.

Tinatalakay ni Garcia ang kalungkutang dinaranas ng mga Pinoy na napadpad dito sa Kaharian at kung paano nila ito pinaglalabanan habang sila'y malayo sa kanilang mga pamilya.

Mabibili ang Kapeng Arabo sa National Bookstore sa Pinas at sa Jarir Bookstore sa Kaharian at iba pang GCC countries.

KA, now in the Middle East

Whether you are in the country or in the Middle East, now you have easy access to this exciting book. Kapeng Arabo is the first Filipino, Tagalog written book widely circulated in the Gulf Cooperating Countries (GCC).

Initially launched in the Philippines via the National Bookstore, the book is now on display on all Jarir Bookstore branches across GCC. This includes Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

The book is full of thought-provoking anecdotes of living abroad that will somehow relive or disturb the Filipino in each of us.

Ideal gift to your loved ones too, especially those working abroad. Make them realize the more important things in life.

Please spread the good news!
