Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi Zine (2023)

Last few copies of Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi (2023)

Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi collects the lives of people wide awake as Manila sleeps. Often because of the labor that keeps them in the nighttime, they toil in the streets while the whole city drifts off. It’s a tough life, but it’s a quiet one. There is a certain solitude and strange tranquility that the wee hours offer. There is joy to be found in convenience store food. There are new friends to be had in bars. And some nights, there is a brief respite in buy-one-take-one burgers after your night shift.
