Tuwing Umuulan from Kataga-Manila, is a precious collection of literary pieces from 13 authors.

Book launch will be on May 26, at the Club Intramuros Golf Course at 4 p.m.

The anthology delves on the metaphor of rain. Pieces of various genres such as poems, short stories, essays, flash fictions, etc. skillfully and creatively reflect the life of the Filipino in touch with the reality that rain is integral in his experience and evolution as a person, a character, and a complete human being. The authors are clever in their use of rain as background for their literary creations in Filipino that will entice every reader who knows and understands the breadth of joy and sorrow that the subject of rain covers.
