The Living Episodes

The Living Episodes is the personal chronicle on the life and times of its author, Herman Mendoza Cruz of Calumpit, Bulacan province set in the backdrop of historical landmarks and milestones of the Philippines. From the controversial beginnings of his family during the late 1800s in Intramuros and Binondo, Manila; as a boy during the Japanese occupation and American liberation in Calumpit, to his adventures as a teenager back in the streets of post-war Manila being a young political activist, radio talent and thespian; later as a roving sanitation worker, a public health manager and hospital administrator in the Province of Bulacan and his musings as retired political consultant to reknowned leaders, Herman M. Cruz earned his feathers as a counsel and visionary at 87. The Living Episodes is a testament to a life well-lived and well-written.
