This is Young Blood 7, a fresh collection of the best essays featured in the Philippine Daily Inquirer's Young Blood column from 2016 - 2017.
Among the vibrant voices in this anthology, you will find students, teachers, parents, children, journalists, writers, doctors, engineers, an accountant, and a priest. They write about life and death, love and loss, dreams, failures, hopes and heartaches. There are love letters to math, memes, coffee and alcohol. There are ponderings on politics, past and present. They bring you aboard a jeepney to Escolta and a bus to Baguio. They take you to the streets of Cubao and Quiapo and the beaches of Koh Phayam. They transport you to Portland, Minnesota, Iloilo and Mindanao, to the zoo, to farms, to classrooms, hospital, and to the most intimate corners of their homes. They rail against injustice, they celebrate adventure.
Dive into Young Blood 7. It's going to be an interesting ride.
