In a cross-cultural collision, a New Yorker discovers love among the locals!

When Halina Mitchell makes her first trip to Manila, the eye-opening immersion in her homeland turns all her assumptions on their head. With the film critic Cris as her guide, she's given a vivid glimpse of a teeming city few others get to see. Will her growing affections include the irreverent writer? Captured in Arnold Arre's distinctive style, Halina Filipina is about finding one's place in the world - or in two worlds at once!

ARNOLD ARRE won the inagural graphic novel Filipino National Book Award in 2000 for The Mythology Class. He is the creator of Martial Law Babies, After Eden, Ang Mundo ni Andong Agimat, Trip to Tagaytay, and the acclaimed Children of Bathala series.
