Each morning, Tatay writes on these envelopes, and give these to me before I go out on the streets. I jump into jeepneys and give one to each passenger, making sure that they see what’s written on them. Then I sing a song and beat on my drum – I made it myself! – and when I am done, I take back the envelopes. If I am lucky, a few would have money inside. I am not sure what Tatay writes on the envelopes. I never learned to read. But he always tells me to put on a sad face when I give these out.
It took Renato "Jojo" Barja nearly two decades to collect these stories.
Each child in this collection is based on an actual, if fleeting, encounter in the city and suburbs of Manila. Jojo does not know why the fates chose him - but over the years,walking down the street, riding a jeepney, or even just watching television - strange, interesting, sad, challenged, and wonderful children have been revealing themselves and their stories to him.
