What is The National Pastime : Contemporary Philippine Cinema about?

Over 50 reviews of some of the most significant films and film-related products in the country during the 1980s, plus several stills and behind-the-scenes pictures, some previously unpublished; a number of full-length, controversial, and highly influential essays and updates; English translations (including official versions) of 160-plus Filipino titles and terms, a glossary with over 70 entries, and an index of names and titles. Joel David, Dr. Bienvenido Lumbera writes in the introduction, "stands apart as a reviewer because he has been touched by theory as no other regular reviewer active hereabouts has been.... After an encounter with him, we come away feeling that our assumed verities have been challenged and that, possibly, we ought to review our experience of a particular film."
