Manila Fortuna is a fictionalised Travelogue which describes
Manila through the eyes of previous explorers and through
the liaisons and romantic relationships of the narrator of this
semi-fictionalised story of the City and its people. But the
special twist to this story is the conditional status of its veracity,
for Manila culture embodies tsismis, a peculiar Filipino form
of rumour, consequently this story is ambiguously real and
make-believe.
