“Pascual’s stories break free and run wild because he has caused several conventions in traditional storytelling to vanish or disappear.”
- Eros Atalia
“It is imperative to read this book by Pascual especially now when we are losing ourselves, and we are losing the capacity to see ourselves in our fellowmen, in the other, whom we laugh at, whom are also laughing at our pathetic and beautiful lives. I laughed so hard reading this book, I was hardly able to breathe, and for some reason, it also made me cry like a fool.”
- Edgar Calabia Samar
“As you delve into his writings, you’ll find yourself transported to another realm, momentarily detached from the world you know, heading towards the world he crafted for you. And for your neighbors. And if there happens to be that neighbor you’re not on good terms with, this book is the way for you to get back at them. Believe me.”
- Joselito D. Delos Reyes
