| Publisher Description: Synopsis of "The Dove Files": Traditional symbolism and cultural perceptions of the Dove is that of patience, of peace, of love. The most withstanding meaning, is that of emancipation and hope. It is also a Filipino euphemism for a prostitute. Together with the passionate art of the author's good friend Betty Abrantes, fellow Definitely Filipino Admin Karlo Barriga and Social Illusionist Jon Jaylo, "The Dove Files" brings a collection of popular and new writings in Filipino, Taglish and English by one of the most read online authors, Mike Portes. From the "kalapating mababa ang lipad" in the original screenplay and movie stills of "Minsan may Isang Puta", to redemption from ignorance and arrogance in the new short story "Ang bata sa Dilim" and old popular online articles which includes: "What's in a school?", "Hindi imposible ang pagbabago kapag ginusto mo", "A quiet dignity", "Divorce and Love defined..." and more, chapters that endeavor to understand and honor the past and the present in order to face the future in full frontal. No sugar coating. No delusions.
