Brought home coffee table book entitled "Boljoon: A cultural sketch"
Bolhoon -- A Cultural Sketch By Paul Gerschwiler 2009, 172 pages including annexes For five hundred pesos, this coffee table book authored by a Swiss Paul Gerschwiler who is married to a Filipina and published in 2009 by The Boljoon Heritage Foundation, Inc. went home with me.
