9. • ABNKKBSNPLAko?! is a 2001
autobiography by Filipino author Bob
Ong
"Aba, nakakabasa na pala ako?!",
which can be roughly translated as "Wow, I
can actually read now?!"

10. • Bob Ong, or Roberto Ong, is the pseudonym of a
Filipino contemporary author known for using
conversational Filipino to create humorous and
reflective depictions of life as a Filipino.
One reviewer notes (translated from the vernacular):
"Filipinos really patronize Bob Ong's works because,
while most of his books may have an element of
comedy in them, this is presented in a manner that
replicates Filipino culture and traditions. This is likely
the reason why his first book - and those that followed
it, can be considered true Pinoy classics."
The six books he has published thus far have surpassed
a quarter of a million copies.
