The Crocodile God by JamieBruja

If a god loses his community, his rituals, and most records of his existence, what is left of him to call divine? On a windy beach in California, Mirasol finds a shipwrecked man and takes him to the hospital. With no phone, no ID, and barely any clothes after the sea got done with him, the most information they can get is that his name is Haik, and for lack of better options, he's discharged to Mirasol's place. Dark-skinned, covered in tattoos, and hailing from Australia, Haik is not the typical Filipino. He tells her stories of the Tagalogs' far past, a foreign and unknown country--and soon finds out that he is Haik the sea-god, constantly searching for his mortal wife, and they are both stuck in a loop of reincarnation after their whale-goddess daughter was stillborn. Unfortunately, she also finds out that he's an undocumented immigrant.

El Filibusterismo (The Reign of Greed) by russell45

From the renowned Filipino reformist and national hero Dr. Jose Rizal comes a classic piece of literature portraying the grim reality of the backward state of the Philippines during the Spanish era. After the events of the first novel "Noli Me Tangere", El Filibusterismo follows the story of Simoun, a mysterious jeweller from America on a business venture in the Philippines. Widely known by the name "Black Cardinal", he earned his infamous reputation as a trader for his dark but unusually persuasive countenance, crooked morals, and unorthodox methods in doing business. To the regular folk, he is just another entrepreneur with a twisted sense of morality, but unknown to everybody, he is much more than just a mere opportunist he seemed to be. For beneath his dark glasses and silvery white hair, there lies beyond them a much deeper and darker persona...waiting for the right time to strike!

After seven years of studying in Europe, a wealthy young gentleman by the name of Juan Crisostomo Ibarra returns to the Philippines, filled with hope and inspired by dreams for the betterment of the country. Armed with sheer determination and a firm and positive outlook on things, he commits himself to continuing his father's philanthropical work, pioneering projects aiming at the development of the people's welfare by providing means to education and livelihood. While there are people who are avid supporters of the young man's cause, there exists in the shadows an entity as dark and malicious as the abyss it came from, shrouded deeply by lies and deceit and the hypocrisy that spawned it, hell-bent on destroying everything that stood in its path...
