In between, Robert parses historical research for his grant-awarded novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jungle Café is rest stop and watering hole to the likes of José Rizal \u0026amp; Rimbaud \u0026amp; Ishmael Bernal \u0026amp; Sandra Dee \u0026amp; Maurice Arcache \u0026amp; Billy Ray Bates. Leon Kilat is not a regular just yet—he first has to be the bandit, the Singer salesman, the baker’s apprentice, and the revolucionario before he can wine and dine and gossip and guffaw with the old gang and Robert Aguinaldo at the Great Philippine Jungle Energy Café, dazed though he might be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1988, Alfred A.
