Filipino Fantasy and Science Fiction

From Pinoyexchange:

Of Filipino fantasy, favorites would include Brocka's Gumising Ka Maruja (Wake Up, Maruja), Celso's Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara (Terrorizing Barbara), Bernal's Prigider (Refrigerator), Mario O'Hara's Halimaw sa Banga (Monster in a Jar), Dolphy's Omeng Satanasya, Gerry de Leon's Blood of the Vampires and the Caridad porton of Fe, Esperanza, Caridad.

Great fantasy would include Gerry de Leon's Sanda Wong and Sawa sa Lumang Simboryo (The Python in the Old Dome), and O'Hara's Pangarap ng Puso (Demons).

Good to great Filipino science fiction (there aren't many) would include de Leon's Terror is a Man, Mike de Leon's  Aliwan Paradise (Pleasure Paradise) segment of Southern Winds, and Lav Diaz's Hesus Rebolusyunaryo (Jesus the Revolutionary).
