Patron Saints of Nothing
Randy Ribay
Jay Reguero, who moved from the Philippines to the United States as a baby, learns that his cousin Jun has died. He feels grief and guilt over their fading correspondence, while relatives refuse to explain what happened. An anonymous message links Jun’s death to President Duterte’s violent war on drugs, prompting Jay to travel to the Philippines during his senior-year spring break. As he looks for answers, he encounters silence in his police-officer uncle’s home and learns more about Jun’s commitment to justice.
