I AM winding up my English translation of Mga Luha ng Buwaya, National Artist Amado V. Hernandez's second novel, for Penguin Random House Southeast Asia.

The work consists of 53 chapters and deals with the struggle of the poor tenant farmers and the informal settlers against the breathtakingly greedy and wealthy Grande family. Hernandez uses the old tale of the crocodiles in the river to mirror the rapacity of the landowners in the town of Sampilong.
