About the Book

About the book "Make My Day" "Make My Day" is the name of the column that Hilarion M. Henares Jr. wrote daily for the Philippine Daily Inquirer, and is chosen as the title of this book of collected essays. This is his Book No. 1. Larry Henares discovered that "the high and the mighty do not mind being feared, do not mind being hated -- that is the price they pay on the way to riches and power. But they hate to be made fun of and to be laughed at, because this lowers their self-esteem." This discovery by a writer who was intimate with the powers-that-be as a friend, business colleague and relative, financially independent enough to resist any bullying, and with a unique talent to move people to tears and laughter -- gave birth one of the most unique newspaper columns in journalistic history. The first piece in this book about the small size of Major Jejomar Binay of Makati, describing him as a tadpole born of constipation, and baptized with a drop of water and a grain of salt, is a classic long remembered with belly-aching laughter. Former Labor Secretary and now Senator Blas Ople is presented as a patriot but only when he is drunk and watering potted plants in hotel lobbies. Vice President Doy Laurel is pictured as a political bungler with a smile that is halfway between a snarl and a smirk. Likewise, the readers are served with a Central Bank governor as a pompous ass, a Defense Secretary as a duck with a penchant for self-destruction, and an economic czarina as a screaming banshee who blows cigarette smoke at protagonists in TV debates. Yet Henares can move his readers to shed tears unashamedly at the death of a friend, as he did with Elvira and Tito Manahan, Lando Olalia, and Rrex Baquiran. His hospital drama, "Maxicart! Maxicart!" is a classic long remembered by doctors. His essays on the Filipino male as a lover, on The Kiss, the art of insult, the negro race, the Great White Father -- all included in this volume -- are replete with original insights and unparalleled mastery of subject and style. The other books by Henares released simultaneously are entitled "Nice and Nasty," "Cecilia My Love," and "Sweet and Sour." ----------- About the Author Hilarion M. Henares Jr., known as Larry Henares, is a graduate of Ateneo de Manila, University of the Philippines, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, an engineer, economist, educator, big businessman, writer, civic leader, public servant, and hobbyist (guns, books, amateur radio and electronics). He is a film maker who won the Famas Academy Award for the Best Documentary of the Year. He was a businessman who was awarded Young Businessman of the Year, and the Industrialist of the Year by the Business Writers Association. He was an educator who was dean of two graduate schools before the age of 25. He became the President of the Philippine Chamber of Industries, and a member of the Presidential Cabinet as the Chairman of the National Economic Council. He is a writer known for his essays on economics, history, art and culture, a front page columnist in the pre-martial law Manila Times and the most widely read column in the Philippines, according to all surveys, the daily "Make my Day" in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, after the EDSA revolt. He wrote daily commentaries in many Philippine newspapers until he resigned in 2000, to take up his duties as Presidential Consultant on National Affairs to Philippine Presidents, Fidel V. Ramos and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Dr. Hilarion M. Henares, Jr., has a degree as Doctor of Economics. At the age of 30, he was already the head of a multi-million peso business enterprise.
