A collection of short stories with Philippine themes written in Tagalog. The book is a showcase of the language, culture, and character of the Filipino. Some of the stories have been featured in literary magazines Liwayway, Bulaklak, Aliwan, and Ilang-Ilang; and the newspaper Asian Journal. The lead story dramatizes tattoing in the Philippines - a ritual of deep spiritual meaning. Other stories explore the realms of the Nuno sa Punso (Old Man of the Mound), space alien, the Ifugao-Bontoc people of the world-famous rice terraces, the world as seen by an old mango tree. Still other stories narrate human experience in love, in hardship, in victory and failure, in gaining and losing honor. The narrations provide a glimpse into life in the Philippines, then and now.

“May Bagwis ang Pag-ibig” touches on an environmental and political disaster in a Spratly Island-like locale. The environmental/political issues were woven with a love story and the lives of common people living in a remote island. In the real world, a concern exists that there could be a nuclear confrontation in the South China Sea between China and the U.S. China maintains that the Sea is within its territory, while the U.S. insists that the Sea is international waters. The rest of the stories portray the failures and successes of Filipinos who chose to live in foreign lands, the poor people's helplessness in the Philippines, and timely issues like the UFO and gay marriage. The stories of Alberto Segismundo Cruz relive the times when magazines and comics regaled the public before TV became popular; and more importantly, preserve for posterity the Tagalog Language's beautiful prose and vocabulary now threatened to extinction due to lack of use. Alberto’s stories dwell on the timelessness of honesty, honor, respect for tradition, purity of love, surmounting life's challenges, and the like.

He was a Filipino poet, short story writer and novelist. Three of his novels have been published by Ateneo de Manila Press - Piling Nobela: Lakandula, Halimuyak, Ang Bungo (1997). Three novels that present the causes of the people’s misery. Written by the notable multi-awarded fictionist during the American Occupation. Soledad S. Reyes of Ateneo de Manila University wrote: "The interconnectedness between the past and the present was a theme familiar to many Filipino writers who, in a variety of ways, argued the need to remember the past. Francisco Laksamana, Faustino Aguilar, Lazaro Francisco, Alberto Segismundo Cruz, Macario Pineda, and even Fausto Galauran, among others, constructed narratives enjoining the readers not to be dazzled by the present, but to remember the heroic and noble past of their forefathers."

Sa mahabang panahon, ang Paraiso ay naging tunay na mumunting paraiso na bagama’t salat sa yaman at karangyaan ng lungsod ay naging tahimik at mapagtangkilik na tahanan ng mga naninirahan doon. Sila ay namuhay ng buhay na tahimik at malayo sa karamdaman. Ang matulaing pook na ito ay pangarap lamang sa isipan ng mga taga-lungsod kung iisipin na sa mundo nila sila ay nakikibaka sa masasamang dulot ng maruruming hangin at tubig, radiation, basura at tag-tuyot. Balik sa Kalikasan ang sigaw ng maraming tao; ang Paraiso ay isa sa kakaunting pook na hindi kailangang bumalik sa Kalikasan sapagka’t di nito nilisan ang Kalikasan kailanman.

Ang pagtanda ay makasaysayan sa ating panahon sa dahilang pinakamarami ang bilang ng matatanda sa buong kasaysayan ng tao sa mundo. Ang tinatawag na “baby boomers”, ang mga ipinanganak pagkakatapos ng World War II, ay silang matatanda na ngayon (edad 65 hanggang 72, humugit-kumulang); at pinakamarami ang kanilang bilang kung ihahambing sa matatanda ng ibang panahon. Makatuwirang gawing paksa ang pagtanda at ang kasanib na mga usapin katulad ng psychology ng matatanda, ang kanilang mga pangangailangan, ang mga pagbabago sa kanilang pangangatawan at kaisipan. ang pakikitungo nila sa lipunan, at ang pakikitungo ng lipunan sa kanila. Ang paksang ito ay nagdudulot ng isang libo’t isang nakatatalino, nakalilibang, at nakauunawa na paglalakbay sa naiibang mundo. Alzheimer, sa ating kultura ang tawag ay pagka-ulian, ay isang mahalagang paksa sa pagtanda na sa maikling kuwentong Black Widow ay inilalarawan. Ang ating nakikita sa galaw at salita ng matatanda, ang mga ito ba ay batay sa katotohanan o mula sa kamalayang ligaw, lito? Ibang kuwento sa libro: Housewife for Rent, Limotagad, Je de Mots, Engrande ang Kasal ng Mrs. Niya.
