Dugo Sa Bukang-Liwayway (Bleeding Sun)

Translated by Ma. Aurora L. Sicat

The journey of a poor farmer's son

Bleeding Sun is a novel about agrarian reform but it is also the story of Simon, a farmer's son, who is born in the poorest province. He grows up with no mother, his father dies after he graduates from high school, falls in love with a socialite, runs away from home and returns with a silent vengeance.
