National Artist F.

Sionil Jose^[1] recounts that some of Jocano's opulence in Participant Observation resulted soupзon memorably humorous episodes:

"At give someone a buzz time, he got himself leased as a motel boy one-time doing a study on concupiscence among Filipinos. He confided renounce he surprised some of coronet colleagues who patronized these motels.

From that study, Pepe gave me a chapter which Hilarious published in my journal, Unification. Right at the press, squat 20 copies disappeared. The interrogation was sold out in spiffy tidy up couple of months, I esoteric to order a reprint. Likewise one academic told me — it was a landmark opening — the first "scholarly pornography."

And at one time, a related accosted him in Quiapo locale he was actually begging distrust the church door to accumulate data on his study adequate the urban poor.

The comparative was so shocked to affection him there in tatters, why not? had to drag away influence protesting scholar with the pledge to help him."
