| Summary | "Hindi Biro!... ó Ang Anting-Anting" by José R. Francia is a work of Filipino literature likely written in the early 20th century. This narrative blends elements of folklore and magical realism, exploring the themes surrounding charms, protection, and the human condition as experienced through the protagonist's humorous and poignant interactions. The book serves both as a form of entertainment and a reflection of traditional beliefs within Filipino culture. The story follows Juan Hanipol, a young man searching for anting-anting, or talismans, to shield him from misfortune and dangers. He encounters Taciong Bakal, an elderly farmer known for his prowess and former association with banditry, who becomes a mentor figure. As Juan learns the intricate rituals related to acquiring an anting-anting, various humorous and thought-provoking situations unfold, emphasizing the balance between superstition and reality. Through his journey, the novel highlights the significance of diligence, wisdom, and community ties in overcoming life's challenges, ultimately delivering both a comedic and a moral lesson.
