Among the writings I concentrated on and found most accurate and incisive in reflecting reality in the depiction of the country and people, and most insightful and profound in proposing solutions to the deep and long-standing problems of the people and society were KaJoema’sStruggle for National Democracy and (under the pseudonym of “Amado Guerrero”) Philippine Society and Revolution, as well as the Communist Manifesto and various classical works of Marx, Engels, Lenin, MaoZedong, plus John Eaton's Political Economy.
Ilan sa mga sulating kinonsentrahan ko at natuksalasang tumpak at matalas na nagsalamin sa kalagayan ng bansa at mamamayan, at sa pagiging malaman at malalim sa paglalatag ng solusyon sa malalim at umiiral na mga suliranin ng mamamayan at lipunan ay ang sinulat ni Ka Joema na Struggle for National Democracy at (sa alyas na "Amado Guerrero") Philippine Society and Revolution, maging ang Communist Manifesto at iba pang klasikal na akda nina Marx, Engels, Lenin, Mao Zedong, at ang Political Economy ni John Eaton.
