Does anyone know any good books about the Philippines or about learning Tagalog?  Where can I find them online?

Here's a couple of sites for language lessons:

You might also stop by your local Office Max or Staples.
They have language programs for computers.
You may have to order the Tangalog one though; they usually only carry the most common languages(French, German, Spanish).

Hello! Here are some links to some books about the Philippines.
Among these are Jean's "Filipina Courtship Secrets" and Bob Lingerfelt's
"ASAWA Guide" and Gary Clark's book.

"The Dog Eaters" and "The Gangster of Love" by Jessica Hagedorn are
fictional stories about the Philippines.

Have you read Jean's "Filipina Courtship Secrets?" and if so, how was it?

A good book to start with is "Culture Shock! Philippines" by Roces. amazon.com carries it, along with a good selection of Tagalog dictionaries and other Filipino-related books.

Also, these guys have a large listing of books you can order:
