Ang Tundo Man May Langit Din ("Even Tundo Has a Heaven") is a 1960 Tagalog-language novel written by Filipino novelist Andres Cristobal Cruz. The novel was first serialized in 48 issues of Liwayway from June 22, 1959 to May 16, 1960,[1] and was then published in book form by the Ateneo de Manila University Press in 1986.
The novel involves love and romance occurring between individuals that residing in a poverty-stricken area in Tondo, Manila in the Philippines. The social background of the individuals produces a "dramatizing effect" in presenting the Philippine experience laid out in contemporary context and setting, giving the novel a similarity in style and theme to Philippine national hero Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere.[2]
