Filipino-American YouTuber and social media personality Bretman Rock is coming back to the Philippines to launch his memoir, You’re That Bitch and Other Cute Lessons About Being Unapologetically Yourself.
Published by HarperCollins, the 272-page book was released in the United States on 14 February.
“Hilarious and earnest, this collection of essays, and never-before-seen photos goes far beyond what we know of Bretman Rock from social media. Who is Bretman Rock Sacayanan behind the screen and how did he become the original superstar influencer and today’s beloved best friend of the Internet?” the publisher describes the book.
“You’re That Bitch welcomes you into Bretman Rock’s world — from how his childhood in the Philippines, his family, Filipino culture, and being a first-generation immigrant helped shape him into who he is today. Peek into how Bretman became a social media sensation at the precocious age of 14, balancing living a glamorous jet-setting lifestyle on weekends while still serving lunch at his school’s cafeteria, running as a varsity track-star, and making honor roll during the week. With his signature honesty, this is an unfiltered and unprecedented look at what it means to be one of the first digital celebrities and that bitch — from dealing with cancel culture, drama and heartbreak, to what it means to love yourself and your community,” they further say.
National Bookstore is making the book available in the Philippines in its select Metro Manila branches (Glorietta 1, SM Mall of Asia, SM Manila, SM Megamall and SM North EDSA) at P1,595 per hardcover copy. They are also raffling away slots to Rock’s book signing events to buyers.
The book signing event will be held on 4 March at SM Megamall and 5 March at SM Mall of Asia. Only 150 persons will be accommodated at each event.
