Summary
Award-winning Filipino comic， and soon to be Netflix anime series！
When dusk arrives in the city of Manila， that's when you become the most likely prey of the underworld。 Kidnappers and thieves will be the least of your worries。
Beware the criminals that can't be bound with handcuffs nor harmed with bullets。 Beware the ones that crave for your blood， those who hold your heart ransom， and the ones that come to steal your soul。 When crime takes a turn for the weird， the police call Alexandra Trese。
Trese Vol 2 "Unreported Murders" contains four mysteries for Alexandra Trese to solve; including a murdered dwarven-creature， a police station held under siege by the undead， an elusive serial killer living in the sewers of the city， and an unassuming gated-community that's willing to pay the price to live the privileged life。
All the stories feature updated/re-mastered artwork， and a substantial bonus section about the monsters of Philippine myth， as told by its creators Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo！

Look， it’s not my fault the second volume arrived before the first 🥲

This second volume of Trese follows the episodic （but not serialized） storytelling format begun with its first issue。 This means solid individual adventures but no larger plot。The story that stood out most to me was the one involving the Livewell Village deaths。 It's a classic tale of greed and sacrifice。 Similarly， the mall drama of Embrace of the Unwanted made me chuckle as Trese dipped into immortalizing some urban legends beyond classic Philippine mythology in the story。There is still that n This second volume of Trese follows the episodic （but not serialized） storytelling format begun with its first issue。 This means solid individual adventures but no larger plot。The story that stood out most to me was the one involving the Livewell Village deaths。 It's a classic tale of greed and sacrifice。 Similarly， the mall drama of Embrace of the Unwanted made me chuckle as Trese dipped into immortalizing some urban legends beyond classic Philippine mythology in the story。There is still that nagging lack of character development at this point and we just have case after case that Trese flawlessly solves。 At most we fully appreciate the fact that Trese owns the Diabolical bar and often is situated there， but that's about it。 It can't tell what percentage of cases the police call Trese for but it feels like they don't always have evidence of the supernatural but go with her anyway。 The premise behind the cases is often quite intriguing and you find yourself trying to figure out which mythological creature is being referenced before Trese goes on to explain what's going on。 The actual resolution of the different stories never quite feels as satisfying。 Maybe if the comic reached a point of multi-issue stories， then we'd see more nuance and actual challenge for her and her associates。 Instead， the rush to set up the case and resolve it within 20 pages may be the biggest driver for how shallow some of the stories end up being by the end。Still interesting reading。 I see the potential。 But I also feel it could be so much more。 。。。more

What I really like about these stories is that it is a good representation for mythology （at least for me）。 While mythology gives an explanation for the unknown， it is also a reflection of human nature - the good and the bad， and also what results from it。 The supernatural creatures that Alexandra Trese encountered in her criminal investigations were like manifestations of humanity's ambition， hatred， pain， desire for vengeance， greed， etc。Also， even though the stories were somewhat predictable What I really like about these stories is that it is a good representation for mythology （at least for me）。 While mythology gives an explanation for the unknown， it is also a reflection of human nature - the good and the bad， and also what results from it。 The supernatural creatures that Alexandra Trese encountered in her criminal investigations were like manifestations of humanity's ambition， hatred， pain， desire for vengeance， greed， etc。Also， even though the stories were somewhat predictable （i。e。 Trese defeats the bad guys in the end） and follow a certain pattern， they are still very engrossing。I need to get my hands on the next volumes！！！ 。。。more

I was a little bit underwhelmed by Trese #2 due to the fact that we get to see fewer Filipino Mythology from this volume in comparison with its predecessor。 Instead， Budjette Tan used zombies and a seemingly x-men villain in some of the cases to be solved by our protagonist， Alexandra Trese。I still enjoyed reading them though。 It was action-packed and really immersive。 The illustrations looked so vivid and the panels will keep you on the edge of your seat。One thing I notice that I find questiona I was a little bit underwhelmed by Trese #2 due to the fact that we get to see fewer Filipino Mythology from this volume in comparison with its predecessor。 Instead， Budjette Tan used zombies and a seemingly x-men villain in some of the cases to be solved by our protagonist， Alexandra Trese。I still enjoyed reading them though。 It was action-packed and really immersive。 The illustrations looked so vivid and the panels will keep you on the edge of your seat。One thing I notice that I find questionable is why Budjette decided to let Trese lend her expertise to the police。 In case number #6: The Outpost on Kalayaan Street， we get a glimpse of the corruption of the police （which implies that Budjette is familiar with the “all cops are bastard” thing）， but why partner Trese to a police officer？ Can’t she work separately from the police？ I don’t know what the backstory of Captain Guerrero’s relationship to Trese family， but I hope it will be explained in the next volume。 Maybe it’s just me， but I get a feeling of “not all cops” narrative from the story。 Maybe I’m looking too much into this。Anyway， I want to see more of characterization to Trese because very little is known about her。 I want to know her family and their past。 Also， I want to learn more about Kambal—their life before and how they ended up working with Trese。 I will definitely continue reading the comics。Find me elsewhere:Blog | Instagram | Twitter 。。。more

A bitter-sweet sequel that leaves you wondering if the supernatural really are worse than humans Writing this review after the Netflix release， I'd say that the stories made more sense together but the short， original ones still has its charms。 For one， each story felt unique and revolved less about the Trese clan。 Albeit I wanted a more cohesive storyline throughout， I find that establishing the supernatural world first before diving deep into a bigger plot gives you more idea on the settings A bitter-sweet sequel that leaves you wondering if the supernatural really are worse than humans Writing this review after the Netflix release， I'd say that the stories made more sense together but the short， original ones still has its charms。 For one， each story felt unique and revolved less about the Trese clan。 Albeit I wanted a more cohesive storyline throughout， I find that establishing the supernatural world first before diving deep into a bigger plot gives you more idea on the settings of the book and the personalities of the characters。 The comic sure took its time building it which came into fruition on the third installment。 But before going there， here are the 4 cases of 'Unreported Murders':Case 5: A Little Known Murder in Studio 4 Loved the familiarity on the studio and the celebrity， it really gave the 80s Filipino showbiz vibe。 I mean， Nova Aurora is literally named after Nora Aunor， right？？ I just didn't like the cliché drama that came with that。 Still， featuring the duwende's blessings to their 'familiars' gave the perfect nod to the rule of not disrespecting the 'nuno sa punso' if you don't want misfortune！Case 6: The Outpost on Kalayaan Street It's the comic's own take on zombies which is pretty cool for they still brought something new to the table despite having those creatures revived in all ways possible！ This is also， by far， the most political out of all the cases; with justice as its core and how it's so far-fetched for the poor and powerless， they had to resort to magic。Case 7: Embrace of the Unwanted The classic tianak story and it totally gave me the creeps！ Probably the most scary out of all the cases （so far）！ There's nothing new to the plot but I really liked the additional of the Robinson's Mall lore of the snake-man who abducts women from the dressing rooms。 It felt like an inside joke when they started talking about it。Case 8: The Association Dues of Livewell Village Basically a modern day ritual with human sacrifices—only to an actual God of lightning。 On a deeper take， it speaks of social class; a jab to the rich who are willing to sacrifice others just so they could keep their comfortable lives。 The supposed spontaneity of the books manifested here as well when Bagyon Lektra warned Alexandra in the end。To wrap it all up， this is a much better collection compared to the first one。 There is enough build-up for every story and I thoroughly enjoyed the Philippine mythology infused in each of them！ As usual， the graphics and layout of the panels are stellar。 Trese really deserves the international attention brought by Netflix。 What a wonderful time to be a comic-loving Filipino！ 。。。more

The blurb sounds so interesting and I’m such a nerd for graphic novels， I had to get this one even though I haven’t read vol1 and I’m so unaware of the local folklore and myths that are a central theme of these stories。 My bad！ I feel like I wasn’t able to properly enjoy these stories because of this， but it was still fun what I was able to understand。 I kinda felt like the stories were told in a haphazard way and the focus was more on the gruesome graphics which were amazing by the way。 I would The blurb sounds so interesting and I’m such a nerd for graphic novels， I had to get this one even though I haven’t read vol1 and I’m so unaware of the local folklore and myths that are a central theme of these stories。 My bad！ I feel like I wasn’t able to properly enjoy these stories because of this， but it was still fun what I was able to understand。 I kinda felt like the stories were told in a haphazard way and the focus was more on the gruesome graphics which were amazing by the way。 I would have loved it ore if the graphics were colored but still， they were great and I kept staring at them for long， taking in all the details and just how cool they are。 I suppose if you have been following this from vol1 and are into Filipino folklores you’d love this one too！ 。。。more

Described as the “modern grandchild” of local Filipino horror Komiks， Trese features strange mystery cases that involve creatures of Philippine lower mythology。 Whenever the police find unfathomable occurrences around a crime scene， they call Alexandra Trese， a private detective with supernatural wit and psionic abilities capable of unravelling the strangest of cases。 This new edition of Trese Vol 2 features remastered artwork of the stories and bonus pages that highlight information on the crea Described as the “modern grandchild” of local Filipino horror Komiks， Trese features strange mystery cases that involve creatures of Philippine lower mythology。 Whenever the police find unfathomable occurrences around a crime scene， they call Alexandra Trese， a private detective with supernatural wit and psionic abilities capable of unravelling the strangest of cases。 This new edition of Trese Vol 2 features remastered artwork of the stories and bonus pages that highlight information on the creatures featured in the stories。I have long wanted to read Trese after reading the Thirteen Stations short story featured in Manila Noir， and this volume did not disappoint。 Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo’s take on traditional Philippine mythology against the backdrop of the Manila concrete jungle is one that should be applauded for。 Immersive and grounded both culturally and contemporarily， deep lore of the creatures such as the Duwende or Aswang is incorporated alongside the Philippine’s societal issues such as corruption， sensationalism， and underground illegal activity， presented in such a way that even rationalizes these issues in context of the mythology。 Overall， I enjoyed all four stories featured， especially A Little Known Murder in Studio 4 and The Association Dues of Livewell Village， which all had a light， standalone detective case format。 I also ended up learning more about Philippine mythology。 I’ve never heard of the Tiyanak， Laman Lupa， and Buhay na Bato before， and having those explained within the stories and with a dedicated page highlighting them was really helpful。 My only negative comments on the novel are that the stories were quite short， which does not allow the writers to bring much depth into the character narratives， like Alexandra Trese’s family history or the Kambal’s background stories， which were an unsatisfied curiosity I had while I was reading。Be sure to look out for Trese on Netflix this year， which is coming soon as the Philippines’ first ever anime series！Thank you to @netgalley and @ablazepub for an eARC copy of this graphic novel in exchange for an honest review 。。。more

I do so enjoy this series。 The atmosphere really did a lot with the whole zombie episode with the screeching of the undead。 I also like how there are cultures between all of the creatures in this part of the Philippines。 With a dragon appearing in one issue and none of the infographics， I was left wondering what else goes on。I just wish we could get to know the characters a little better other than their roles。

The series follows up on its promising debut with another quartet of supernatural mysteries set in the haunting/haunted streets of Manila， and it doesn't disappoint。 Episodic as it is， there's a red thread of pathos and tragedy running through the stories that imbues them with a world-weary appeal。 While these may be a step down from the initial volume plot-wise， they're still very much worth reading。 Eight stories so far and only one left me lukewarm at worst。I especially liked A Little-Known M The series follows up on its promising debut with another quartet of supernatural mysteries set in the haunting/haunted streets of Manila， and it doesn't disappoint。 Episodic as it is， there's a red thread of pathos and tragedy running through the stories that imbues them with a world-weary appeal。 While these may be a step down from the initial volume plot-wise， they're still very much worth reading。 Eight stories so far and only one left me lukewarm at worst。I especially liked A Little-Known Murder in Studio 4， which is about the wages paid by the twin stars of fame and resentment， and The Association Dues of Livewell Village， which investigates the lengths the denizens of an affluent village would go through to preserve their prerogatives。I think the book would benefit from a mythological bestiary of sorts， which would explore the lore and legends associated with the creatures featured in this book。 It would help those who have no/limited exposure to the fascinating world of Philippine monsters。 Nothing too fancy - a page or two would suffice。 The commentaries in the Trese blog would make a wonderful addendum too。I'm rating this 7/10 or 3 stars out of 5。 。。。more

Quality-wise， this is consistent with the first volume。 I just couldn't give it a four because of the conflict between my personal views and the underlying message of one of the stories， which I would rather not separate。Case 5: A Little Known Murder in Studio 4 - Very fun showbiz references！ Interesting take on fame， patronage， and the duwende myth。 I don't really have much commentary about it but this was a nice read。Case 6: The Outpost on Kalayaan Street - Not really a classic Philippine myth Quality-wise， this is consistent with the first volume。 I just couldn't give it a four because of the conflict between my personal views and the underlying message of one of the stories， which I would rather not separate。Case 5: A Little Known Murder in Studio 4 - Very fun showbiz references！ Interesting take on fame， patronage， and the duwende myth。 I don't really have much commentary about it but this was a nice read。Case 6: The Outpost on Kalayaan Street - Not really a classic Philippine mythology one （nice use of black magic to stay consistent with the theme though） but nevertheless， I love zombies。 （view spoiler）[Revenge-fueled again （hide spoiler）]， I don't mind because it's a classic motivation and it's very realistic but it can get old if not fleshed out， so I'm hoping future characters and storylines driven by the same thing， or in general actually， are more well-developed。Case 7: Embrace of the Unwanted - Spoiler alert！ Putting this here because I don't want to use the spoiler tag because this particular case knocked one whole ass star from my rating。 Started out promising， but ended up disappointing。 Art was amazing。 I found the character of Jeremy and the associated reference very entertaining。 What went wrong？ I am not a fan of the anti-abortion overtones。 The myth of the tiyanak is easy to associate with the issue of abortion （though it must be noted that of course the tiyanak myth encompasses not only aborted fetuses and in fact was originally about abandoned babies） and I found it cliche。 Also， the doctor made sense but I agree that she could have been more tasteful with regards to her waste disposal methods。 I was really hoping for this one to go a different direction。 So far， the cases have been unique in their way of translating Philippine folklore to the modern， urban setting and noteworthy in their portrayal of certain issues—so why now？Case 8: The Association Dues of Livewell Village - I love the title。 The reveal wasn't very creepy but still interesting and it made sense， you can't really expect everything to be creepy （just biased because I've read plenty of stories involving creepy townspeople）。 Makes you think about the morality of （view spoiler）[sacrificing one person for the benefit of a thousand others。 I can think of some situations where it would be justifiable， but in this case？ Of course not！ Stop murdering others for ritual sacrifice and live your lives mojo-less like the rest of us normal people， Livewell Village。 I have to agree with the thunder chief guy though， like why didn't Trese offer him the same respect she did the tikbalang chief？ It doesn't make sense。 She could have handled the situation with more tact and made less enemies， making everything less complicated （hide spoiler）]。 Then again， I guess it's something that drives the plot forward and to be fair， it's still pretty early in the story to judge; as an audience I'm sure there are a lot of things I don't know yet。Overall， I also find that the art is more detailed and I'm looking forward to the overarching storyline， which I believe will become more prominent in the upcoming volumes， as hinted in the last case。 I'm excited to see how this will be executed while maintaining the episodic nature （which has its own charm and set of advantages） of the series because it's fun to see how the little threads in different stories connect and intertwine into something bigger。 I'm hoping that with future developments the stories and characters will become more fleshed out and dimensional as well。 。。。more
