The novel Benjamin or pronounced (Bén·ha·mín), is a significant piece of Philippine literature, as it is regarded as the first novel written in Hiligaynon. Written by Angel Merle Magahum Sr. in November 1894, and published in 1907 by La Panayana, it earned him the title "Ama ng Nobelang Ilonggo" (Father of the Ilongo Novel).
The novel combines elements of both an example and a chronicle, showcasing the social and cultural realities of its time. At the same time, it serves as a teaching tool, including moral lessons and guidelines for behavior within its story.[1]
The novel has been reprinted only a few times, with the latest edition published in 2023 by the University of the Philippines Press.
