If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of books). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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.
