The Bibliophile Stalker and Philippine Genre Stories have posted a tentative list of stories for the upcoming Philippine Speculative Fiction V anthology, along with the short list. Over at PGS, Kyu gives an explanation:
I received an email from Kestrel DDM, the publisher of the Philippine Speculative Fiction anthologies. The email contained the following: the tentative Table of Contents for PSFV, as well as the shortlist (which are the stories the editors wish could be printed but can’t take in for lack of space). Some of the shortlisted tales can still make it into the TOC if any of the originally accepted stories has to be pulled out for whatever reason…
