Batbat Hi Udan is the first novel written by a Higaonon. It is also the first novel which is set in Bukidnon. It is written in Filipino but it also uses a significant number of Binukid words.
Batbat Hi Udan was first launched in Los Baños, Laguna last February 11, 2009. The event was attended by more than 100 guests from the academe and the Los Baños community. Batbat Hi Udan received a warm welcome during the event. UPLB Chancellor Rey Velasco even dubbed it to be the Filipino version of the Lord of the Rings!
The author of Batbat Hi Udan, T.S. Sungkit Jr., won the National Commission for Culture and the Arts Writers' Prize 2007 for his Cebuano novel Mga Gapnod sa Kamad-an.
