An Anthology Of Winning Works (1980s)

Through the Carlos Palanca Foundation's annual awards, it has been one of the most important supporters of Philippine literature. Beginning with the Short Story category in both English and Filipino, the awards have since elicited an overwhelming response from the country's talented writers. Thus the Foundation has added new categories: Essay, Poetry, Novel, One-Act Play, Full-length Play, Teleplay, Screenplay, Short Story for Children, and, in 1997, the Ilocano, Cebuano, and Hiligaynon Short Stories.

In these volumes of selected winning literary works, the Foundation makes a toast to the brilliance of the Filipino writer -- as proof of our literature and people's immortality, and the Foundation's commitment to the development of both.
