timeframes period of self-discovery and
growth by this time philippine writers
had acquired the mastery of english
right

wrote on a lot of subjects although the
also in flavors of love and youth
persistence they went into all forms of
writing like the novel and drama poetry

short story flourish during design and
in publications the philippine free
press provided the first incentives the
filipino writers in english by offering
