He won a prize in a poetry contest sponsored by the Institute of National Language. He has published two volumes of poetry. In “Apocalypse in Ward 19” the tension “lies in the conflict between the poet-artist against the man-sufferer. A prolific writer in Pilipino, English and Spanish. Perhaps, no other writer can match the number of plaques and awards he has received since he started joining literary contest – the Free Press , Palanca, Graphic, the Institute of National Language’s Timpala Balagtas, etc. This year, he intends to participate in a contest in Spain.
