Amando Doronila

Essay in English

Sa kaniyang matalisik na pag-uulat sa mga politiko-historikong pangyayari sa Filipinas, Asya at daigdig; at agarang pagsusuri sa mga ito sa paraang may lawak at lalim na hindi mapapasubaliang gumagagap sa kabuluhan ng mga ito sa pang-araw-araw na buhay ng mga mamamayan sa loob ng kalahating siglo. Itinampok niya ang independensiya ng kaisipang etikal na nararapat panatilihin ng diyarista at manunulat sa panahong kailangang-kailangan ito sa harap ng makasarili at mapanirang ng interes ng mga dayuhan at ng nasa kapangyarihan. Tunay na nagsilbi ang panulat niya sa kapakanan ng Filipino at sa makabansang hangarin ng sariling bayan at mga kalapit na bansa.

For his consistently percipient reporting on and ready analyses of politico-historical events in the Philippines, Asia, and the world, whose breadth and depth of insight and relevance which he brought before the public's daily consciousness for the past half-century cannot be denied or diminished. He has always demonstrated an independent and ethical mind, which journalists and writers in general are called upon to emulate and sustain during a time of intervention from foreign interests and from those in power. Truly his writing has served the interest of the Filipino, as well as his country's nationalist aspirations and those of its regional neighbors.

Gawad Paz Marquez Benitez

Thelma B. Kintanar

Higit na naging bukas sa femenistang pananaw-sa-daigidig ang mga kabataang mag-aaral at iskolar nang sumailalim sa mapagmahal niyang gabay, gamit ang malalim at malawak na pag-unawa sa halaga ng literatura bilang instrumento ng pangkamalayang pagbabago at kalahatang pagpapakatao; na lalo pang nagiging matimbang sa larangang pangkultura sapagkat dumudukal ng yaman sa karanasang Filipino at higit pa sa kabihasnang Asyano, patunay ng kaniyang hindi matatawaran at kahanga-hangang talino bilang pantas at guro ng literatura.

Under her nurturing guidance and tutelage, and using a broad and deep understanding of literature as an instrument of change in consciousness as much as in one's humanity, she opened young and scholarly minds to the feminist world view, which is all the more meaningful in the field of culture as it plumbs the wealth of Filipino experience, and even more, that of Asian civilization. All these speak of her invaluable and awesome learning and talent as a woman of letters and teacher of literature.

Gawad Pedro Bucaneg

Linangan sa Imahen, Retorika, at Anyo (LIRA)

Sa loob ng sangkapat na siglo, naging maningning na patunay ang LIRA sa halaga ng pamamatnubay ng sining ng katutubong pagtula sa pag-unlad ng hanay ng modernong makatang Filipino; naging huwarang pandayan sa estetikang Filipino na maaasahang gabay sa masalimuot na pag-unlad ng poetikong kamalayan ng sumisibol na kabataang manunulat na nabigyan ng pagkakataong umunlad ng LIRA sa walang humpay na pagtataguyod ng mga palihan at ng pagbabahagi ng kaalaman sa talinghaga at marubdob na pagmamahal sa tula.

During the last quarter of a century, LIRA has given, and become, tangible proof to the importance of mentoring and guidance using native poetics in developing young Filipino poets. It has become a model workshop for forming Filipino esthetics, which will provide dependable guideposts in the complex development of poetic consciousness among the young writers whom LIRA afforded the opportunity for growth through continuous support, intensive discussion and workshop of works, and the sharing of the knowledge of metaphor and love for poetry.
