Naa nay ni-daog! More than ten years ago, I led a very strong writing group in Dumaguete called LitCritters Dumaguete. When it was still fairly active, we launched a bet: the first member to win a Palanca will get P500 from all the members [pero wala ko'y labot, hahaha]. We actually already have a literary winner in F Jordan Carnice, who won the Nick Joaquin Literary Prize for Poetry twice in a row, but ang sabot Palanca man. This year, Lyde Sison Villanueva finally wins that bet! Congratulations, Lyde! Maygani nagpatuo ka nako to send an entry this year! We are so proud of you.
