La Tondea, sponsors of the venerable Carlos
Palanca Memorial Awards in Literature, has
made the name Palanca a synonym for
quality literary works in both English and
Filipino.
The National Commission for Culture and the
Arts (NCAA) was created by law in 1992. It
has a Committee on Literary Arts which funds
workshops, conferences, publications and a
variety of projects geared towards the
production of a national literature. The
committee has the aim of developing writing
that is multi-lingual, multi-cultural, and truly
national.
Non-governmental organizations have helped
hand in hand with some institutions in giving
recognition to writers from specific sectors in
the society. These NGO's includes the Amado
V. Hernandez Foundation; the GAPAS
foundation, and the KAIBIGAN.
Campus publications are another group of
outlet that is of importance as a source of
non-traditional, experimental writing. These
campus publications could either be a weekly
student newspapers, quarterly magazines, or
annual literary journals.
Overall, the character of the Philippine
literary scene after "EDSA" maybe pinpointed
be referring to the theories that inform
literary production, to the products issuing
from the publishers, to the dominant concerns
demonstrated by the writers' output, and to
the direction towards which literary studies
are tending.
