ANI 36: Disaster and Survival

ANI, the annual literary journal of the Literary Arts Division of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, releases its 36th edition with the theme "Disaster and Survival". The journal features poems, short stories and essays in English, Filipino and other Philippine languages.

Calamities and disasters that recently plagued the country recently tested the Filipino's faith, resilient character and "bayanihan" spirit. In this issue ANI 36 focuses on this positivism, as a way of keeping up, and in celebration and promotion of these values.

About | Santiago Villafania

Santiago Villafania is a bilingual Filipino poet who writes in English and in his native language of Pangasinan. Born in Tuliao, Sta.
