Here's another addition to the Philippine Literature list of Filipino writers and illustrators: Dean Francis Alfar.
"Dean Francis Alfar is a five-time Palanca awardee, a contributor to the National Book Award-winning comic book anthology Isaw, Atbp., and was a fellow at the Silliman and U.P. creative writing workshops. His first internationally-published short story was chosen for inclusion in The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, edited by Ellen Datlow, Kelly Link, and Gavin Grant, and published by St. Martin's Press. He is a playwright, a fictionist, and a scriptwriter, but adamantly denies being a poet, despite having written some really quite decent verse." [more]
