We join the friends and associates of the respected and multi-awarded writer and editor, Kerima Polotan Tuvera, in prayers on her passing two days ago at the age of 85. Considered one of the best writers the country ever produced, she was the former editor-in-chief of Focus Philippines, a weekly magazine and the afternoon daily, Evening Post. One of her best known novels, Hand of the Enemy, earned plaudits in the international literary world. She will be best remembered not only as a writer par excellence but as a durable task master whose presence and patience helped start the careers of many of our writers today. She was married to another gifted writer, former Presidential Assistant Juan Tuvera by whom she had 10 children. Our condolences to the family.
Leaders of the Philippine Dragon Boat Federation (PDBF) headed by the fighting trio of chairman Nestor Ilagan, president Marcia Cristobal and head eoach Teresa Tario, as well as respected sports figures, former First Lady Amelita Ramos (badminton), former Sen. Nikki Coseteng (swimming), retired Col. Manuel Espejo (wrestling), Ed Tiu (body building), Yen Makabenta (billiards) and representatives from motocross and 10 other sports bodies, expressed extreme concern over the sad, sad plight of Philippine sports today.....
