Froilan Medina. Palanca Award-winning Writer.

Introduced to literature at a young age by his father, and mentored by numerous national artists and playwrights including NVM Gonzalez and Rene Villanueva, Froilan emerged as an award-winning writer. His story Wala sa Sarili won third prize in the 1993 Palanca Awards’ category for Short Story (Filipino), and his screenplays for the films Boses, Kid Kulafu, and Thelma have earned him accolades as a writer for feature and documentary films.

Froilan envisions a Philippine nation that is progressive and tolerant, culturally and materially rich, and offers a promise of hope for all those fighting daunting problems and facing impossible odds.
