6. Nick Joaquin
He is one of the most renowned, well-respected, and highly admired writer in the Philippines. In fact he was considered as the most important Filipino writer in English and in general the third most important after Jose Rizal and Claro M. Recto. Nick Joaquin, also known by his pen name Quijano de Manila, was a writer, historian, and journalist who used the English language in his works. He received so many awards and recognition both local and international due to his brilliance in writing. As a journalist he was both intellectual and provocative—which pave the way to increase the level of reportage in the country—something that is unknown to the Philippines at that time. In 1976, he received the National Artist of the Philippines for Literature, among any others.
