Editor's Note:
Here are seventeen of the best short stories in English over the first six years of the NVM Gonzalez Awards (2000 to 2005), among the, Menchu Aquino Sarmiento's "Good Intentions 101: SY'72-'73," Charlson ONgs "Days of Darkness, White Nights," Socorro A. Villanueva's "We Won't Cry about This," Janet Baclayon Villa's "Undercurrents," Angelo R. Lacuesta's "Rest Stop," and Alexis Abola's "At the Ends of the Hyphen." All these stories are, says Gregorio C. Brillantes in his splendid preface, "astonishingly varied in vision, voic, mode, manner and consummation, ...each a vivid dream sustained by language; every one a shining performance." All are eminently worth of N.V.M. Gonzalez who the Awards hornor and memorialize because all "display" as Brillantes says, "the munificent range of the Filipino imagination, its manifold secrets, discoveries, and conglomerations."
