    contributions
    What is Guardia de Honor?
    One of his earlier short stories, Guardia de Honor, is a
    Filipino writer’s take on an attempt to change the
    uncertain future.
    Guardia de Honor by Nick Joaquin shows us how truth
    will haunt us no matter how we try to make ourselves
    believe we are on the side of truth.
    Contributions
    What is The Summer Solstice?
    One of Nick Joaquin’s amazing works is the mind-twisting story entitled The Summer
    Solstice which was set in the colonial era and happened during 1850s Philippines during
    the festival days of St. John. It's about a women overrule the society, knowing that males
    were known to have the rights over women during the Spanish colonization period. The
    Summer Solstice by shows the unequal treatment between man and woman.
    A Portrait Of The Artist
    A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino was described as Joaquin's “most popular play," as the
    "most important Filipino play in English." This was about the story abounds in critical

    Filipino as divided being and struggling in his hybrid soul, art for art's sake, and the
    concept of national identity.
