On Nick Joaquin, playwright-publisher Alberto S. Florentino opines: ".... writing under the pseudonym Quijano de Manila, he turned out brillant journalistic essays or accounts that at times tremble on the brink of literature - and of poetry. Alberto Florentino was 23 when, as an accounting student at the University of the East, he won a Palanca award for his play, "The World is an Apple." This success at his first serious attempt at playwriting made him abandon his accounting studies to become a writer. He has since written more than 50 plays for stage and more than 100 for television, besides having published seven collections of his own plays and more than 70 titles by other Filipino authors. He is today considered one of the foremost Filipino playwrights in English.
