Latorena (January 17, 1908 – October 19, 1953), one of the foremost writers of the first generation of Filipino English writers, in both literary writing and education was a poet, editor, author, and teacher. Early yearsPaz Manguera Latorena, the oldest among the ten children of Magda Manguera and Ricardo Latorena, was born on Jan. 17, 1908 in Boac, Marinduque. She finished basic schooling at St. Scholastica’s College in Manila and the Manila South High School (As the Araullo High School). In 1926, she took up Education at the University of the Philippines (UP) in Manila where she also attended a short story writing class under a key figure in Filipino literature in English, Paz Marquez Benitez of “Dead Stars” fame. In 1927, Latorena received an invitation from Benitez to write a column for the Philippines Herald Magazine, of which Benitez was the literary editor. That same year, Latorena, along with other campus writers, founded the UP Writers’ Club. The Literary Apprentice, the UP Writers’ Club’s publication, then ran a short story by Latorena, “A Christmas Tale.” Latorena also wrote poetry under the pseudonym, Mina Lys, which, according to Tanlayco, had a “romantic significance,” for the then young writer. Before the year ended, the Marinduque native won the third prize in Jose Garcia Villa’s Roll of Honor for the Best Stories of 1927 for her story, “The Small Key.” For her final year of college in 1927, Latorena transferred to UST to finish her Education degree. She became the literary editor of the Varsitarian and published her poems, “Insight” and “My Last Song,” under her nom de plume Mina Lys She shortly earned her master’s and doctorate degree while teaching literature courses in UST. In 1934, her doctoral dissertation, “Philippine Literature in English: Old Voices and New,” received the highest rating of sobresaliente. Latorena’s former students are now giants in Philippine letters: F. Sionil Jose, Nita Umali, Genoveva Edroza Matute, Zeneida Amador, Ophelia Dimalanta and Alice Colet-Villadolid, to name a few.[1] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.varsitarian.net/literary/ust_pays_homage_to_paz_latorena_lady_of_letters_and_beloved_mentor |title=UST pays homage to Paz Latorena, lady of letters and beloved mentor |publisher=The Varsitarian |date=2009-03-09 |accessdate=2012-09-16}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Latorena, Paz}} 13 : 1908 births|1953 deaths|People from Marinduque|Filipino women poets|Filipino women short story writers|20th-century Filipino poets|University of the Philippines Manila alumni|University of Santo Tomas alumni|Filipino educators|20th-century short story writers|20th-century Filipino women writers|21st-century Filipino educators|20th-century Filipino poets |
