ReplyDeleteHi. I'm Sabrina de Jesus, a Journalism major from UST. I'm currently working on a biographical thesis on Nick Joaquin and it would be of great help to be able to use your blog post on "FPJ: Batang Taquilla by Quijano de Manila" as one of my sources. If you don't mind, I would like to print/copy the images of the article. I assure you that I will take the images out with full acknowledgement. Thank you!
