But then towards the middle half of the collection, he had some poems with homosexual references and so I thought that the first ones were insincere. I thought it was a deception since being gay might turn off some of the readers. He did not reveal that the start what the poems were about homosexual love.
I did not like it because I thought I was fooled. The first book by Remoto that I read was his collection of poetry, Pulotgata: The Love Poems (1 star). He has published books (poetry, collections, anthologies, etc) but this is his first novel. Remoto is currently the producer and host of a top-rating, daily radio show called "Remoto Control" simulcast live on television, reaching millions of Filipinos every night. My second time to read a work by Representative Danton Remoto of the Ladlad Partylist that represents the marginalized LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) communities in the Philippines. More importantly, he has co-edited the Ladlad series with J. He edited Buena Vista, 1989 and co-ed., Gems in Philippine Literature, 1989. He has won various awards, among them, the ASEAN prize for the essay, 1979 the Palanca for the essay in 1987 the CCP literary award for poetry the Stirling District Arts Council award for poetry and the short story.Īmong his works: Skin, Voices, Faces, Anvil, 1991 Black Silk Pajamas / Poems in English and Filipino, Anvil, 1996. He was an associate of PLAC and a member of the Manila Critics Circle since 1989. Remoto teaches at AdMU where he manages the Office of Research and Publishing. He was at Hawthornden Castle, 1993, and later, at the Cambridge Seminar.
He was a Local fellow for poetry at the UP Creative Writing Center, 1994. With his Robert Southwell scholarship, Remoto obtained his MA English Lit., 1989 then, on a British Council fellowship, another MA in publishing studies, 1990, at the University of Stirling, Scotland. He was an ASEAN scholar at the AdMU where he obtained his AB Interdisciplinary Studies in 1983. Danton Remoto was born on 25 March 1963 in Basa Air Base, Pampanga.
