Pulitzer

Esteemed colleagues, professors, mentors, avid readers, to the well distinguished writers of our generation, to the Pulitzer Committee and the Columbia University, to the Literary World, to my countrymen, a pleasant day to you all.

A man's work, that in which he takes pride in, is a product of his passion, of his soul. To be given the Pulitzer Prize for my book, Noli Me Tangere, to be given such honor and recognition, I am left vulnerable in the arms of deep gratitude as my passion goes not unnoticed and my soul evidently seen.
