Google doodle pays tribute to Pinay author

Google alters its logo anew to pay tribute to the first recipient of the Palanca Award for short Story in Filipino, Genoveva Edroza-Matute.

The Filipino author won the prestigious literary award for "Kwento ni Mabuti" in 1951.

She finished a Bachelor of Secondary Education degree major in English, a master's and a doctorate degree as well.

Edroza-Matute, according to an article published by The Varsitarian, the official newsletter of UST, was known to many as "Aling Bebang."

She received other awards, such as the Gawad Cultural Center of the Philippines para sa Sining (Panitikan), Republic Literary Awards ng National Commission for Culture and the Arts, and the Lifetime Achievement Award para sa Panitikan that was conferred on her by former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. — BAP, GMA News
