Officially, multi-awarded fictionist and playwright Estrella Alfon’s literary career began with the Philippines Graphic. Born in Cebu City in 1917, Alfon’s first short story, “Grey Confetti,” was published in 1935. Over the years, she published 17 of her stories in Magnificence and Other Stories (Manila: Regal Printing Company, 1960).
