    • Peter Solis Nery is a Filipino poet, fictionist, author, and filmmaker. Writing
    in Hiligaynon, he is a Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature Hall of Fame
    Awardee, the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) Literary Grant, and the All-Western
    Visayas Literary Contest (National Commission for Culture and the Arts) winner. In
    2015, he became the first Filipino author to be invited to the Sharjah International Book
    Fair in the United Arab Emirates. Writing in English, Filipino, and Hiligaynon, he has
    authored at least 20 books, and had written award-winning screenplays. He wrote and
    edited newspapers in Iloilo City before becoming a nurse in the United States. After
    the EDSA Revolution of 1986, Peter found himself in a new wave of Philippine literature.
    There was a resurgence of interest in nationalistic writing. At U.P., Peter was lucky to
    meet Leoncio Deriada (2001 Palanca Hall of Fame awardee) who encouraged him to
    write in Hiligaynon. Peter won his first national award in writing for his poetry in
    Hiligaynon, Mga Ambahanon kag Pangamuyo sang Bata nga Nalimtan sa
    Wayang (Songs and Prayers of a Child Forgotten in the Fields)in 1992. For his
    performance poetry Si Eva, si Delilah, si Ruth, kag ang Alput (Eva, Delilah, Ruth, and
    the Prostitute) at the Premio Operiano Italia, he was named Hari sang Binalaybay (King
    of Hiligaynon Poetry) in 1993, a title he held until 1998. During his student activism days
    at the university, he wrote his first book, I Flew a Kite for Pepe, in 1993. He admits, “I
    cringe now at my boldness to call it poetry then but I always thought that the book had a
    big heart. I still cry when I read it.” It was followed by his earth song and hymn to the
    planet, First Few Notes of a Green Symphony.
