"Six PM" is a short story written by the Filipino writer Nick Joaquin. The story is set in the Philippines during the early 20th century and tells the tale of a woman named Doña Lupeng who is struggling with the aftermath of a failed marriage.
The story begins with Doña Lupeng sitting in her bedroom, surrounded by the remnants of her former life. She is described as being "tired and listless," and the room is described as being "dim and quiet." As she sits and reflects on her past, she begins to remember the events that led her to this point in her life.
Doña Lupeng's marriage had been arranged by her parents, and she had always been obedient to their wishes. However, as she got older and began to experience more of life, she began to realize that her husband was not the man she had thought he was. He was cruel and selfish, and Doña Lupeng found herself unhappy and isolated in her marriage.
Despite her feelings of unhappiness, Doña Lupeng remained obedient to her husband and continued to try to make their marriage work. However, her husband's cruelty eventually became too much for her to bear, and she decided to leave him. This was a bold and brave move for a woman in the early 20th century, and it came with significant consequences.
After leaving her husband, Doña Lupeng found herself alone and isolated in a world that did not understand or support her. She was shunned by society and struggled to find a place in the world. As she sat in her bedroom, she reflected on the sacrifices she had made and the pain that she had endured in the hopes of finding happiness.
In the end, "Six PM" is a poignant and powerful story about the struggles of a woman who dared to defy societal norms and pursue her own happiness. It is a reminder of the strength and resilience of the human spirit and the importance of standing up for oneself, even in the face of great adversity.
NICK JOAQUIN: Poetry
Twenty-two years after The Woman Who Had Two Navels, Joaquín came out with his second novel, Cave and Shadows 1983. Marcos, who had built on the fabled mountain site a National Arts Center, Joaquín delivered a speech in which he provocatively spoke of freedom and the artist. He also felt the award would give him leverage to ask Malacañang Palace to release from prison José F. He probably had little time to be too reflective. I take a place in the bus among people returning to love domesticated and the smell of onions burning and women reaping the washlines as the Angelus tolls. Few in his time played as effective a role in the public discourse on the national culture. Using the flashback device of a narrator who recalls the sad fate of a prewar family as he stands in the ruins of postwar Manila, the play sets itself not only in the divide of war but that of past and present in Philippine society.

The Woman Who Had Two Navels is a many-layered and less-than-perfect novel that teases out universal antinomies of truth and falsehood, illusion and reality, past and present, and locates them in the context of the Filipino search for identity.

My garden, my four walls and you project strange shores upon my yearning: Atlantis? The apes have ravished the inner temple, the peacocks rend the sacred veil and on the manna feast their fill— but chaliced drowsily in your ample arms, with its brief bliss that dies, my own deep sepulchre I seal. While his talent could be quite profligate, there was no mistaking the genuineness of his appetite for local life and drive to convert this to memorable form. Sionil José, and others , he was fondly spoken of as primus inter pares. A friend of General Emilio Aguinaldo, Leocadio was a popular lawyer in Manila and the Southern Tagalog provinces.

This independence had always been a signal virtue of his writing career. He had never been the hothouse artist, he declared, and had always felt there was no subject not worthy of his attention.

He took the post because, in large part, he loved the movies and practically did no cutting or banning of films, believing in the intelligence and good sense of moviegoers.
