Achievements

Brillantes is the author of "80 Años del Premio Zobel" (80 Years of the Zobel Prize), a compilation of Spanish literature written by Filipinos. Brillantes, who is herself a Zobel Prize winner in 1998, authored the book to reflect the golden age of Philippine literature written in the Spanish language. The tome practically retells the history of modern Filipino literature in Spanish, the history of the Spanish language in the Philippines, and the story of the Zobel Family, particularly Don Enrique Zobel. Don Enrique Zobel founded the Premio Zobel in 1920 in order to promote and maintain the Spanish language in the country. Lourdes Brillantes's book also contains novels, short stories, poetry and scripts for plays as well as brief biographies of previous winners of the Premio Zobel. The publication of "80 Años del Premio Zobel" became possible through the efforts of the Spanish Embassy in the Philippines; the former Spanish ambassador to the Philippines, Delfín Colomé; the Instituto Cervantes, the Fundacion Santiago,and the Agencia Española de Cooperación International (AECI). Brillantes was also a European languages professor at the University of the Philippines and was a contributor to the "Cronica" of The Manila Chronicle.
