Description: Malate Literary Folio is the official publication of the arts in De La Salle University-Manila. Malate. The word evokes images of a busy albeit congested metropolis teeming with a wide variety of uniform-ed drones, vendors of all sorts of 'fun things', and ‘PedXing’s—a far cry from the humble and oft-flooded fishing village of old whose potable water supply is said to have been polluted by a seasonal deluge from the nearby bay. The area now teems with a singular blend of foreigners (legal, illegal and cultural) and locals alike; many of whom draw inspiration from the water supply’s mix of toxic waste and its ability to stay clear and seemingly salmonella-free. For twenty-five years, the Malate Literary Folio has been publishing quality works by young Filipino writers and visual artists who could easily count themselves among those who call Malate home, literally or otherwise. Before its reinvention in 1984 by respected writers Efren Abueg and Jun Cruz Reyes, it had previously been known to the Lasallian community as the tri-lingual Horizon first established in 1960, and then later as the politically-driven Sulyap as it was renamed in the 1970s. By 1984, the publication became the Malate Literary Journal as it took on a more contextualized role, its writers using their immediate surroundings, conventions and ideas as a catalyst to creating new ones.
