The Hiligaynon Novelists
and the Translation of Hiligaynon
Novels (Excerpts) into English
This is the third translation volume for the Hiligaynon Literature anthology under the
Literary History of the Philippines (LIHIP) project of the Department of Literature. While
the first two translation collections focus on Hiligaynon binalaybay (poetry) and sugilanon
(short story), respectively, this volume features two major Hiligaynon novelists, Ramon
Muzones of Iloilo and Lino Moles of Negros.

A Gender-based Analysis of Performance
of Small and Medium Printing Firms
in Metro Manila
Increasing the participation of women in entrepreneurship is critical to a countrys long term economic growth. This conclusion
was drawn from the ground-breaking research conducted worldwide by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM, 2000). To support
women currently in business and encourage more women to start their own businesses, there is a need to expand baseline information
about female entrepreneurs. This study, therefore, attempts to answer some of the questions raised about women and their businesses.
