Lualhati Bautista: Biography
Filipino author, liberal activist, and political critic Lualhati Torres Bautista. Esteban Bautista and Gloria Torres welcomed Bautista into the world on December 2, 1945, in Tondo, Manila, Philippines.
In 1958, she completed her elementary education, and in 1962, she completed her high school education at Torres. At the Lyceum of the Philippines, she was a journalism student, but she left because she always wanted to be a writer and academics were taking too much time.
Her writing career began when Liwayway Magazine published “Katugon ng Damdamin,” her debut short story. Despite having no formal training, Bautista rose to prominence as a writer for her brave investigation of Philippine women’s issues, candid realism, and captivating female heroines who deal with adversity at home and work with exceptional grit and strength.

For her novels “GAP,” “Dekada ’70,” and “Bata, Bata… Pa’no Ka Ginawa?” which revealed abuses and documented women’s movement during the Marcos administration, Bautista won multiple Palanca Awards (1980, 1983, and 1984).
The 1988 publication of “GAP,” which won the main prize at the 1980 Palanca Awards, tells the tale of a man adjusting to life as an Amerasian.
It offers a multifaceted examination of the politics underlying US bases in the Philippines as seen from the perspective of common Olongapo City residents.
The narrative of a family caught in the turbulent decade of the 1970s is told in Dekada ’70. It explains how a family from the middle class struggled to adjust to the changes that gave Filipinos the ability to overthrow the Marcos regime.
These incidents took place following the Plaza Miranda bombing, the suspension of the right to petition the court, the declaration of martial law, and the arbitrary detention of political prisoners.
The female lead, Amanda Bartolome, a mother of five boys, observed the decade’s molding as well as the harsh nature of the Marcos government, which led to the people becoming more radical.
Literally, Bata, Bata… Pa’no Ka Ginawa “Baby, Baby… How Did You Get Made? “Lea, a working mother and social activist with two children, tells the story of her life in the book.
In the end, all three must deal with how Philippine culture views single mothers, especially Lea. The story explores the issues of what it means to be a mother and how a mother fulfills this job using contemporary ideas of motherhood.
In Sisterhood, written by Bautista in 2013, was nominated for the 2014 Filipino Readers’ Choice Award for Fiction in Filipino/Taglish by the Filipino Book Bloggers Group.
In 2015, Bautista published the book Sixty in the City, which is the story of three friends named Guia, Roda, and Menang who are in their mid-60s and realize that being a wife, mother, and housewife is a good life.
