A reluctant and accidental hero. "He is supot. Scared, he ran away from the ritual of manhood. He ran away again from his foxhole in Bataan when the Japanese were closing in. And through much of his life even when he had become comfortable, he still ran away, haunted by the poverty of his boyhood, of the treachery that he may have committed. This is Benjamin Singkol -- perhaps the most interesting character ever created by F. Sionil Jose. After World War II, Sionil Jose enrolled at the University of Santo Tomas and came under the wing of Paz Latorena, one of the country's foremost writers and literature teachers and the Dominican writer, Juan Labrador. He worked in journalism and developed his distinctly direct narrative style. Sionil Jose is best known for his epic work, the Rosales saga -- five novels which encompass a hundred years of Philippine history, from 1872 when the three Filipino priests -- Gomez, Burgos, and Zamora were martyred, to 1972 when Marcos declared Martial Law.
