Early life[edit]
Quijano was born in Alcantara, Cebu, Philippines on April 27, 1908.[1] She was the eldest of the nine children of Aglipayan bishop and Cebuano writer Juan Quijano and Segundina Gador and attended schools in Cebu, Lanao, Manila and Oroquieta in Misamis Occidental. Former Misamis Occidental governor Gedeon Quijano was her brother.[2] She became a college teacher and a dentist, whereby people call her the nickname 'Doktor or Dok Garding'. She settled in Oroquieta for most of her life and remained unmarried.[3]
Writing[edit]
Quijano was the first feminist fictionist in Cebuano literature[4] and one of the early pre-war short story writers.[5] She had written two novels and over 150 stories and wrote for periodicals The Freeman,[3]Nasod (Nation), Babaye (Woman) and Bag-ong Kusog (New Force) and other publications before and after World War II.[1] In addition, she used the pen names Flora Burgos and Gerardo Largavista,[3] and was a poet, literary critic, essayist, translator and columnist.[4] She won literary prizes for the short stories Maayong Ngalan (Noble Name) and Ang Asawa nga Dala sa Akong Uyoan (literal translation: The Wife that My Uncle Brought Home).[3] She also led the Misamis chapter of the Cebuano writers group LUDABI (Lubas sa Dagang Binisaya),[2] serving as its president from the late 1960s to 1970s, and initiated the first literary workshops in that part of the country, giving lectures on writing fiction and non-fiction.[4]
Feminism[edit]
Animal Shelters Near Me
Feminist themes were prevalent in her writing particularly on women's concerns and domestic problems,[6] advocating for education for women during the time when many girls did not go to school. In particular in her novel, Lourdes, the first feminist novel written in Cebuano language[7] and which was serialized in Vicente Rama's prewar Cebuano newspaper Bag-ong Kusog from August to September 1939, spoke about women's right of suffrage[3] and discussed themes on male-oriented discourse, child labor, and social contract inherent in utang na loob (debt of gratitude).[8]
Being a single woman was also a theme explored in her published short story, Ang Babaye ug ang Panimalay (The Woman and the Household), which was printed in 1931. Critic Hope Yu commented that for Quijano, 'Being unmarried is central to marriage, family and community if the woman's autonomy provides her with the necessary space to do excellent work.'[9]
Gawad CCP Para sa Sining[edit]
She was awarded the Gawad CCP Para sa Sining: Panitikang Rehiyunal (CCP Awards for the Arts for Regional Literature) from the Cultural Center of the Philippines in 1993.[2] Part of the recognition read, 'With numerous works in various genres published over a span of several decades, she is an enduring pillar of Philippine literature... Over the years she has been hailed as a feminist writer whose political beliefs and creative works inspired other women writers to follow the path she had blazed.'[4]
Death[edit]
Quijano died on May 3, 2003.[2] Her short stories are included in an anthology, Nabanhaw nga Himaya (Reawakened Bliss) translated into English by Hope Sabanpan Yu of University of San Carlos' Cebuano Studies Center and Haidee Emmie Palapar of Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc.[3]

The “Patubig sa Barangay,Kahimsog sa Panimalay” Project was launched last November 4, 2011 during the115th Birth Anniversay Celebration of the late Carlos P.Garcia.The materials for this project, suchas the jetmatic pumps and the plastic pipes were blessed by then Deacon JersonJustiniane.
This project stemmed from theinitiative of the Mayor of Talibon, Restituto B. Auxtero in line with theNutrition Program. He knows that “Wateris Life” and without water, proper nutrition cannot be achieved.
And so he came up with thethought of providing hand pumps in the 25 barangays of the municipality so thatthe families can easily avail of clean and uncontaminated water. Present open wells are not hygienic.
With this in mind, the Mayorshared his plans with the Barangay Captains during their ABC meeting whichconvened every 1st Friday of the month.
What was agreed upon……
1) Each Barangay Captain is to identify thefamilies that need most the pumps and to group them into not less than 5households per one (1) unit of jetmatic pump assembly.
2) That there should be an existing operationalwell in the vicinity of each cluster.
3) The LGU-Talibon will provide the jetmaticpumps plus assembly but the installation of the units be shouldered by therecipients as counterpart.
4) The household users shall be organized andrequired to submit approved management plan for sustainability.
5) Project duration is from September toDecember 2011.
With the submission of the list of recipients by the BarangayCaptains, the following jetmatic pumps were distributed to the requestingparties concerned:
