THE recognition accorded to Hernando R. Ocampo, Francisco Arecellana and N.V.M. Gonzalez as National Artists brings to mind the group of young writers who flared like meteors across the Philippine literary sky during the third decade of the 20th century. Some, like Arcellana and Gonzalez, were to blaze much longer and brighter in the firmament than the rest. Others, like Delfin Fresnosa, would eventually fade quietly into oblivion.
