Friends, colleagues and former students gathered for a memorial in Makati recently, paying tribute to the wit, passion and delightful quirks of the late writer, author and mentor Norma O. Miraflor who wrote ‘30’ in Sydney 2 May.
Ms Miraflor, 69, succumbed to breast cancer at Mona Vale Hospital in Sydney’s northern suburbs, leaving behind her war historian-journalist-publisher husband Ian Ward, sisters Zenaida, Araceli and Yolanda, brother Demetrio Jr., in-laws, nephews, nieces, and her faithful assistant, Lot.
