The Women Writers in Media Now (Women) has announced “with great sadness the passing into eternal life of one of our own,” Sylvia L. Mayuga, at 8:30 a.m. on Dec. 31, 2019. A writer of note, Mayuga wrote occasional pieces for the Inquirer in the past few years. She joined the newly formed Women, composed mostly of feisty women writers, in the 1980s. ADVERTISEMENTAward-winning journalist Sheila S. Coronel’s blurb in Mayuga’s last book reads: “Reading Sylvia Mayuga is like taking a dive into the unknown. And only Sylvia Mayuga can pull it off.”Mayuga studied at St. Scholastica’s College and St. Theresa’s College in Manila.
