recognized for his works and received numerous and exceptional achievements and
had significant contributions to the development of the country's literary art.

Baguio which again he graduated as Magna Cum Laude then Doctors of Arts in
Language and Literature in De La Salle University.
Through out his career, he has established a strong reputation for
fine and profound artistry. His works influences the generations of young
writers. Bautista have been holding funded and unfunded workshops for the young
writers.
For Bautista, classroom is an important
training ground for writers. After graduating, he entered the field of teaching
that made him a professor.
His poem "Oh how to find Silence in
the World"got my attention. He used code switching that I think other
Filipino poet doesn't do. This of poem of Bautista focuses on racial prejudice
and used Negros and White Americans as an example.
Bautista
continues to contribute to the development of Philippine Literature in many
ways; as a teacher, through his discovery and encouragement of young writers: as
a writer, through his works and a critic that provide insights to the
misconceptions about art.
