Mt. Tumantangis & Other Poems on Sulu, written by Isnani,  and Silent Verses, written by Dias, are collections of poems which won two of the top three prizes in a poetry contest sponsored by the English Club (or Department?) of the University of the Philippines Diliman way back in 1978. Isnani and Dias were both pen names of Said K. Sadain, Jr.
