It boasts of such novelists as Ladislao Bella Subang, Fausto Galauran and Jose Santos. And top cartoonists like Mars Ravelo and Elpido Torres, who also became famous writers. The three 1948 issues of Bulaklak featured on the cover movies produced by the top three studios: Hindi Kita Malimot (Sampaguita), Tanikalang Papel (LVN) and Ako Raw Ay Huk (Premiere).
