Autorenporträt

Servando de los Angeles (1885–1972) studied at the Ateneo de Municipal de Manila and Liceo de Manila where he graduated with a degree in pharmacy. Early in his career, he joined the ranks of committed journalists actively involved in socio-political issues in the first two decades of the American period. He wrote for newspapers such as ‘La Patria’, ‘Watawat’, and ‘Kalayaan’. A staunch defender of culture then under threat in the massive social engineering, he demonstrated a fierce love of the values inherited from the past in zarzuelas such as ‘Ang Kiri’, ‘Bituing Marikit’, ‘Alamat ng Nayon’, and ‘Ararong Ginto’. Gaining wide popularity, the zarzuelas assured his place in the history of Philippine theater. Soledad S.
