The 283-page book version was published in 1933 in Manila, Philippines by the Bahay Aklatan "Ang Pagsilang" (Library House "The Birth") during the American era in Philippine history (1898-1946). 'Ang Huling Pagluha' was one of the novels Regalado had written during the Golden Age of the Tagalog Novel (1905-1935).
Description
Regalados 'Ang Huling Pagluha' is a love story and a romance novel set in the socio-political context in the Philippines during the time. According to literary critic Soledad Reyes, the socio-political context was deliberately blurred by the author, and that the attention in the narrative was angled to concentrate on the "ebb and flow" of the love affair. The main characters of the novel were the couple named Berto and Florandi. The romance began with love at first sight, then proceeded to the profession of endless love, and continued to the formalization of the relationship. The obstacles in the love story of Berto and Florandi included the opinions of other people about them. The hearsays included the allegation that Florandi was about the status of her virginity. Based on traditional Filipino culture and values, the loss of virginity before marriage is unacceptable, particularly to the male lover. The rumor about Florandis virginity ruined the relationship. Florandi suffered emotionally and died. Berto grieved at Florandis funeral.
