Iñigo C. Regalado

Who was Iñigo C. Regalado?

Iñigo Corcuera Regalado was a Filipino poet, printer, journalist, editor, playwright, lyricist, and songwriter of Tagalog descent. He used the pen name Odalager or Odalaguer, Igini, and Gaolerad, another pseudonym derived from the letters of Regalado's surname.

According to J.C. Balmaceda in his Ang Tatlong Panahon ng Tulang Tagalog, Regalado was "one of the later 19th century poets who broke from the traditional forms of the metrical romance and the church verse in order to forge a new trail in Tagalog poetry."
