Fausta Cortes

Very little biographical information about this author could be confirmed from reliable online sources consulted here. What can be verified is that Fausta Cortes is credited as the author of Agawan ng Dangal, a Tagalog work that is available through Project Gutenberg and library catalogs.

Catalog records and related listings indicate that Agawan ng Dangal was published in 1914, suggesting that Cortes belonged to the early 20th-century period of Tagalog print culture. Because solid personal details such as birth dates, hometown, or later career were not clearly confirmed, it is best to describe her simply as a Filipino author associated with early Tagalog fiction.

Her lasting presence today comes mainly from the preservation of her work in digital archives, where modern readers can still encounter Agawan ng Dangal as part of the record of Philippine literary history.
