Biography
Juan Lauro Arsciwals was a Filipino writer who worked in Tagalog. The sources consulted for this page give no birth or death dates for him and no account of his life, so little can be said with confidence about his background or career.
The book credited to him here, Isa Pang Bayani, is a Tagalog-language work; its title means something like Another Hero. This page has no date or publisher for the edition, and readers who want those should check the book's own record.
One reference names him. The English Wikipedia article on Busabos ng Palad, a Tagalog novel written in 1909 by Faustino Aguilar, lists Juan Arsciwals among Filipino writers who took up the theme of women driven into prostitution. The article cites a literary critic who says Tagalog novels of this kind treated such women with compassion and condemned the institutions that made them so. That places him among the Tagalog writers of this subject, but it does not supply his dates or other facts about his life.
