Ang Huling Pagluha ("The Final Shedding of Tears") was the first novel of Filipino novelist Iñigo Ed.
[3] Regalado’s 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 obstacles in the love story of Berto and Florandi included the opinions of other people about them.
Based on traditional Filipino culture and values, the loss of virginity before marriage is unacceptable, particularly to the male lover.
