Natalio Bacus Bacalso (December 1, 1908 – March 30, 1984) was a Filipino writer, newspaperman, radio broadcaster, filmmaker, Constitutional Convention delegate in 1971 representing Cebu's 2nd district, and opposition assemblyman to the Interim Batasang Pambansa in 1978.
[1][2] In 1947, Bacalso together with Vicente del Rosario was sued for libel filed separately by then Cebu municipal councilor Marcos Morelos and Mayor Dr. Luis Espina.

The popularity of his show and his talent for radio commentary undermined the Marcos' candidacy in Visayas and Mindanao[7] and prompted belated efforts to persuade him to switch loyalty back to the administration.
