Vicente Gullas

Vicente Arandia Gullas (January 12, 1888 – December 22, 1970) was a Filipino writer, lawyer, and educator from Cebu, Philippines.

As a writer, he published three editions of the English-Cebuano-Spanish dictionary, wrote poems that were printed in the Cebuano periodical, Ang Suga, and published the 1938 historical fiction, Lapu-lapu: Ang Nagbuntog Kang Magellan (Lapu-lapu: The Conqueror of Magellan), which was republished in 2007.

[3] His brother, Paulino Gullas, was the first Cebuano to top the bar exams[4] who perished during World War II.

[5] His parents were of modest means, and he worked to pay for his high school studies such as getting employed as a clerk and checker on shipping vessels operating in Cebu City.

[9] The book was relaunched on March 12, 2007,[10] with introduction and annotation by Resil Mojares and English translation by Erlinda K. Alburo.
