520			_aMadaling Araw was written by in 1909 by Regalado when he 18 years old. Madaling Araw is a complex and expansive novel that tackled issues that were personal to the author, as well as socio-political topics. In Madaling Araw, Regalado used the use of meanings or definitions to suppress the ills of Philippine society. Beyond the romantic theme, Madaling Araw embarked upon the topics of poverty and other socio-economic conditions in the Philippines. Juan Galit (the name literally means "John [the] Angry") became the representation of the avenger for the poor and bringer of justice. The poor had been exploited by Kabesang Leon, by an uncle of Mauro, and by other foreign capitalists residing in the country. At the end of Madaling Araw, Galit is seen as an advocate of bloodshed and a preacher of anarchy, emphasizing to the Filipino people that bloodshed is important in the struggle for justice, because it was the only way for society to be able to cleanse and then reestablish itself. This also emphasized that anarchy was a tool that can overthrow the ills of society. Galit's assassination of Kabesang Leon symbolized the eradication of Filipinos who collaborated with the Americans, one of the perceived causes of the suffering of the poor in the Philippines. Kabesang Leon was the personification of evil that represented the Filipino collaborators who tried to subjugate the lower class in Philippine society--cataloger's summary based on cover and various websites.
