Florante at Laura[a] is an 1838 awit written by Tagalog poet Francisco Balagtas. The story was dedicated to his former sweetheart María Asunción Rivera, whom he nicknamed "M.A.R." and Selya in Kay Selya ("For Celia").[2][3][4]
The story is loosely based on Balagtas' own biography. He wrote the epic during his imprisonment in Manila in c. 1835 – c. 1836.[5]
