I was researching some info for my Filipino project when I saw this text in the Wikipedia article on You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.:

De la Cruz was one of the three poets whose names are prominent for the use of "Corrido", a type/style of poem, in the history of Literature. The other two are Francisco Balagtas, his student, and Ananias Zorilla

This confused me since I have never heard of a trio of poets prominent in the use of the Corrido style, and although I knew Balagtas, I have never heard of the name Ananias Zorilla. When I searched for his name, few results came up, but apparently he was known for the works: "Dama Ines" and "Prinsipe Florinio". I did a little more digging, and I think why these works were attributed to him is because of this You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

I also found this old Blogspot page, which is the best amount of info I could find on Zorillia. It states:

Walang maraming tala na naiwan tungkol kay Zorilla. May nagsasabing siya’y taga-Laguna; may nagsasabing siya’y taga-Tondo. Ang natitiyak ay mga akda niya ang Dama Ines at Prinsipe Florinio

The works "Dama Ines" and "Prinsipe Florinio" are also confusing because I did some research, and the full title of Dama Ines is:

Ang kahabag-habag na buhay nang dama Ines sa kahariang Portugal, alila nang isang princesa sa bayang España mulang pagka bata

For Prinsipe Florinio, it is actually written by a person named N. Ponte in Hiligaynon, not Tagalog, titled:

Cabuhi sang africanhon ng̃a si Principe Florinio ng̃a anac ni Hareng Olfredo cag ni Reina Emilia
