Francisco Icasiano was a Filipino author in the early 20th century about whom little is known biographically. He wrote a series of satirical essays in English for the Sunday Tribune Magazine called "From my Nipa Hut" that reflected on Filipino culture from the perspective of common people. These essays have been compiled into a book. Icasiano's parents were Francisca Bayan and Bonifacio Ycasiano, and he had six siblings. No full biography of Icasiano exists.

The Life of Francisco Icasiano

There is no specific biography written about Francisco Icasiano, nor did he write much about himself in
an autobiographical way. I cannot, therefore, point you towards a particular book or biography to read that will
give a great deal of information on the life of Francisco Icasiano. As this is the case, there is little that we know
about Francisco Icasiano and his life in general, although there is some information about his career.

Francisco Icasiano was a Filipino author who also went by the more extended name of Francisco "Mang Kiko"
Bayan Icasiano. Amongst his firstliterary works were a series of essays written in the Sunday Tribune
Magazine. The essays, written in English, were entitled 'From my Nipa Hut' and were satirical or comedic in
style and tried to reflect the culture of the common Tao people in the Philippines. The essays seemed to look at
the culture in the Philippines and, whilst comedic in style, presented opinion on what life was like in the
Philippines. These essays have subsequently been collated into a book entitled 'Horizons from my Nipa Hut'.

Other information surrounding the Filipino author is scarce but we do know the names of his
parents, Francisca Bayan and Bonifacio Ycasiano and we know that he was one of seven siblings born into the
family.
