Hilda Montaire

Hilda Suico Montayre (born April 13, 1922) is a Filipino writer who often uses the pseudonym Rosa Montes.[1] She considers fellow Cebuana writer Maria Kabigon to be a major influence.

Born in Mandaue, Cebu City, Montayre studied at the Colegio de la Immaculada Concepcion in Cebu City, where she edited Blue and White, the CIC school paper, Far Eastern University and the University of Santo Tomas, Manila.

Montaire began writing at an early age. Her career took off after World War II when her short stories and serialized novels were published in Bisaya magazine. Her novel Ikaduhang Sugo was published by E. Q. Cornejo and Sons in 1971.

Montaire worked at numerous radio stations and was at one time the host of “Ang Mga Tambag ni Inday Loling,” an advice program.
