It’s not new; when I was in college, that was also big news. It was almost simultaneous with the big news about drug smuggling. Some of our schoolmates were also reported missing, but we didn’t know if it was true or just gossip because I was busy then and didn’t follow up on it.

she would answer guiltily. "Kailan mo kaya ako matututuhang tawagin na 'Zane'?" he would sigh before cutting the line. "Never," bulong ni Avery, "aloud." Biyernes nang walang abug-abog na sumambulat ang balita ng isang trahedya sa ibang bansa, sa New Zealand. Isang plane crash ang naganap sa mismong airport nang magte-take-off na sa runway. Sakay ang ilang Pilipino, kasama si Zane Dela Cuesta!

After our conversation, I started working and kept myself busy cleaning the cups and plates. "By the way, did you see the news about the missing man?" Lean asked, but I didn’t look at her. I was curious about what she said. "Another missing person? That’s nothing new in the Philippines, so it’s no surprise that so many people go missing here," I replied before glancing at her. "He’s not just any ordinary person in the Philippines—he’s a billionaire." There are still rich people going missing in the country? I thought something like that was really rare.

And anything. With my blurry eyes, I stared at the flatscreen TV and let my tears continue running down my cheeks. It was one of the cold days in December, but the news that morning was hot and burning. Like it was a scorching fire that burned my young and innocent heart and turned it into ashes. “Two of the most successful business couples in the Philippines were declared dead on arrival this early morning. Engineer Akem Jhyun Lee and his wife, Architect Oseanna Lee, had a plane crash after their business trip in Palawan,” the popular female newscaster said.

In areas like Taguig, which was a prosperous city in the Philippines in 2023, it had a rural landscape during the Japanese invasion, making it close to strategic military sites like Fort McKinley (Sakura Heiei). Guerilla activities were common, and danger lurked around every corner. Pedro, who had been part of a guerilla group in Laguna, felt a surge of anger. He had a strong physique that would easily catch the attention of any Japanese soldier.

nasambit ko na lamang, pero ni-hindi man lang niya ako tiningnan. Lumapit ako sa kanya at umupo sa kanyang tabi. Nanliit ang mga mata ko nang makita ang namamaga niyang mga mata sa malapit. Tatanungin ko na sana siya kung anong nangyari sa kanya, pero naunahan niya na akong magsalita. "I know what happened to you way back from the Philippines." Nanginig ang kalamnan ko nang marinig ang mga katagang iyon.

Sa totoo lang, mas matindi pa nga ito kaysa sa mga nangyari sakaniya noong nakaraang buwan. Eto na ba? Eto na ba ang simula ng kinakatakutan ko? Dec. 8, 1941. Ayon sa pagkakaalala ko sa isang report sa Philippine History subject ko ay ito ang araw kung saan unang sumalakay ang mga hapon sa pilipinas. Ginawa nila yun ilang oras pagkatapos nilang pasabugin at salakayin naman ang Pearl harbor.

The vineyard had always been the heart of the Del Fuego legacy, but now its fire was reaching farther than Maria or Celeste had ever imagined. What began as a pact in Mindoro had become a movement across the Philippines, then a flame across continents. Yet the fire was not uniform. It burned differently in Jakarta, in Nairobi, in Toronto, in São Paulo. It danced in crosswinds, shaped by culture, history, and context. And now, it was time to gather those flames into something larger—something that could endure.

I wanna cry. Every time I attended it was always boring. It just becomes interesting depending on the speaker and a guest. Today is different because there is a party afterwards. And there will be artists in attendance. What can I do? What is that? I've only been here for 2 weeks. As in, I just came back and there is something like this right away. Is this really the case in the Philippines? Easy is always easy. Finals are coming soon. What can happen? I will review more.. Final exam and pass it.. Then it's Graduation.

(third person Pov) Fifteen years had passed since the last chapter of their life, and the kingdoms of Tondo and Pasig were thriving under the wise and just rule of Hara Dayang Kalangitan and Raja Gat Lontok.
