Philippine Myths Novels & Stories

giit ko habang tinitingnan silang dalawa. Nakukuha ko naman ang punto ni Tito. What will happen to my life and missions in this country if I move to the Philippines to hide? Because I'm going to hide, I feel like a chicken, and it appears that I'm wimpy. I didn't go through the trouble of training and putting in the effort to get here for nothing.

Madalas sa kaniya ko idinadaing ang mga problema ko at sa kaniya ko din ihinihingi iyon ng mga payo. Fast Forward.... Madalas akong nanaginip ng mga mga ancient deity/gods tulad nina Brahma, Vishnu at Shiva sa Hindu mythology. Hindi ko alam pero lagi silang pumapasok sa panaginip ko. After a dream, I just woke up and realized that my palm and fingers are rushed to paint about those gods. Imagine, for the first time ay naging interesado ako mga Mitolohiya. Honestly, mahilig talaga ako magpinta. It's been my hobby until then it became my self-lifting career.

"Yes mom, and you said you live in the Philippines. I also want to live there, mom. I've seen on the TV how beautiful the Philippines is. So I want to move there too." "Yes honey. The Philippines is a beautiful country. We can live there for as long as you want, okay?" "Can I also have a friends in Philippines mom? Are they also good to me?" tanong nito. "Of course, you can also make many friends there, honey, as long as you tried to speak tagalog. Kung gusto mo ng magkaroon ng maraming kaibigan sanayin mo na ang pagsasalita ng tagalog upang maiintindihan ka rin ng mga bata doon, okay?" Paliwanag niya sa anak.

saka napabuntung hininga siya. Nag-isip saglit si Zeus, itinataas ang kilay at tinitigan siya, "Kung ganoon siya kawalanghiya sa iyo, bakit hindi mo siya iwan at pumunta sa Pilipinas kasama ako?" Ang sinabi niya ay may kinalaman sa hindi pagtitiwala sa babae at pag-aakalang nagsisinungaling ito.

malumanay na wika ni Nanay Belinda habang hinahagod ang aking balikat. "Panaginip..." tanging nasabi ko. Humihingal ako. Taas baba ang aking dibdib at sobrang bilis ng pintig ng aking puso. Pati ang mga kamay ko ay nanginginig. Bakit iyon ang aking panaginip? Pinilit ko naman iwaglit sa isipan ko ang nakita kahapon, ah. Pero bakit pati sa panaginip ko ay binabagabag ako? Hindi na nga ako muntik makatulog dahil hindi ko talaga nakakalimutan ang itsura ni Philip.

It was fortunate actually that he didn't end up with Jerome. Aiofe was sleeping soundly when I came. I kissed her forehead before heading to kitchen. We ate dinner when she woke up and told me what happened through out her day. "Mmy, Cholo said that Philippines is a nice place. Is it, Mmy?" I was caught off guard with her question that I almost slipped the glass from my hand. "He told that to you?" I tried to make my voice calm. "Yes, Mmy. Can we visit there? I want to see the animals and the land he's been telling me po."

HR45 Days passed, we are now finally getting ready for our flight to Philippines. Maaga akong nagising para asikasuhin ang aking anak na tulog na tulog pa rin. Masarap ang tulog niya dahil napapagitnaan namin siya ni Halil. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit siya dito natulog sa amin kagabi.

Paano pa kaya kapag narinig nito ang katotohanan sa ibang tao? She stared into the horizon as she started telling how did it happen. “Five years ago, I came in the Philippines to give into my mother’s request,” she said. “It was to celebrate her fifty-first birthday. I also heard about your proposal, for asking her to marry you. It was the reason why I came home. It was unbelievable for me to know my mother is getting married. Mas nauna pa siyang ikasal sa ‘kin. I thought the man who wanted to marry is only after the money.”

matiyagang tugon ni Matthaios. “Ay bakit ga kagaling mong mag-Tagalog?” pangungulit pa ni lolo Marcial. “Saka parang sanay na sanay kang kumain ng ulam ng Pinoy?” Bahagyang tumawa si Matthaios, tanda na nagugustuhan nito ang pakikipagkuwentuhan sa dalawang matanda. “Pilipina po ang aking ina. Palagi niya akong ipinagluluto ng mga pagkaing Pinoy noong nabubuhay pa siya at nakatira sa Greece kaya sobra ko pong na-miss ang ganitong ulam.”

"Really? Mabuti at hindi ka na nono. Alam mo ang dewende?" "Yeah. The small persons," aniya at natawa na ako habang kinukurot siya kaya napapa talon siya at napapa aray. "Anong small persons ah?" "E ano ba?" "Ewan ko sa 'yo, Rod. Dewendes are one of the famous urban legend here in the Philippines. They are not just a small people you said. They are tiny creatures na nakatira sa punso. They have powers and iyon nga, kapag nadisturbo mo sila, some parts of your body ay mamamaga."
