For those interested in "Philippine Supernatural Creatures" this book is for you. I am always fascinated about the Creatures of Philippine Mythology, to know their origins and where they came from and how they were integrated into early animist beliefs.

Philippine mythology is the body of myths, tales, and superstitions held by Filipinos, mostly originating from beliefs held during the pre-Hispanic era. Some of these beliefs stem from pre-Christian religion that was specially influenced by the Hinduism and were regarded by the Spanish as "myth" and "superstition" in an effort to de-legitimize precolonial faith by replacing those native beliefs with colonial Catholic Christian myths and superstitions. Today, some of these precolonial beliefs are still held by Filipinos, especially in the provinces. Filipino myth is incorporated from various sources, having similarities with Indonesian and Malay myths, as well as Christian traditions, such as the notion of Heaven (kaluwalhatian, kalangitan, kamurawayan), Hell (impiyerno, kasamaan), and the human soul (kaluluwa). Filipino mythology attempts to explain the nature of the world through the lives and actions of gods, goddesses, heroes, and mythological creatures. A majority of these myths were passed on through oral tradition. - This Book contains : - the creation myth - list of deities - list of creatures - the story of Lapu-Lapu - 2018 -Completed-

From the renowned Filipino reformist and national hero Dr. Jose Rizal comes a classic piece of literature portraying the grim reality of the backward state of the Philippines during the Spanish era. After the events of the first novel "Noli Me Tangere", El Filibusterismo follows the story of Simoun, a mysterious jeweller from America on a business venture in the Philippines. Widely known by the name "Black Cardinal", he earned his infamous reputation as a trader for his dark but unusually persuasive countenance, crooked morals, and unorthodox methods in doing business. To the regular folk, he is just another entrepreneur with a twisted sense of morality, but unknown to everybody, he is much more than just a mere opportunist he seemed to be. For beneath his dark glasses and silvery white hair, there lies beyond them a much deeper and darker persona...waiting for the right time to strike!

When a grumpy billionaire fake dates a sunshine barista to understand how love works, they are forced to face the monsters of their past and live through a swoonworthy romance filled with Taylor Swift song references. - - - When the pandemic causes her to lose her job as a background vocalist, Priyankha takes up a temporary job as a barista to make ends meet. She decides to write her own songs to create a new identity for herself as a singer but soon realizes that she has lived a very sheltered life and has nothing to write about. Oliver has always been a workaholic, too absorbed in files and figures. But when his fiancée dumps him and calls him boring to his face, it dawns on him that he was always so lost in his work that he hardly ever tried to live life or make worthwhile memories. She needs a trauma to write songs about. He needs memories to live for. And when Taylor Swift announces the release of Red (Taylor's Version) within 5 months, they both need a heartbreaking relationship to cry about when the album drops. So it goes... They sign up for a time-bound contract where they pretend to be in love only to break up one week before the album releases. They aren't lovers and theirs isn't even a real relationship. So what's the invisible string tying them together? It's not a love story but you can call it what you want.
