Babaylan Stories

"Hindi ako ang bumalik sa nakaraan. Ang nakaraan ang tumawag sa akin." Ang tanging iniisip ni Haliya ay ang pagtatapos ng kanyang Anthropology thesis-hanggang sa isang archaeological excavation sa Quezon ang nagbago sa lahat. Isang lumang agimat. Isang bulong na siya lang ang nakarinig. At isang hakbang... ...na nagdala sa kanya sa panahong wala pang bansang tinatawag na Pilipinas. Sa mundong pinamumunuan ng mga datu, babaylan, diwata, at anito, unti-unti niyang matutuklasan na hindi aksidente ang pagdating niya. Siya ang huling tagapagmana ng isang sinaunang kapangyarihang matagal nang nawawala. Ngunit habang papalapit ang digmaan sa pagitan ng tao at mga espiritu, kailangan niyang mamili: Bumalik sa mundong kilala niya... o manatili sa panahong unti-unti niyang tinatawag na tahanan. Dahil minsan, ang pinakamapanganib na mahika ay hindi sumpa. Kundi ang pag-ibig.

Five teens. One ancient legacy. A battle for Ma'i's soul. In the scattered islands of Ma'i, where jungle meets city and myth hides in the cracks of everyday life, stories of gods and guardians have faded into superstition-forgotten relics of a time when the divine walked among mortals. But not all myths stay buried. When long-dormant deities rise again-vengeful, powerful, and determined to reclaim a world that has moved on-five teenagers are thrust into the center of a war they never saw coming. Each one is the descendant of a forgotten babaylan line, carrying within them gifts they never asked for, bound to a heritage they were never taught to understand. As chaos begins to ripple across Ma'i-storms that defy science, creatures thought to exist only in folklore, whispers of war in both the mortal and spirit realms-these teens must come together. They are strangers from different walks of life, with fractured pasts, clashing beliefs, and wounds that run deeper than they know. To survive, they must uncover the truth of their bloodlines, unlock their ancestral power, and confront the gods-old and new-who would see the world burn to remake it in their image. But power alone will not be enough. They must learn to trust each other, forgive what they find in themselves, and fight not just for survival, but for the soul of Ma'i itself. Will they rise as protectors-or fall as pawns in a war older than time? The fate of their world may depend not on their strength... but on their courage to remember who they truly are.

In a world where ancient magic and modern technology collide, a young woman named Bulan must embrace her destiny as a powerful babaylan, a guardian of the supernatural realm. Armed with a deep connection to the elements, Bulan faces off against a sinister demon whose schemes threaten to unleash chaos upon the Philippines. With the help of her friend Marga, Bulan journeys into a hidden world where the past and the present collide, battling creatures of legend and fighting for the future of her nation.

Sa paghahanap niya ng mga sagot, nakilala niya ang isang dalagang nagngangalang Claudia at magkasama nilang natuklasan ang isang nakalimutang mundo ng mga Babaylang tagapagbantay, mga nakatagong lungsod, mga sinaunang tawiran, at isang hula na may kaugnayan sa kapalaran ng dalawang mundo. Habang unti-unting humihina ang isang sinaunang selyo, kailangan nilang malaman ang katotohanan bago muling maulit ang kasaysayan.

A young apprentice in ancient Philippines yearns for a forbidden life, but she is also torn by the violent spiritual calling as a shaman. As a shifting tide of foreign iron and ancient rituals threatens her home, she must face a visceral truth: history is not written in song but in the blood of those sacrificed to the gods.

My thoughts on Filipino cosmology. Books I'm reading. Craft lessons I'm learning. Questions I can't answer. What it means to be a keeper of stories. Raw. Unfiltered. Real.

As fragments of her past lives begin to surface and memories bleed into the present, she is drawn into a truth she was never meant to remember.

Long ago, it is said the great Bakunawa, the serpent of the sea and skies, tried to swallow the moons and plunge the world into eternal night. Legends claim the gods struck it down. But legends are often written by the victors - and sometimes, they hide truths darker than the night itself. In a realm where eight ancient clans once stood as pillars of balance, whispers of forgotten power stir again. One by one, young heirs are summoned to fulfill destinies they barely understand - heirs bound not only by bloodlines, but by secrets buried deep in the bones of the world. At the center of it all is Libulan Mayari, a boy unlike any before him - the first male babaylan in a clan where only women were believed capable of wielding the sacred gifts of life, spirit, and healing. Marked by a color he chose himself - pink, the hue of dawn and quiet rebellion - Libulan's very existence shatters ancient traditions. Yet with his rise comes unease, for the old stories begin to crack, revealing something hidden beneath. Together with the other young masters - Thaddeus, Kaiana, and Marcus among others- Libulan embarks on a journey across cursed islands, forgotten temples, and living mountains. Along the way, they encounter creatures of myth - not as monsters, but as relics of a stolen past. The young masters soon realize that the true enemy is not chaos or ancient beasts... but the rewritten history that imprisoned both the Bakunawa and their own clans in chains of lies. As the last moon trembles in the sky, they must decide: Will they protect the world built on falsehoods - or tear it down to reveal the forgotten truth?
