Tikbalang Stories

In Maynilad, fear is not a feeling. It is a rule. The city lives in layers-light above, silence below-and in the silence, people speak of things that should not exist. They call them Elementals. And no one questions what happens when they appear. Amari stopped questioning a long time ago. At fourteen, she saw something in the dark that never left her memory. Something that should not have looked back at her the way it did. Years later, she enters Bantay Dilim-a classified task force that operates where normal law cannot reach. Trained in Arnis, discipline, and silence, she becomes part of operations that move only when something must disappear. But some missions don't behave like missions. Some reports don't match what the eyes see. And some shadows feel too aware to be empty. The deeper she goes, the more the city stops feeling like a place-and starts feeling like something watching in stillness. AMARI: BANTAY DILIM is a dark cinematic urban fantasy about grief, control, and the thin line between what is feared... and what is real.

Sa gitna ng isang liblib na balete tree sa Pilipinas, may mga kwentong matagal nang kinatatakutan ng mga tao-mga multo, mga nilalang sa dilim, at mga alamat na paulit-ulit na binubulong sa mga takot na bata. Pero sa likod ng lahat ng iyon, may katotohanang walang nagsasabi. Hindi sila nakakatakot. Pagod sila. Isang White Lady na na-assign sa maling puno at hindi pa rin alam kung paano siya napunta roon. Isang Kapre na matagal nang nakaupo sa parehong sanga, higit pa sa buhay ng mga taong natatakot sa kanya. Isang Tikbalang na hindi sigurado kung siya ba ay alamat, pagkakamali, o identity crisis na nagkatawang nilalang. Sa pagitan ng mga dumadaang turista, nagvi-video na bata, at mga usap-usapang urban legend, unti-unting mabubuo ang isang lihim na hindi dapat nalalaman ng mundo: Ang mga "nakakatakot" na nilalang sa balete tree ay hindi pala mga halimaw. Sila ay mga nilalang din na naghahanap ng pahinga, pagkakakilanlan, at katahimikan sa mundong matagal nang ginawang alamat ang kanilang pagod. At sa bawat liham na kanilang isinusulat, unti-unting mababago ang tanong ng lahat: Ano ba talaga ang mas nakakatakot-ang mga multo... o ang mga kwentong ginawa tungkol sa kanila?

Pedro is a tikbalang, a half-man, half-horse known to have a penchant for lying and mischief. He moves to the city to start anew, and becomes friends with the unlikeliest beings. Soon, Pedro's past begins to catch up with him, making him wonder if he could ever escape his tikbalang nature — a deceiving creature who spends lifetimes alone, friendless. "My Name is Pedro" is part of the Anything Goes Anthology, a multi-national, multi-genre anthology published by the Fiction Writers Group.

Four friends who created a band called Alab drifted apart after a devastating fall out just before they finished highschool. Ten years later, circumstances brought them back together as adults, giving them the opportunity to rekindle old relationships and tie up loose ends. This story revolves around the town of Morganfield, which replaced what used to be the sacred mountain of Makiling. Made into a US military base in 1990, it was named after General Charles Morgan when the Philippines became an unincorporated and organized US territory across the Pacific Ocean. This will also explore the nearly forgotten history of precolonnial Philippine mythology and folklore, and a brave take on the Philippine pantheon, but in a more modernized setting. As this is a work in progress, expect some changes along the way (like this temporary cover photo) But for now, let's see how this one goes. Please let me know what you think! I'd like this writing experience to be as interactive as possible. Thank you!
