Philippine Mythology
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-Complete

Blood of Forgotten Gods
Blood of the Forgotten Gods By Velastrea For centuries, the world believed the old gods simply vanished. That they faded into myth under the shadow of colonization and the rise of religion. But the truth was buried-literally. The Spanish conquest was not just a thirst for land or souls-it was a secret mission ordered by the Vatican to hunt down the ancient gods, goddesses, and anitos of the world. One by one, they were captured, chained, or forced into hiding, their names erased from prayers and pages. Their temples burned. Their stories silenced. But the blood of the divine cannot be killed. Mayari, a quiet Filipina girl from a remote province, was born with power humming in her veins. At two, she healed the dying. At ten, she made the crops bloom in a dying land. At eighteen, her eyes glow like the moon when she prays. Her family has hidden her gifts all her life, but destiny can only be delayed, not denied. Now, haunted by visions of gods in chains and guided by whispers of a past buried in the roots of her bloodline, Mayari must journey into the heart of the enemy-the Vatican itself. To awaken the imprisoned, to reclaim the forgotten, and to ignite the divine war long overdue. Because the gods are not dead. They are waiting.
What Survived Beyond 1897?
It is 1942, and Manila lies under Japanese occupation. A single torn page from a mysterious ledger pulls Kenjiro into a dangerous hunt through the city's war-torn streets - a trail of whispers leading to Kuta Malaya, a hidden stronghold in the heart of Tondo, ruled by rogue soldiers and unseen hands. But every step closer brings more questions than answers. Who is the shadow that stalks him through the marketplaces of Binondo? What secret is worth killing for inside Kuta Malaya's guarded walls? And why does the name "Kazumichi Matsuda" burn like an old wound that refuses to heal? As alliances fracture and ambition turns brothers-in-arms into executioners, Kenjiro finds himself caught between two deadly masters: the ruthless General obsessed with an immortal legacy, and the elusive Iñigo - a ghost from the past whose name is spoken in defiance and fear. The deeper Kenjiro delves, the more the war becomes a mirror of himself - forcing him to choose between survival, truth, and the thin line of honor he still clings to. From the alleys of Intramuros to the shadows of Kuta Malaya, What Survived Beyond 1897 is a tale of loyalty and betrayal, of weapons both steel and silent, and of the quiet battles fought long after the gunfire fades.
