A man's name is important and Salip Pulaco has more than one. He's been called a pirate, a savage, a fool, and sometimes a hero, but a changed man? 

Now, that one is still up for debate...
      
Feared by his enemies and loved by his people, Pulaco must find away to protect not only his family, but also his own chiefdom as his enemies descend towards him- enemies that range from an ambitious rival datu, a fleet of Conquistadores with enough fire power to burn down his village, an arrogant and spiteful princeling, an undeserving Regent, and many more. While his allies include a mysterious headhunter, a hot-head brother-in-law and a mixed-bag of warriors. 

This is a story of one's Identity, one's Legacy, one's hunger for Glory, one's longing for Peace and one's dream to live Free.
      
A fantastical retelling of a Filipino classic with a dash of magic and a whole lot of blood set in Pre-Colonial Philippines.

Enjoy!

Dahil ang kapalit ng kasiyahan ay ang aking kamatayan. I thought my life ends there... but that is how it actually started. Never been in my wildest dreams to die on the day I was born, and worst, to open my eyes where everything is unknown. The place I found myself in, the people surrounding me, and even myself-or the body I have, to be exact. I died as an ordinary, untamed, reckless and free teenage city girl, thinking it'll be that way until my very last breath. However, I was wrong, because I came back to life as a princess with cold chains on my body. Isang prinsesang pinagkaitan ng kalayaan at nakakulong sa rehas ng nakaraan. She was deemed to be a cursed princess, and how unfortunate am I, to have that as my second life.

Rebolusyon! by CixiousNazarick

**Synopsis:** On January 1, 2045, the tranquil Polillo group of islands is inexplicably transported to an alternate Earth, back to the late 19th century, a time marked by powerful colonial empires and intense geopolitical conflicts. In this alternate world, where the strong subjugate the weak, the Spanish Empire is in decline, and the islands must navigate this turbulent era with their advanced 21st-century technology and knowledge. Initially, the islanders concentrate on adapting to their new environment and managing the era's harsh conditions, including disease and limited resources. The East Philippine Sea Command, a modern military unit also displaced to this time, takes on the task of protecting the islands and gathering crucial intelligence. As Spain's hold on its colonies weakens in this alternate timeline, the islanders and the Command recognize their strategic opportunity. They begin to discreetly influence local dynamics, preparing to support the rise of the Philippine Revolution. Their objective is to navigate the complexities of colonial rule, contribute to the revolutionary cause, and subtly shift the balance of power in the region. In a world where colonial powers dominate and nations vie for control, the islanders and the Command play a crucial role in shaping the course of history, balancing their advanced knowledge with the realities of this alternate past to impact the future of the Philippines. --- Pictures, videos, and music used in the book are for reference purposes only and belong to their respective owners.
