Spain had been colonizing the Philippine Islands for many generations now. The effects of their rule were not just written in laws, but carved into the lives of the people who suffered beneath them.
Teresa had been advocating against the Spanish government ever since she was a child. With her liberal ideals and quiet involvement in the movement, she had long lived under the watchful eyes of Spanish friars and officials.
But everything changes when she meets a man-
a journalist whose job is to conceal the cruelty of the Spaniards.
Will they guard their secrets and find themselves drawn together,
or will the truth force them to expose one another...
and become each other's greatest enemy?

The Unconquered Sun: Philippines
What if the story of the Philippines was never one of conquest, but of absolute victory? In a time before the West, the islands are a proud but fractured land of warring kingdoms, bowing to the whims of petty kings and superstitious gods. From this world rises Biran, a warrior-prince with a radical, dangerous idea: a nation without kings, without slaves, and without gods. A republic built on reason and freedom. To build this new world, he must first burn the old one down. His revolution is a brutal "War on Kings," a crusade to tear down every throne in the archipelago. But as he forges his new republic in the fires of war, a new empire arrives from across the sea, threatening to extinguish his dream before it can truly begin. This is the saga of a nation that refused to be colonized. The story of a people who, against all odds, forged their own destiny and became... The Unconquered Sun.

What Kind Of Future? | Vico Sotto
(ON-GOING | SLOW UPDATE) The Philippines, 2125. Are you curious what will happen exactly one hundred years from now? Will cars finally soar above our heads, turning highways into skies? Will the world be so high-tech that humans barely lift a finger? Or... will robots rise and take over everything we thought we controlled? What about the future of us, our country, our leaders, our people? What will politics in the Philippines look like in the year 2125? Who will rule the cities, the islands, the entire nation? Will we still fight for freedom, or will freedom already be redefined? In 2125, the world is ruled by technology, yet haunted by forgotten promises of the past. Somewhere between the ticking of the present and the silence of tomorrow, two souls collide. One carries the weight of history, the other the spark of what is yet to come. But destiny is a circle, not a straight line. And when hearts learn to travel through time, across memories, across centuries, love becomes the only future worth fighting for. Because maybe the question isn't what kind of future awaits us...but who is waiting there with us.
