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?All Rights Reserved

What Kind Of Future? | Vico Sotto by annswersonly

(ON-GOING) 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.

Love in Past by Alie_thoughts

Sa gitna ng abalang Intramuros, tahimik na tumatawid si Isabella Valmoria sa pedestrian lane, nang bigla siyang salpukin ng rumaragasang sasakyan.

The Seven Layers of the Cosmos by kathconti

They say some doors only open once. Luna lied to her father about a research trip to the Philippines. She didn't mention the impossible theory her vanished mother left behind. The pot swallowed her whole. Now she's crawling out of it into pre-colonial Madja-as during a pirate raid, where bodies fall like rain and survival isn't a skill you learn in international schools. The pot won't reopen. Her geometric tattoos burn with power she can't control. And somewhere in this brutal, beautiful world, there's a Keeper she's supposed to find. Except the Keeper is dead. Luna has spent her whole life trusting no one, needing no one, surviving alone. But here, blood soaks into communal earth. Here, warriors die with their crew's names on their lips. Here, villages share their last handful of rice. Isolation isn't strength when survival is measured in how many hands pull you back from the edge. It's extinction. The cosmic layers are fracturing. An ancient god is clawing his way back to power. And the prophecy that dragged her through time demands something she's never learned how to give: trust. She crossed time to find her mother. She found a war, a prophecy, and the reason some people never make it home. 🔗https://open.spotify.com/episode/5Q39SmQjhz2NSrzYz8NUya
