I wrote this piece as a prelude to "Bloodline Maharlika", a story is inspired by Philippine mythology where the descendants of deities embark on a quest to retrieve an age-old artifact to stop a repeat of the war of the gods. Prof. Bien Suntay is a modern day Umalohokan, which explains his fascination for local folklore.All Rights Reserved

Mahingga by BradyscottH

FULL STORY IS UPLOADED. Free to read After his brother is taken, Ako hesitantly teams up with a foreign girl to go save him from a continent of warring nations. Once there, he learns that his family's technology could be the key to not only saving his brother, but his entire island nation. This story came to me shortly after returning to America. I'd just been living in the Philippines and found something magical and beautiful there. Most of the names of people and locations originate from Filipino words in the Tagalog language. For example, Mahingga, the name of the of the island where the story starts, means "rest" in Tagalog. I wanted to the story to be funny and adventurous with a sense of wonder. I hope you enjoy the story, and I'm happy to hear any feedback.

Ferry by kristinchanmanila

Ferry is actually inspired by Click Five's hit song "Jenny". The story of Ferry was conceived on a train, on my way to work (or maybe on my way home?) whilst listening to the song. There were unnecessary flashbacks in my head that thought needed some justification, some sort of immortality by the power of words, sentences, paragraphs and ideas. It is about two teenagers, Ferry and Clair whose story we shall follow in a span of 12 years randomly picking one day to highlight the progression of the characters as they grow up to become adults. Each chapter is inspired by a line from Jenny. Ferry is a story of waiting, being selfless, learning when to give up and finding happiness again, a classic formula that never goes out of style. This work is written for all the Ferry's who rule the world and to all the Clair's who wait in the wings.

LIRA: Book I (Pop Fiction CLOAK) by MaxineLaurel

If we are still in the 90's and someone will approach me and say "You're a descendant of a Goddess," I'll most likely answer "You need some serious help." But we are now living in the early 22nd century, where the country has endured and survived the Great World War and Vampires ruled the world like kings -literally. Anything is possible. My one shot to escape the social stigma branded to someone like me who is born from a lower caste is just one school away. I am one of those lucky few chosen to attend the Imperial Academy. It may be a vampire infested school, but a school is still a school. Everything is okay until my very own personal bully shows up. And to top it all an arrogant vampire prince thinks I'm his! And I get to see them every day. Great. My name is Lira, and this is my story. Published under Cloak Pop Fiction

1890s FLAME of HEART (ALAB NG PUSO) BOOK 2 by AndresVelizardo0

A fictionalized work based on the accounts of people in the turn of the Century. The Stories inspired World history, Colonial Globalization, Culture, National history and a little bit of Love Story. And of course, the role of Family and Community in the Society. I've sprinkled a dash of faith and belief because it is one of the major Foundations of our culture. WE HAVE OUR INDIVIDUAL STRENGTH AS A COMMUNITY AND AS A PERSON. IT COMES OUT IN TIMES OF CRISIS, WE FACE DISASTER WITH A SMILE, RESPECT OF ELDERS IS CLEAR BY WORD OF 'PO' & 'OPO' AND MOST OF ALL COLONIZERS CAN NEVER TAKE AWAY THE BEST PART OF OUR CULTURE... THE BAYANIHAN.
