This book gathers thirty stories from across the Philippine archipelago, retelling traditional tales of creation, gods, spirits, witches, love, greed, and courage. From “Mariang Makiling: Goddess of the Forests” to “The Origin of the Mermaid” and “The Legend of Bataan”, the collection presents narratives that embody Filipino values, beliefs, and imagination.

Written by Marlene Aguilar and accompanied by artworks by Jun A. Martinez, the book serves as both a preservation of folklore and a reflection on how these myths continue to shape identity and cultural memory.
