Maria Clara at Ibarra: Isang Obra

You’ve done it again, GMA. KUDOS. Lemme just say this. I am one full-blooded Kapamilya. But when I was younger, I remember watching and being obsessed with Mulawin, Majika, and especially the original 2006 Encantadia. Feeling ko forte talaga ng GMA ang “Telefantasya” genre. And now, another timely gem has been created. Isang napakagandang proyekto, GMA. Ngayon na lamang muli napakapanood ng serye na likha ninyo, and I’m really glad I did. 🫶🏻

Why I LOVE this teleserye??! Ang paksa ng drama ay napapanahon at edukasyonal para sa ating lahat. Liban sa kilig at mga nakakatuwang hirit, parang isang pagbabalik-tanaw at pagpapaalala sa mga nakalipas na panahon. Also, casting was SPOT ON!!! Barbie was perfect for the role, Klay (sobrang kaaliw! #feminism #notooppression besh). The perfect representation of what a Pinoy youth should be now. Crisostomo Ibarra giving me extra oppa vibez. Sa pagkakatanda ko super crush ko na before si Dennis Trillo sa Majika pero omg, tinatangi ko po kayo ginoo (ipagpatawad mo, Ate Jen hihi). The super talented Julie Ann as Maria Clara was surprising for me. ‘Twas actually unbeknownst to me that she can act like this. I’m amazed! I know she sings, she dances, and she can act too? (sige ipinapaubaya ko na talaga si Rayver ahahaha). Sa totoo lang, nahihirapan na ko pag nakikita ko silang umiiyak ni Barbie. I’m like, unli luha lang mga amiga? 🙌🏼 Also, I am now understanding why David Licauco has everyone in his clutches. (yung kaibigan ko, pipilahan ka talaga eh. see you soon kapag makakapaglamierda kami jan sa maynila hahaha). Fidel, isa kang tunay at tapat na amigo. Talk about character development, right? 🥲

Padre Salvi, Padre Damaso, pinakulo niyo po ang aking dugo, pinabilis ninyo ang tibok ng aking puso sa inis at galit. It’s my first time seeing Juancho Triviño as an actor. I know I knew him from somewhere, so ayun hubby nga pala siya ni Joyce Pring. He fits the role of PS to a tee! The amount of hate and disgust for the character just showed his effective acting. Of course, you would expect greatness with the likes of Mr. Tirso Cruz III, but I must say these younger actors leveled up too.

Andrea Torres as Sisa?! Speechless. 👏🏻 Dasurv ng award at recognition sa binigay niya dito. And, it is always a delight to see Rocco Nacino. The perfect Elias. Mahilig talaga ako sa chinito maputi ganyan pero for some reason, I crush you po.🫶🏻 (pasintabi rin kay mareng Mel wew?).

All in all, sobrang naaliw at napasaya ako ng kwentong ito. Sana ay makalikha pa po kayo ng mga proyektong katulad nito. Dinggin niyo kami! ✊🏼😉 Viva Las Filipinas!! 🇵🇭 Sana nga ay tuluyan na tayong makalaya. 🙏🏼

A Mulawin’s first out of this World Trip

It was a peaceful day in Encantadia. Malaya was stationed in the throne room, guarding their Queen, named Amihan. The Queen was busy writing and signing some paperwork for the improvements of Encantadia since it was about time that they also embrace the modern tech that the generation has created. And it will be more susceptible for future generations to come.

As the Queen continued her work, Malaya sensed something and peeked outside the grand window. Seeing a dark carriage in front of the palace's entrance, the guards who were stationed there were already alert and checking the carriage. One of the guards was about to enter the carriage but was immediately pushed out by an unseen force, making them more warry and unsheathe their weapons.

"Reyna Amihan, forgive me for disturbing you. But, there is a black carriage in front of the palace gates" Malaya reported to her Queen. The Queen stood up and looked out of the grand window, her eyes twinkled knowingly, and smiled.

"Ooh~ I did not expect this. How long has it been since the Ebony carriage appeared here in Encantadia." Queen Amihan said. Malaya's eyes widen in surprise and looked back at the so-called 'Ebony carriage'. "Ebony carriage?! I thought it was just a myth... No wonder.. This carriage is giving me a different vibe." Malaya muttered in disbelief.

"Well, it has been too long since the last Ebony carriage had arrived here in Encantadia. It might have sensed a person here with great potential." She said and looks at Malaya, who just tilted her head in confusion. "Forgive me for my ignorance, Reyna Amihan. But whatever do you mean?" Malaya asked, but Queen Amihan did not answer making Malaya more confused and curious.

"I'll see to it, to what or who the Ebony carriage is looking for." She chuckled walking towards where the Ebony carriage is and Malaya following in suit since it is her duty to protect her Queen from any danger that may come to her.

Lireo Palace - Palace Gates

"Stand down men!" Malaya commanded the guards, their eyes widen as they saw the Queen with her and immediately straightened their posture and saluted Malaya and the Queen. "We give respect to Reyna Amihan and Heneral Malaya!" They greeted, Queen Amihan smiled and nodded and went close to the ebony carriage.

"My, my, this is quite interesting. Who might you be looking for oh Ebony carriage~" She said and patted one of the horses' heads. Malaya, who was still on guard, can't help but hold on to the handle of one of her swords. "Hmm~ I see." Queen Amihan said and looks at Malaya. "Malaya." Queen Amihan called, Malaya immediately went beside her Queen and saluted.

"Yes, my Queen?"

"Congratulations~!!" Queen Amihan cheered as sparkles surrounded her, making Malaya squint at her Majesty's beautiful aura. 'Too.. bright. But it's her Majesty so it is an honor!' Malaya low key simping at her Majesty.

"U-Um yes?" Malaya said unsurely as her Majesty continued to cheer. "Now get in the carriage, Malaya." Queen Amihan said making Malaya flabbergasted at her words. Malaya started sweating in distress and asked her Majesty, "Pardon me, Reyna Amihan but.... Isn't the Ebony carriage a transport to another world?"

"Why yes, not only that, you will be studying magic too~! And you get to meet new friends and explore new places, also because you always look so lonely..." Malaya felt an arrow hit her heart and she awkwardly coughed. "Reyna Amihan... I am honored that the Ebony carriage has chosen me, but-" Malaya was cut off when Queen Amihan looked at her with puppy eyes, she tried looking away but the Queen's puppy eyes were too powerful for her.

"C'mon now Malaya. It might be fun! You might make good memories while your there..." Queen Amihan said as she patted the Mulawin's head. She always thought of Malaya as one of her children, as a mother not only to her own children but to the whole Lireo empire. She wanted what's best for Malaya.

"I-... It is an honor to be chosen by the Ebony carriage, Reyna Amihan." Malaya said and saluted Queen Amihan.

Queen Amihan happily nodded, "Oh before I forget, I want to give you a present." She said, on her palm shined a beautiful magic crystal necklace, a mix of beautiful colors as shown on the crystal. "Reyna Amihan... Are you sure I can take this?" Malaya was still processing and she looked at Queen Amihan.

"Of course, it is for you." Queen Amihan chuckled and puts the necklace on Malaya.

Malaya, who was still speechless but at the same time very happy. It may not show it on her face, but her eyes are already sparkling. "I will do my, Reyna Amihan." She saluted yet again.

Queen Amihan giggled, "Just have fun in school, Anak." She said, and Malaya nodded now entering the carriage.

"Don't worry, they've already packed the things you've needed, Anak." Queen Amihan smiled. The carriage now started moving, Malaya poked her hear out and waved goodbye to Queen Amihan, which she waved back.

And off Malaya goes.

To Twisted Wonderland she go~

No matter what, never let go of my hand

==============================================================================

Some stuff to explain:

-Malaya's magic crystal is like a physical copy of the Mother gem. But the crystal that was given to her will just amplify her magic powers. Since I don't want her to be too much op.

-Malaya has been in wars. Which made her wary of other species.

-She has the ability to control other elements with the blessing of the other magic crystals.

-Malaya looks up to Amihan and the other Queens (Will most likely have a Sebek attitude)

-She's mostly a dandere and a bit of a kuudere

-She is very fluffy

- She can turn human without pulling out her ugat-pak.

Mulawins has a small population, they are basically endangered and are rarely seen.

I made this story cuz it's been stuck in my head for how many months now. And I was a Mulawin and Encantadia fan when I was a kid, so I wanted to have a cross-over. But I will mostly focus on the world Twisted Wonderland.

Mulawins >> mulawin.fandom.com/wiki/Mulawins

You can find this story on Qoutev, title “Haring Ibon”

I accept criticism nwn

TAAL BATANGAS

📍HISTORY:

The town of Taal was founded by Augustinian friars in 1572. In 1575, the town transferred later to the edge of Domingo Lake, now Taal Lake in 1575. In 1754, Taal Volcano erupted endangering the town of Taal which stood at present day San Nicolas. Threatened by the new danger, the townspeople, together with the Agustinian Francisco Benchucillo, sought refuge in sanctuary of Caysasay. In 1955 the northern barriors of San Nicolas, Gipit, Bangin, Pansipit, Calangay, Sinturisan, Talang, Abilo, Balete, Bancora, Saimsim, Maabud, Mulawin, Tambo, Clumala, Alasas, Calawit, Pulangbato were seperated from Taal and formed into the municipality of San Nicolas.

A dominant feature of the province of Batangas is Taal Lake. It covers an area of 270 square kilometer (100 sq. mi) and is draned by Pansipit River down into Balayan Bay. Pansipit is one of the major ecological highways that allow migration of two fish species: maliputo (Cranx ignobilis) and muslo (Cranx marginalis) which are unique to lake taal.

📍EXPERIENCE A vlog is not something we expect to do in the coming year. Our group isn’t all that interested in vlogging, but once we finished our vlogs it seemed like we all had a great time doing it, and it was both enjoyable and stressful at the same time, which is something we all appreciate. On the way to Taal Batangas town, we’ve all began shooting at Robinson Lipa, where we’ll be discussing how to get there. We were all shy at the start of our first vlog, so it was a lot of fun for us. In the end, though, we will increase our self-esteem! Eventually, after about an hour, we arrived at the Balisong Shop and began interviewing the Balisong salesman. We were all awestruck because this was the first time we had seen the various styles of Balisong. After that, we moved on to the next location we wanted to visit. The Taal Basilica in Taal Batangas, Asia’s largest church, was first shot. During filming in Taal Basilica, we were all awestruck, awed, and stunned by the church’s splendor. We headed to the Caysasay Church in Brgy after filming at Taal Basilica. We all observed the exquisite baroque architecture of the church, as well as the design of the wall and sailing, when filming at Tatlong Maria, Taal Batangas. We decided to get lunch in Brgy after filming. We all enjoyed Tatlong Maria, and it was so wonderful that we were completely satisfied. We proceeded to the Lorenzo Ruiz Steps after dining; it was our first time seeing the Lorenzo Ruiz Steps, so we were astonished and impressed. We decided to take a group photo before moving on to the next location, and we must say that it was both memorable and stress-free. It was a great event for us and we continued on to our next destination: Barong Tagalog gown rental. We were all awestruck and delighted by the variety of gown and barong Tagalog designs. The only word we could say was “wow.” We all desired we could wear the rental gown, but we had to pay first. Our final decision was to take a break after an hour of walking and admiring the grandeur of historical sites before waiting for the lights to come on (Pailaw sa taal). They finally turned on the city of lights after nearly half an hour of waiting, and we began shooting our final vlog. We’ve all shared happy and amazing moments, learned more about the town’s history and tourism attractions, and gained a lot of self-assurance as a result.

📍SWOT ANALYSIS 📌Strength ⏺Taal known as the Traditional known for crafting Balisong ⏺Known as Barong capital of the Philippines ⏺The Taal church is the biggest Church in Asia ⏺Preserved the ancestral houses, Museum and Churches in the heritage Village ⏺Celebrating of Unique Festivals (Taal Elpasubat Festival) that highlight cultural, historical, culinary arts and crafts ⏺Presence of Unique establishments and resort 📌Weaknesses ⏺Weak promotional activities for tourism industry ⏺Noise and Smoke pollution on the main road disrupting tourist activity ⏺Various entry points ⏺Presence of Unaccredited accommodation establishment ⏺Presence of unrestored and or abandoned ancestral houses that pose danger to public safety ⏺No existing practice/ method for environmental matters such as waste management

📌Opportunities ⏺Strategic location/ presence of expressway and goods roads ⏺Neighboring towns with known tourist spots 📌Threats ⏺Modernization ⏺Extreme climate changes affecting the old structures

📍TOURISM SUSTAINABILITY OF THE TOWN

A historical land mark and ancestral houses make Taal the top tourist attraction in Batangas. Their town’s tourist sustainability is based on four factors: In the first place, the Old Houses and Churches have been preserved so that visitors or tourists can see them. And, of course, it’s also for the next generation to see. Festivals and Christmas are only a few of the events that take place there. Their time and effort were devoted to putting up Christmas lights and pyrotechnics in the evening to entice additional guests. Second, because it is their product, they are confident in selling it. We everyone know that Taal’s primary product is Balisong, which is made from Batangas. Everyone in Taal knows who made it and when it will begin. Then there’s the wedding gown, which is known as the Burdang Taal Wedding Gown, and the barong, which is also known as the Philippines’ capital of the Barong. Because their product was so good, you’d think that someone would be able to test it out and become famous in that area. This creates a sense of attractiveness in their locations as well. Third, there are people. The local residents were fantastic since even the children knew the history of every church and museum in the area. They also pay attention to the historical landmarks that are located there. The government, on the other hand, is in charge of making the locations more appealing, as well as managing the facilities within the taal. Seeing Taal, the nicest sight in Batangas this year, has taught me a lot about how to maintain a tourist attraction in a place.

📍RECOMMENDATION FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE TOWN

Development of Taal product for souvenir items

Promotion of Tourism, products and services of Taal

Additional entertainment for tour around the town

Eco tourism protection and promotion

Provide easy access to the town

AUTOBIOGRAPHY

In the tapestry of existence, I, Reslyn E. Umipig, known affectionately as Lyn, emerged into this world on a crisp January 19th, 2006, in the enchanting town of Ilvita Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro. My parents, Restie B. Umipig and Pedrilyn N. Echon, bestowed upon me a name that would become the anthem of my journey.

From the tranquil landscapes of Occidental Mindoro, my spirit embarked on a waltz through life, guided by the currents of destiny. Imus Cavite became my sanctuary, a vibrant canvas upon which I painted the hues of my dreams.

As the chapters of my education unfolded, I traversed the corridors of knowledge, leaving footprints of growth and discovery. Mulawin Elementary School became my haven, where the seeds of wisdom were sown within my young mind. Like a fledgling bird taking flight, I soared to Sta. Cruz National High School, where the harmonies of the drum and lyre group became the soundtrack of my adolescence. A symphony of dedication and passion led me to receive an award, a shimmering testament to my commitment.

With each milestone reached, I ascended the staircase of academia, graduating from General Tomas Mascardo National High School, a beacon of accomplishment illuminating my path. Since Grade 11, I have found solace within the hallowed halls of Gen. Pantaleon Garcia Senior High School, where I currently reside as a luminary in the HUMSS strand. Like a weaver of knowledge, I intertwine the threads of humanities and social sciences, crafting a tapestry of understanding.

Beyond the realm of textbooks and exams, my heart dances to the rhythm of my passions and interests. The waters beckon me, and I dive fearlessly into their depths, my love for swimming guiding me through life's currents. In the realm of creativity, I become a poet, my words flowing like a gentle breeze, painting vivid landscapes of emotions. With each stroke of my pen, I script verses that dance upon the pages, a symphony of thoughts and dreams. The pages of books become portals to new worlds, where I lose myself in the embrace of literature. And with an artist's touch, I breathe life into blank canvases, transforming them into masterpieces of design. Violet, black, and red become the palette of my soul, each color representing a facet of my being.

Yet, behind the mask of laughter and humor, I bear the weight of a hidden tale. Like a moon veiled by clouds, I sometimes find solace in the shadows. From the fragments of a broken family, I gather strength, my spirit resilient and unyielding. Though life's challenges may cast shadows upon my path, I remain steadfast, my gaze fixed upon the stars that guide me. With unwavering determination, I embrace my dreams, aspiring to become a healer, a beacon of hope in the realm of medicine. With each step, I move closer to my destiny, ready to extend a helping hand to those in need.

As the chapters of my autobiography continue to unfold, the pages are filled with the essence of resilience, passion, and the unwavering pursuit of my true purpose. With each turn of the page, I embrace the magic of my existence, ready to script my own destiny amidst the symphony of life's grand orchestra.

Meanwhile in Evergreen Harbor, Grace spends time with her best friend Cara Mulawin. Cara had moved from the Philippines to Simland with her dads when she was 4, and she and Grace met at a playground and became fast friends after Grace saw a shy girl sitting on the swings and despite being shy herself she got up the courage to go and talk to her. They found out they both loved mickey mouse movies and the color pink and that was enough to bond them then, and they’re inseparable to this day.

"So, your girlfriend is coming over today, right?" Cara asks in the present, and Grace nods, a smile coming over her face. "I can't wait to see Issy. We had a bit of an awkward moment a couple days ago but we talked and it's all good." Cara makes a doubtful face but keeps her comment to herself. Ever since Grace told her about Iseul, and that Iseul is friends with her ex-fling Megan, Cara's been wary of her and worried that Iseul will break Grace’s heart.

Iseul comes over later that afternoon, and she kisses Grace before Grace ushers her inside. Iseul says hi to Grace’s cat Aloo, and then she sees Cara. "Hey, I'm Iseul Kang." She says in a friendly voice. "I know. I'm Cara Mulawin." Cara says, crossing her arms as she scrutinizes Iseul. Iseul raises a brow but tries to remain polite. "Right. It's so nice to meet you, Grace talks about you all the time." Cara's face softens and she gives Iseul a small smile. "Well, I am her best friend." She says, and Iseul grins. Cara bites her lip as Iseul flirts with Grace, trying to push down the jealous feelings.

Cara's been in love with Grace since secondary school, but she hasn't told her yet. She was going to tell her last year, but Grace got a job across the pond, at a laboratory she'd been wanting to work at forever. Cara had been sad but supported Grace going, hoping that maybe she'd work up the courage and ask her out when she came to visit. One day a couple months ago, Grace called, very excited, saying she went out on a date with a cute woman named Iseul Kang, and spent so long waxing poetic about Iseul’s hair and eyes, and her style, and the way her voice was warm and low, and Cara had listened but her heart broke as Grace told her she might really like Iseul and maybe she's the one.

Cara shakes herself off from these thoughts now, and forces a smile as Iseul tells her a funny story about Grace.

Theme: "Life is Spectrum"

Title: "The Unseen Battles of Mine"

Hi! I'm sitting outside our house mesmerized by the stars, yes stars because it's 11:30 at night. I always do this because I can't sleep as if something is messing with my mind. As I remembered all the things I've been through, I can't believe that I was able to handle all of that. I know you all want to know what I've been through and who I really am? Let's start with the day i was born into a colorful world but i have to face so many trials and sorrows in my life. In the province of Pangasinan, City of San Carlos, it was the evening of september 19, 2004. My mom's screams could be heard echoing in our house because of the pain she felt as if her body was being torn apart, then finally I came out from her. My body was still full of blood as I cried, "it's a girl" said the midwife. "What will you name her?" The midwife asked. My mom looked at the TV show she used to watch, it's called Mulawin and said the name Alwina, "I'll name her Alwina".

Before my mom gave birth to me, she and my dad separated, so three months later my mom left me with my grandparents because she had to work for me. Because my grandparents raised me, I am happy with them. One day, when I was just 3 years old, I was with my mom's siblings. I was surprised and happy because someone came to our house, she brought toys and food so I immediately ran and happily hugged her while shouting "sister Diana, sister Diana, sister Diana". Then after 1 week she needs to go back to work. Yes, I thought she was my sister because I didn't know that she was my mom because the parents I grew up with were my grandparents. After a month, she got married with her boyfriend. I didn't mind it because I think she was just my sister at that time.

After 4 years, I was 7 years old when I found out that she was my mom. Because she took me with her where she and her husband worked and lived with my other two siblings. My mom explained to me that they are my parents. I lived for a year in La Union with them and I attended grade 1 there. But I was having a hard time adjusting and I was looking for my grandparents so mom sent me back to Panggasinan. I lived with my grandparents again and I had a happy childhood because I had a lot of friends and playmates there. But sometimes I used to cry because my mom's siblings always teased me and they always said that I was adopted and that I was just picked up from the trash. Of course I believed them, because I was young that time and I didn't know what was true.

When I was 9 years old, it was december 16, 2013. My grandmother took me and we took the bus, I was very happy even though I didn't know where we were going. After more than five hours we arrived at the place where there was a lot of shouting here and there, we walked for a few minutes and we arrived at a house. I don't know whose house it was but we were made to sit inside and I just quietly listened to what they were talking about, then suddenly this man got my attention. He was just looking at me while he's crying and don't know why he's looking at me like that. He slowly walked closer to me and stretched out his two hands in front of me as if to indicate that he wanted to hug me

but I just stared at him until he spoke and said the words "my daughter, can you hug daddy?" He said while crying. I don't know what I should do, I can't understand what's happening because I was just a 9 year old kid. I thought my parents were my grandparents but it was not then suddenly this unfamiliar man saying that he was my father. Then after a few hours my grandmother explained everything to me, I'm trying to understand everything but I'm still a kid. My grandmother left me with him, I cried but after an hour I stopped crying because he comforted me and I felt safe. It was strange that I felt comfortable with a person that I just met an hour ago. I stayed there for a week and I enjoyed playing and talking about what's happening in our lives. That was our first and last meeting. He promised that we will meet again but until now, here I am waiting for him to meet me and he never came.

I'm still living with my grandparents, in my high school life there were so many questions in my mind. Why did my mom and dad separated? What if they didn't? And what kind of life do I have? I think we had a happy family if they didn't break up or not. But I can't change the things that already happened. Since I turned 13, I overthink a lot most of the time. My mom went on vacation with my siblings and her husband who I now call dad here at my grandparents' house. My step dad is kind and he treats me like his own daughter but sometimes I felt like I'm not belong with them because I was so hurt that I can't forget what my brother did to me, he pushed me and he said the words "his not your dad because you are adopted" I fell down and hit the floor because of what he did. I was about to cry but I stopped because I didn't want them to see that I was hurt by what he said, I needed to act like nothing happened even though it was so painful that I felt as if my heart had been stabbed so many times and I just ran away from them as if nothing had happened. My step dad saw everything that when I came home after I calmed myself, my brother came to me and apologized for what he did, it can be seen on his face that he just finished crying because my step dad beat him because of what he did to me.

In 2021, this is the year I seem to be lost. My family and my grandparents are in Cavite because they work there. In the middle of pandemic, I was left in Pangasinan because I was still studying there. My aunt lives near my house but she rarely visits me. Then suddenly, I lost interest in everything, I don't know why. I feel like I'm unwanted because I have no one at home but myself, I feel like I'm being left alone. I don't go out of the house often anymore, when I go out, I just go to my favorite palace, our back house. I go there every time the sun goes down, l will just sit in the swing while watching the beautiful and colorful sunset, all I can hear is the flowing of the river, the chirping of birds, and the rustling of leaves due to the cold wind. Feeling the cold breeze touching my skin and it's like hugging me. I couldn't sleep every night because there were so many things running on my head. I also stopped studying when I was in grade 11. I feel like I'm drowning in darkness and sadness. I tried to be happy and have fun with my friends, we always go out to drink alcohol but that's not enough because those are only temporary happiness. After that happiness, when I got home I'm still alone and I feel empty. It's gotten to the point where I have suicidal thoughts, and I tried to kill myself but I think God has a plan for me because he doesn't let me take my life, my aunt always their to stop me. Until my aunt decided to send me here to Cavite, because she thought that my life would be better here with my family, I told my aunt not to tell my parents what happened in Pangasinan because I don't want my parents to worry and have a problems about me.

I decided to continue my studies and I promised myself that I'll do better and make my parents proud. I built a new and stronger me, now I'm here as a grade 12 student on Gen. Pantaleon Garcia Senior High School, currently living in Golden City, Anabu II-F, Imus Cavite. My name is Alwina A. Esnardo, 19 years old, you can call me, win for short because no matter how difficult life's challenges are, I will try to win every battle of my life. I will keep fighting for my bright future. I realized that I just need to face the problems and trials that God gives me with strength, love, trust and faith in every plan he made for me. I just need to look on the brighter side of my life. I am very thankful to the people who made me feel that I am important and I am part of their lives. I am also thankful to the new people I met and became my friends when I first entered this school, thank you because you made me feel loved and you didn't make me feel unwanted. Thank you for being part of my life and journey. I always remember these reminders "God will not put you in that situation if you can't overcome it", and "You may lose your petals but you'll bloom again".
