Maragtas: Retold by Devin Galloway

By Devin Galloway

Maragtas retells the story of Datu Puti and his companions' journey out of Odtohan and their discovery of what would become the Philippine islands. The story begins with the evil king Makatunao, a man of uncontrolled appetites. Civil war erupts when the king attempts to kidnap one of the datu's wives. After the king's superior forces crush the opposition, the surviving rebels are forced to flee the kingdom in search of a new home where they can live in peace. They travel to Maydia island (now called Panay) and barter with the Ati king Marikudo for the right to settle along the coasts. Their adventures continue as they explore surrounding islands and establish a powerful society.
