The Jaguar's Pact: A Covert Alliance

By Florante Coronel

The Jaguar's Pact is a haunting political thriller set in Mindanao from the late 1970s to the early 2000s-a region scarred by martial law, insurgency, and fragile peace. At its heart is a young heir to a tribal chieftaincy who stumbles upon a buried agreement forged during the Marcos regime: a covert pact between his father and a shadowy military faction, designed to protect ancestral lands at the cost of silence, blood, and complicity.

As he ascends through local politics and underground resistance, the protagonist is drawn into a web of seduction and power-trading secrets with Manila elites, foreign diplomats in Davao, and southern warlords. But when a journalist from Cebu begins to unravel the pact's hidden legacy, long-buried truths threaten to ignite a reckoning that spans generations.

Echoing the trauma of the Jabidah massacre and the systemic marginalization of Mindanao's indigenous and Muslim communities, The Jaguar's Pact interrogates the price of survival, the weight of inheritance, and the perilous dance between loyalty and justice.
