This book was inspired by my beautiful daughter upon my grandfather's passing. At the time, she was only three years old, and she couldn't understand why mommy was so sad, and I couldn't stop crying. She kept trying to soothe my pain, and rubbing my hair saying, 'Don't cry mommy, you can see him again.' I knew I had to find a way to explain death to her, without it being too overwhelming for a child that young.I hope this helps other moms and dads who go through the same thing, trying to explain death to a child... too young to understand. May time help heal your broken hearts, and you feel the love of your relatives' blowing kisses through the wind from Heaven.

Behold Taguwasi, master of the wind... On a nameless mountaintop on the northernmost tip of the known lands, the Lakandian called Lumalindaw meets another of his kind; Taguwasi, master of the wind. The two champions of the Poons befriend one another as Taguwasi invites Lumalindaw to join him and his family to eat, rest, and recover his strength as he continues his search for the witch Muwan. As was common amongst the pre-colonial peoples of the Philippines, Lumalindaw and Taguwasi's family share tales of their lives and adventures as they feast and chew betel nuts together. Lumalindaw tells the tale of his tragic life and exile from his family while Taguwasi and his family tell him of their shared adventures and destinies. The tale of Taguwasi is an adventure story taken from the different points of view of Taguwasi's wife Innawagan, her three brothers, the two magical kumaw birds, the anito Bago, and the Lakandian Taguwasi himself. It is a tale of abduction, heartbreak, and triumph as two magically endowed beings called the manulib, take the beautiful Innawagan captive and set the entire tale into motion. Join the Lakandian Taguwasi and his family as they struggle against impossible odds in their fight to win their freedom from that which holds them bound in darkness as well as their past.

This is an Anthology of Poems written for different Poetry contests on Facebook and Twitter. Others were merely inspired, by one beautiful picture - that I felt needed a poem, to capture the true essence of the image. Letting the inspiration, guide me to something truly magical, for all the viewers to see and feel.

The second Lakandian is here... Somewhere in the Mountain Province amongst the Ga'dang tribes, lies the highland town of Nabbobawan. It's in this particular barangay where our story of the Ga'dang epic hero Lumalindaw begins. As is true with all Lakandians, he is but a few years young and a child to the eyes of many, but his physique is that of a full-grown man. He has already embraced his role as Lakandian and has been revered as the champion of many tribes and peoples across the Cagayan Valley. Lumalindaw is imbued with the power to summon The Voice of Nanolay, giving him the ability to be heard through vast distances and across the dense jungles and staggering mountains. Its intensity can kill birds in the sky or knock down trees with a word. But destiny awaits him in another barangay where he must face a powerful dalaketnon, a creature of darkness and evil. And in this fateful meeting, he will come face to face with his personal realities as his test of strength intersects with the growing challenges of his evolving character. Accompanying him in this adventure is Kidul, an anito trapped inside an enchanted ayoding, more commonly known as a zither, who helps Lumalindaw navigate his adventures as he, the young warrior is slowly coming into his own. Through these mythical exploits, Lumalindaw will learn what it means to be a man worthy of life, love, and the honor of being a true Lakandian.
