Language Tagalog
 Genre Fantasy, Folk-tale

Ibong Adarna is a 16th-century Filipino epic poem. It is about an eponymous magical

bird. The longer form of the story's title during the Spanish era was "Korido at Buhay
na Pinagdaanan ng Tatlong Prinsipeng Magkakapatid na anak ni Haring Fernando
at ni Reyna Valeriana sa Kahariang Berbanya" ("Corrido and Life Lived by the Three
Princes, children of King Fernando and Queen Valeriana in the Kingdom of Berbania"),
and is believed by some researchers to have been based on similar European stories.
The tale is also known as The Aderna Bird.[1]
The story revolves around the life of King Fernando, Queen Valeriana and their three
sons, Princes Pedro, Diego, and Juan. The three princes vie for the throne and
kingship, and are trained in sword fighting and combat. The most courageous would
inherit the throne. The story is commonly attributed to the Tagalog poet José de la
Cruz or "Huseng Sisiw";[2] however, he has not been proven to be the actual author.
The poem forms part of the curriculum for Junior High School students as well as those
in Grade 7 in the Philippines.

Plot[edit]
King Fernando and his wife Queen Valeriana rule the Kingdom of Berbanya. They have
three children: Don Pedro, Don Diego, and Don Juan. One night, King Fernando
dreams of Don Juan being murdered by two traitors (which would turn out to be his two
older sons), and was so overcome with fright and became so severely depressed that
he would not even eat nor rest. Due to that, He became ill and none of his constituents
are able to cure him. An old doctor advises that the Ibong Adarna, a mythical bird,
would be the only creature that could restore his health by its marvelous songs. He
initially sends out Don Pedro to look for the Ibong Adarna. After three months of
wandering through the forests and thickets, Don Pedro arrives at a golden tree, known
as Piedras Platas. At the foot of the tree, he fell down due to hunger and thirst; But what
he does not know is that the golden tree is where the Ibong Adarna roosts for the night.
By nightfall, the bird flew into the air and sung the first of its seven songs; its melody is
so softly sweet that everyone, including Don Pedro, is lulled into a profound sleep. After
emitting its seventh song of the night, the bird excretes droppings on the sleeping prince
that turned him into stone.
With the disappearance of Don Pedro, King Fernando then sends his second son Don
Diego to search for the bird. Don Diego undergoes the same hardships (but ventures for
five months, two more than Don Pedro) and meets the same fate as his older brother.
After three whole years without hearing any more news, Don Juan, the youngest and
most favored son is (unwillingly, by King Fernando) sent forth also. Don Juan, however,
has the fortune to meet on his way an old hermit who is impressed by the virtues and
good manners of the young prince. The old hermit, knowing the mission on which Don
Juan embarks, puts him on guard against the treacheries of the bird.
The hermit told Don Juan of the golden tree where the famed bird roosts every night
after singing seven songs, warning of the spells in its seven songs which lulls the hearer
to sleep and the excretion which petrifies anyone. He provides Don Juan with
a knife and calamansi lemons,[3] both of which Juan must use to cut seven wounds on
his hands and distill them into the juice of the fruits to create pain that will prevent him
from being lulled by the seven songs. The hermit then gave Juan a golden rope that the
prince must use to bind the bird's legs while it is asleep and place it inside a cage.
Before Juan leaves, the hermit provides him with a bucket which he must use to scoop
water from a well near the tree and pour it over his two petrified brothers to restore
them. Don Juan did as was bidden and soon finds himself in possession of the desired
bird and on his way back to his home country with his two brothers, Don Pedro and Don
Diego. Don Juan's venture in search of the Ibong Adarna lasts for four months in total.
However, on the way back, with his brothers and the Ibong Adarna in tow, Don Juan's
older brothers grow envious; after all, Don Juan has obtained what they were not able
to. Therefore the two older brothers conspired between themselves to do away with
him. Don Pedro suggested that they should kill him, but Don Diego, who was less
brutal, convinced Pedro that it was sufficient to beat him, which they did. After beating
Don Juan to whom they owed their lives, they left him unconscious in the middle of the
road as the two brothers continued on their way to the palace. Once in the palace, they
convinced the king that they never knew what happened to Don Juan, but the bird was
disheveled and did not sing for it awaits Don Juan—its true captor. Don Juan woke
eventually, but could not move due to the pain caused by the beating. He prayed
fervently for the health of the king and the forgiveness of God to his brothers. The same
hermit who gave him advice before catching the bird arrives and heals him magically.
Upon return to the palace, everyone was happy except his two brothers, worried that
Don Juan might tell the king what had happened. The bird then started to sing. Its
enchanted song revealed to the king that Don Pedro and Don Diego beat up Don Juan
and that he was the true captor of the bird.
The two were sentenced to being cut off from the royalty and banished, but they were
reprieved due to Don Juan being forgiving and asking to give them another chance.
They were given one, however, any consequent fault would mean death. They enjoyed
the bird, they did not treat it as a pet, but rather like a person. So they made the three
princes watch over the bird for 3 hours each every day. Don Pedro wanted revenge, so
he conspired again and forced Don Diego to go on board with it yet again. They planned
to trick Don Juan into thinking that under his watch, the bird escaped. They successfully
did it and Don Juan set out to find the bird before the king wakes up. The king finds the
bird missing and so is Don Juan, so he asked the two to find the bird and their brother.
They found Don Juan at Mt. Armenia and decide to settle there, on the beautiful
mountain. They lived happily forgetting trouble from the past. They find a well and
decide to explore the inside, arguing about who goes first. They settle for the idea that
Pedro, the eldest, be the first to descend by means of a cord lowered by the two
brothers who remain above; but he had scarcely gone a third of the way when he feels
afraid and gives the sign for his two brothers to pull him out of the well. Presently, Diego
was let down but he too could not go farther down than half of the way. When it was
Juan's turn to go he allowed himself to be let down to the lowest depths of the cistern.
There the prince discovered two enchanted palaces, the first being occupied by
Princess Juana who informed him she was being held prisoner by a giant, and the
second by Princess Leonora, also the prisoner of a large seven-headed serpent. After
killing the giant and the serpent, the prince tugged on the cord and soon came up to the
surface of the earth with the two captive princesses, whom his two brothers soon
wanted to take away from him. Diego desired Princess Juana for himself and Pedro
wanted Princess Leonora. Before the parting, however, Leonora discovered that she left
her ring in the innermost recesses of the well. Juan voluntarily offered to take it for her
but when he was halfway down, the two brothers let go of the rope he was descending
causing him to fall to the bottom of the well. Not long after, wedding bells were rung in
the palace; Diego married Princess Juana. Before casting her lot with Prince Pedro,
Princess Leonora requested her marriage to him be delayed for a term of seven years
because she might still have a chance to unite with Don Juan.
Don Juan, thanks to Leonora's enchanted ring found in the well, could avail himself of
the help of a wolf which cured him of his wounds, fix his dislocations, and bring him to
the medicinal waters of the Jordan, and took him out of the well. Already torn between
all hope of ever finding the Adarna, Don Juan resolved to return to the Kingdom. But to
his confusion, he was unable to find his way. No one could tell him precisely which was
the way that would lead him to the kingdom of his father. While sleeping under a tree,
the Adarna awakens him and convinces him to turn his back on Leonora because Maria
Blanca, the daughter of King Salermo in Reino de Los Cristales was better. He came to
a hermit that consulted all of the animals from the surrounding areas, but none of them
could tell the prince the direction towards Reino de Los Cristales. But the king of all
these animals, a swiftly soaring eagle (real name Olicornio), having compassion for his
troubles, offered to take the prince to wherever he desired. After an epic flight, the
prince and the eagle came to a distant crystal lake, whose shores they landed to rest
from their long and tiresome flight. Then the eagle related to his companion the secrets
of the crystal lake. This was the bathing place where, in certain hours of the day, the
three daughters of the most powerful and most feared king of the surrounding regions
used to dive into the water and swim; and for this reason, it was not proper for the
prince to commit any indiscretion if he desired to remain and see the spectacle of the
bath. Don Juan remained and when the hour of the bathing arrived he saw plunging into
the pure crystal water the figures of the three most beautiful princesses whom his sinful
eyes had ever seen. He then secretly hid and kept one of the princess's dresses. When
the princess noticed the theft, her two sisters had already gone. The prince hurriedly ran
to her and on his knee begged her pardon and placed at her feet her stolen dress and
at the same time poured forth the most ardent and tender professions of love. Pleased
by his gentleness and gallant phrases, the princess also fell in love with him; but she
advised him that it would be better for him to leave before her father would come to
know of his intrusion. If he did not do so he would be converted into another piece of
stone for the walls of the enchanted palace in which they live, in the same way, that all
the other suitors who aspired for their hands had been transformed. On being informed
of the adventure of the bold prince, the king sent for him.
Don Juan, who would risk everything for the privilege of seeing his beloved, presented
himself to the king in spite of the princess' warning. The king, greatly impressed with the
youth's tact and self-possession, chose to give him a series of tests both gigantic and
impossible for ordinary mortals. After completing these trials the king was satisfied and
offered Don Juan his daughter. However, the princess, fearing that her father might
resort to a new trick to foil their happiness, ordered the prince to direct himself to the
royal stables in order to take the best horse and have him ready for them to flee on that
same night. Unfortunately, the prince in his hurry, took the wrong horse and the king
came immediately went in pursuit of the fugitives. The king, riding the best horse,
pursued them tenaciously but through the use of cunning magic, the princess helped
them to outrace the king.
When at last they found themselves safe and free, it did not take them long before they
could reach the portals of the Berbanian Kingdom. But the prince, alleging that he
should have such preparations duly made for entry into the royal palace as are
appropriate for her category and dignity, left Doña Maria on the way promising to return
for her once he had informed the committee to receive her. Once in the midst of the
happiness of palace life, Don Juan soon forgot his profession of love to Doña Maria. He
became dazzled by the beauty of Princess Leonora who had been waiting for him
during all the days of his absence and he sought her hand in marriage while Doña Maria
was impatiently waiting for his return. When she came to know of the infidelity of Don
Juan, the pilgrim princess made use of the talisman which she always carried with her
and adorned it with the most beautiful royal garments and carried in a large coach
drawn by eight sorrel-colored horses with four palfreys, she presented herself at the
door of the palace practically inviting herself to the royal wedding of Prince Juan and
Princess Leonora.
Out of respect for a so beautiful guest from foreign lands and on the occasion of the
wedding itself, there were celebrated tournaments, in one Doña Maria succeeded in
inserting as one of the number dance of a negrita and a negrito created from nothing
through her marvelous talisman. In the dance the negrita carried a whip in her hand and
with it she pitilessly lashed her negrito partner, calling him Don Juan, while she
proceeded to remind of all the vicissitudes of fortune undergone by him at the side on
Doña Maria, the part which was played by the whipping negrito: the scene of the bath,
the different tests to which he had been subjected by her father, the flight of both that
was full of accidents, and his cruel abandonment of her on the way. Every crack of the
whip which fell on the shoulders of the negrito was felt by Don Juan as if it was him who
was being whipped. After all this, Don Juan finally remembered Doña Maria. He then
gave Princess Leonora and the kingdom of Berbania to Prince Pedro while he and
Doña Maria returned to Reino de los Cristales. When they came back, they found the
kingdom in a mourning state, following the deaths of Doña Maria's father and sisters.
The kingdom rejoiced when they came back and crowned them their king and queen.
