Have you ever wondered how the islands of the Philippine

archipelago created? Here is a myth about our country, the

origin of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

IN THE BEGINNING

Long before, the only inhabitants of the earth were the

Sky and the Sea. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a great colorful
bird appeared that flew between the vast sky and the boundless
sea.

The bird kept on flying and soon got tired. It searched

for a place to land on but there was none. The bird had a
plan. The bird created a word of war between the Sea and Sky
of which of the two was the strongest.

The Sky got angry and proved his strength. It threw

thunderbolts at the Sea. In an instant, the Sea sent huge
waves against the Sky. The war lasted for a long time.

However, the Sky felt that it was losing in the war and
asked help from the great bird. So, the bird dove into the
deep water of the sea and got big pieces of rocks from the
ocean floor.

The bird gave these pieces of earth up to the sky, and

then flung it down on the raging Sea. The Sea quieted.

And thus, the Philippine archipelago was born. At last,

the great bird was able to find place to rest in one of these
islands.
