IBONG

ADARNA
Once upon a time, in a place called Berbania, there lived a prosperous king
named Fernando and his wife Queen Valeriana. They had three children – the
eldest was Don Pedro, followed by Don Diego and the youngest Don Juan.
One night, King
Fernando had a
nightmare that
made him
depressed and sick
and the only cure
for the King was
the song of the
Ibong Adarna.
The king
commanded his
two older sons
to capture the
Ibong Adarna
but they both
failed and
become stones.
Soon enough, Don Juan set off to capture the magical bird in Mount
Tabor where the bird lived. Don Juan succeeded because of the help of an
old hermit who was pleased by his kindness and generosity.
He was also able to rescue his two older brothers who were
turned to stone by the magical bird as they tried to capture it.
On their way home, the two
older brothers attacked Don
Juan and left him in the forest
half-dead. When they reached
the kingdom, they claimed
credit in capturing the bird
but the Ibong Adarna refused
to sing and the king remained
sick.
However, Don Juan recovered
from his injuries and returned
to the kingdom and made the
Ibong Adarna sing for the
king.
After knowing the truth, King
Fernando ordered Don Pedro
and Don Diego be expelled
from the kingdom. However,
the softhearted Don Juan
asked the king to forgive his
brothers and the king agreed
to his wish.
