Tenur

Persona Non Grata - Vol. 1

After the events of Dr. Jose Rizal's second novel "El Filibusterismo", the story follows the tale of the former students Basilio and Isagani in the aftermath of the failed assassination plot against the most powerful governing political figures in the Delos Santos residence. Now a licensed doctor and a tenured businessman, Basilio and Isagani returns to the Philippines after their 10-year venture in Spain and in the United States to spearhead a large-scale project for the Spanish crown. For the first time in the history of the country, the Spanish government has allowed Indios to pioneer major public works, and the Filipinos, seeing this as major milestone of their race, welcomed it cheering and with open arms. It was also during that same year when the new Captain-General was appointed to the Philippines following the scandal involving the outgoing Captain-General, who sent an entire battalion of Indio conscripts to be deliberately slaughtered by a gang of tulisanes led by a man going by the name 'Matanglawin' (Falcon-eye). Leonardo Montes, the incoming Captain-General, was both feared and loved by his subjects. A close friend of the king and reputed for upholding honor, discipline and goodwill among his subjects, he won the confidence of the Cortes and of the Filipino people when political unrest arose during the tenure of his predecessor when he represented the Philippines in the high courts and won the case. However, Montes, now at the early days of his tenure, is faced with a huge and pressing problem: the widespread opium trade in the Philippines. Chinese immigration to the Philippines has increased at an exponential rate since his predecessor came to power and so is the circulation of the substance within the country. And to make matters worse, strange cases of killings and abductions began to terrorize the country, with the motives of the culprit unknown...

Reap what you sow

Once upon a time in a small village called Lol, there was a man in that village who grew up without having wronged anyone even among his peers. He got married to many wives and never for once happened to have beaten one of his wives even not a single shout at them. In his youthful days, he never had a girlfriend in the sense that he might end up committing to something that might spoil his relations with the community until the day when he just decided to marry, where he walked the bride to the aisle on a colourful traditional wedding. Through his good deeds among his community he rose up to the rank of paramount chief for a good period of time until his reign ended peacefully without much chaos compared to his precedents. To announce the end of his reign and passover of power to the next generation, he held a massive event where people feasted and celebrated his tenure. It is a culture that from the mass celebration event a paramount chief is appointed. However, It happened that his son got the edge in becoming the next Paramount Chief but he dejectedly reject the idea due to the fact that, his son in his youthful days impregnated a lady in the neighborhood and denied responsibility in the sense that the lady was not the choice of a wife he intended to marry. From that moment on, the son never assume the throne because his dad argued he never have the love for the land and its people. If he did love the land and its people he never would've thought of spoiling the same people he aspired to lead. Conclusively, the second runner up to the throne was appointed who rightfully deserve it by virtue of his deeds and acts. Moral of the story: Leadership only goes to people who love the land and its people; people who take responsibility for their acts and deeds. If for once you incited, stole, killed and pit your tribe/clan against another. You totally do not deserve to lead. You're an enemy to the soil of the land and deserve no nothing but nothing.
