Ancient Philippine Creation Myth: Malakas and Maganda

When the world first began there was no land; there was only the Sea and the Sky, and between them flew a huge,
beautiful Kite (a bird similar to a hawk). One day, the bird, which had nowhere to land and rest, grew tired of flying
about, and in frustration stirred up the Sky in a quarrel against the Sea. The Sky threw rain, thunder, and lightning
that reached the Sea, who in turn rose up and hurled waves and hurricanes that reached the Sky.

In order to restrain its fury, the Sky showered a multitude of massive boulders down upon the Sea, which became
the islands that formed the Philippines. These islands prevented the waters from rising any more - instead causing
them to flow back and forth, and thereby creating the tides. Afterwards, the Sky then ordered the Kite to light on one
of the newly-formed islands to build her nest, and to leave the Sea and the Sky in peace.

Now at this same time the Land Breeze and the Sea Breeze were married, and they had a child which they
named Bamboo. One day, when Bamboo was floating against the sea, it struck the feet of the Kite. Shocked, hurt,
and angered that anything should strike it, the bird furiously pecked at the bamboo until it split in half. Out of one
section came a golden-bronze colored man, named Malakas (Strong One) and from the other half came a similarly
hued woman, named Maganda (Beautiful One).

The earthquake then called on all the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea to see what should be done with these
two, and the animals decided that they should marry each other. Together, Malakas and Maganda had many
children, and from them eventually came all the different races of people.

After a while the parents grew very tired of having so many idle and useless children around. They wished to be rid
of them, but they knew of no other place to send them off to. Time went on and the children became even more
numerous that the parents could no longer enjoy any peace. One day, in an act of pure irritation and
desperation, Malakas seized a stick and began beating them on all sides.

This so frightened the children that they all fled in different directions; seeking some place to hide both within and
outside the house. Some of the children ran into hidden rooms in the house, several concealed themselves within
the actual walls, while others hid in the fireplace. Some ran outside and the rest fled out to the sea.

Now it happened that those who went into the hidden rooms of the house later became the chiefs of the islands
(Maharlikas); and those who concealed themselves in the walls became slaves (Alipins). Those who hid in the
fireplace became the Negritos and the Aetas; and those who ran outside turned into free men (Timawas). As for
those who fled to the Sea; they were gone many years, and when their children eventually came back, they had
become the white foreigners.
