Diwata: Redemption of Morning is a short animation introducing the descendants of ancient Philippine Diwatas into the new age. It's a fairly large file, so unfortunately, I recommend downloading it at high bandwidth level. Be patient, it may take a couple minutes. The underlying message. COMING SOON: The second installment of the Diwata chronicles. More of them are introduced. Boundaries of their micro-cosm are explained...

"Our Myths and legends are fast disappearing. We are losing these stories because of our preference for fairy tales from the western world. If we allow these stories to disappear, not only do we deprive ourselves, but we also rob our children and the next generations of the truth. The Philippines had its own rich culture and heritage until the Spaniards came to steal our land, enslave our people and damage our culture." - Jose Rizal, text presented in the insert of Myths and Legends of the Philippines, by Marlene Aguilar-Pollard

OTHER WORKS:    Summoning of the Antig - with actual creatures from our folklore. How to Market the Filipino Male    ... and the ever beloved Jeepnimus Prime    complete with his own TECH SPECS.
