章 829: At the Foot of Mound Madia-as, Encounter at the Entrance of the Mountain's Secret Domain

Day 206 - 9:21 AM - Base of Mount Madia-as, Central Panay Mountain Range, Panay Island, Philippines

The Panay Island. It was one of many islands in the Philippines rich in ancient Filipino culture, history, and mythology. It was where the tribes that worshiped the Ancient Visayan Gods originated.

Those tribes resisted various terms of foreign occupation and refused to surrender their beliefs and religion. It was unfortunate that despite their loyalty to their faith, they ended up scattering to other places, in the end, burying most of their culture from the current history.

Nonetheless, despite most of those tribes leaving their homeland, the landmarks that represented their culture remained.

It was like how the second highest peak in the Visayas stood tall, the sleeping volcano, the Mount Madia-as.
