AESTHETIC MEME [1/4] Philippine Mythology/Folklore

┗ The Legend of Maria Makiling: Once upon a time, a diwata lived in a mountain of Laguna. She was called Maria Makiling. She has light olive skin, long shining black hair and twinkling eyes. She was breathtakingly beautiful. Maria was always about helping other people. One time, the children of a farmer got sick. When he went to Maria to seek help, he was given a bilao full of ginger. The farmer sadly went home carrying the bilao of ginger. When he reached his hut, he was greatly surprised: the ginger had turned to gold! Because of Maria’s kindness, the townsfolk had grown to love her.

PAMANA (Heritage) This national costume was Inspired by Hannah’s favourite toy (gifted by her mother) as a child: a Barbie wearing a Maria Clara Filipiniana, which Manny Halasan took inspiration from and mixed it with his own fond childhood memories of his grandfather’s antique tambourine. Manny Halasan wants us to remember our childhood experiences and look back on our past through this classic traditional Filipiniana.
