• Our forefathers already had their literature, which
reflected in their customs and traditions. They had
their alphabet even before they had colonized. The
Spanish friars burned their alphabet in the belief that
they were works of the devil or were written on
materials that quickly perished, like the barks of trees,
dried leaves, and bamboo cylinders, which could not
have remained firm even if efforts were made to
preserve them. Our unique geographic location is the
reason why we are rich.

which were
yellowish in color, very bright and very hot.
The star children of the moon, however, were reddish and cool.
That
moon was scared that his stars would wither and die if they play
with the
star children of the sun.

behind the
clouds.
