Activity. (Urduja) jeantianzon https://padlet.com/abelardobalboa001/rdluzj231gsjin74/wish/2703004662 I choose Urduja to be the one of my example in this activity.

Urduja was a woman warrior who personally took part in the fighting and engaged in duels with other warriors. She was quoted as saying that she will marry no one but him who defeats her in duel. Other warriors avoided fighting her for fear of being disgraced.

As it reflects that women can lead. Urduja  can be an inspiration for us females who's been degraded in this society just because of their gender. Like Urduja, all females can be everything the way "Men" can do because we are also have or had a capability to take actions, to be a leader, to be stronger, to have knowledge and to have a power to lead, help, work and just be a normal functioning women that "Men" always do and to show that we are not weak and we can have a contribution in this society.]]> 2023-09-14 01:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/abelardobalboa001/rdluzj231gsjin74/wish/2703004662 Borile, Jhoshier Jeloh C. - Rajah Indarapatra https://padlet.com/abelardobalboa001/rdluzj231gsjin74/wish/2703656006 He is the one who killed the monster eating humans in their land. Before he fought the monsters making trouble in their land, he sent his brother Suliman first, who unfortunately died while battling with the big bird monster. Rajah Indarapatra took revenge and killed those monsters that his brother wasn’t able to kill. It was said that the small islands and hills around Lanao Lake came from dirt/clay that Umacaan hurled to try to kill Indarapatra. But ultimately, Indarapatra was able to win the battle with the help of his magic sword. 

This epic features this strong, fearless, and honorable Rajah who came from Mindanao, particularly in Lanao Lake of Lanao del Sur. We can see from the story how a leader should act in order to protect his land and people, and this should be the type of leader we elect, the one who fights in front of the battle and not just sitting or watching his people slowly dying while he is experiencing luxurious life.

As such where our Goddess of the Moon is represented, we find it natural to name this new cultivar in recognition to the God of the Sun, Apolaki. Both proudly hailing from the Philippines and a source of horticultural pride.Apolaki is the God of war and the sun, he is the son of bathala, (the supreme deity of the Tagalogs) and the patron of all warriors. It is said that when Bathala went into deep slumber, Apolaki fought his sister Mayari (goddess of the moon & goddess of war) for dominion over the Earth. Their battle resulted in a truce after Apolaki blinded Mayari in one eye. And so they decided to divide their rule with Mayari ruling the night, Apolaki ruling the day.]]> 2023-09-15 05:42:23 UTC https://padlet.com/abelardobalboa001/rdluzj231gsjin74/wish/2705397415 Christopher jade s reyes 11 chico Baranggaw christopherjadereyes https://padlet.com/abelardobalboa001/rdluzj231gsjin74/wish/2705429368 Barangaw has been associated with a lot of good things, but even he too did not escape controversies in the old age.

The goddess punished her and turned her into a half-horse half human with golden hooves and a large horn for her foolishness and cursing her with endless thirst for gold that she will never find, but Barangaw granted the Anggitay a home beneath the rainbow. Due to this, local grandmothers would warn their children never to enter the forest when they see a rainbow unless they want to be spirited away by these mythical nature spirits.]]> 2023-09-15 06:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/abelardobalboa001/rdluzj231gsjin74/wish/2705429368 CABALLES ARJET L./11 Chico/21st Century/LAM ANG https://padlet.com/abelardobalboa001/rdluzj231gsjin74/wish/2706507982 LAM ANG

His adventures begun when his father, Don Juan, set out for a battle but never returned. Barely nine months, Lam-ang goes to search for Don Juan in the highlands where the latter was said to have gone. Aware that her child was a blessed, exceptional creature, his mother Namongan allowed him to go. Lam-ang then went off in search of his father, leaving his grieving mother behind.


He saw his father beheaded and the head put on a spike. While the headhunters were celebrating, in his anger, he challenged all of them to a duel. The headhunters threw spears at him, but he just catches them and throws them back to the headhunters. He defeated the headhunters, killed them all and took his father's head down to the plains.


After he went down the plains, he decided to bathe in the Amburayan River, which the local gals helped him bathe. The dirt was so gross that fishes and animals died upon contact of his bathwater

Born to a noble lineage, Urduja was raised with a fierce sense of duty and an unquenchable thirst for freedom.
The epic of Princess Urduja begins when her kingdom faced a great threat from marauding pirates who sought to plunder her land and enslave her people. Unlike many princesses of her time, Urduja was not content to sit idly in her palace. Instead, she trained in the arts of war, becoming a master of the sword and archery, and she learned to command her troops with skill and wisdom.
When the pirates finally dared to invade her shores, they were met with a force they had never expected. Princess Urduja, clad in armor and wielding her sword, led her army into battle. With her unwavering determination, she inspired her soldiers to fight fiercely, defending their homeland against the invaders.
Urduja's legend grew with each battle she fought, and her name became synonymous with bravery and resilience. She was not just a warrior; she was a symbol of hope and empowerment for her people, especially for women who aspired to break free from societal constraints.
But Urduja's tale is not just one of battles and conquests. She was also a diplomat, forging alliances with neighboring kingdoms to strengthen her people's position in the region. Her wisdom and charisma were as legendary as her martial skills.
Princess Urduja's epic story lives on, inspiring generations of Filipinos to be strong, courageous, and unafraid to chart their own destinies. She reminds us that true heroism is not bound by gender or circumstance but is born from the heart and the indomitable spirit.]]> 2023-09-16 01:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/abelardobalboa001/rdluzj231gsjin74/wish/2706518447 21st Century/Reyes,Kent Justine B./"Baltog" Ibalong Epic/11-Chico https://padlet.com/abelardobalboa001/rdluzj231gsjin74/wish/2707177325 #EpikHero_AKO #ChicoAko #21stCent_Lit #SirAebelle
