ANG PAG BALIK SA KAHAPON (the return to yesterday)

Jonel_Sevandra
The year is 1884. Beneath the simmering unease of Spanish colonial rule in the quiet coastal town of Zambales, hope flickers in the most unexpected of places: an eleven-year-old orphaned foundling named Iñigo. But Iñigo carries a secret that belies his tender years – the vivid memories of Victor Reyes, a 21st-century Filipino soldier thrust into this unfamiliar past. Trapped in a child's frail body, Victor grapples with the ethical burden of his anachronistic knowledge, determined to remain a silent observer. Yet, the palpable injustices he witnesses and his innate sense of duty compel him to act in subtle ways, offering quiet wisdom and unexpected insights to the struggling community. Soon, whispers begin to circulate of "Tandang Kidlat" – Old Lightning – an enigmatic figure offering guidance and protection in the face of oppression. Is the unassuming Iñigo the source of this burgeoning legend? And what is the true "lihim" – the secret – of this "Old Lightning" that could ignite the flames of revolution and forever alter the destiny of the Philippines?

Betrayal: Married To My Enemy After Divorce

Rosalie had spent the last two years devotedly caring for her husband, William, after he was injured in an accident—an accident that happened just as he was about to divorce her for not being able to give him an heir. But everything she believed in shatters when she discovers the cruel truth; William—the very same man who whispered promises to her ears, kissed the ground she walked on when he was courting her—had been faking his paralysis and cheating on her the entire time, with her best friend. The betrayal hit harder than the heartbreak she felt when William had suggested a divorce. “You shouldn’t be surprised. You can’t give me a child,” he said coldly, his voice like ice. Then, with no remorse, he threw the divorce papers in her face. “Let’s finish what we started two years ago. Let’s get a divorce.” Heartbroken but resolute, Rosalie wiped away her tears, signed the papers, and silently vowed to make him regret ever tossing aside her love and sacrifice. She returned to the powerful, wealthy family she had once walked away from—the family that had pampered her, begged her not to leave. Back then, she had wanted to build her own name, live a life untouched by privilege. A name she had tossed aside the moment she met William. Now, barely catching her breath, she faces a new twist of fate. “You’ll have to replace your sister and marry Matteo Valtieri,” her father who never once raised his voice at her said, his tone leaving no room for argument. “It’s the only way to solidify our family’s alliance.” Matteo Valtieri—a cold-hearted mafia boss who got what he wanted and eliminated anyone who stood in his way—couldn’t care less about the marriage. But despite their agreement to stay out of each other’s lives, he found himself drawn to Rosalie, and when he found out that she’d been cheated on by the man she once gave everything to, something in him snapped. Rosalie, too, found herself falling for Matteo—until she remembered he’d murdered someone close to her heart. And that was a truth she couldn’t ignore.
