Maria Makiling, 2023, oil on canvas, 24" × 36".

"Maria Makiling in Philippine mythology is a diwata (fairy) associated with Mount Makiling in Laguna, Philippines. She is the most widely known diwata in Philippine mythology and was venerated in pre-colonial Philippines as a goddess known as Dayang Masalanta who was invoked to stop deluges, storms, and earthquakes."

Cary Santiago - TernoCon 2018 

In the Philippines, “terno” refers to a woman’s ensemble that consists of matching colors/patterns. … By the late 1940s, the terno’s meaning and silhouette evolved into any Western dress with butterfly sleeves attached to it.

Yay favourite character! So, who's your favourite Greek mythology character (or any mythology, really)? :P

From Filipino mythology!

In Philippine folklore, Oryol the naga was said to be the most terrifying being inside the forest of monsters. Queen of the fearsome mermaids called the Magindara, Oryol was unstoppable, and  Handiong was a beloved king who was set to slay Oryol, knew this.

 Though they battled, Handiong and Oryol came to the realization that they were equals in skill, and stopped and grew to admire each other, and eventually fell in love.
