Cari amici, quando ero piccola, ero affascinata da un’antica leggenda. La leggenda di Maria Makiling, lo spirito guardiano del Monte Makiling sull’isola di Luzon. Donna bellissima, caritatevole e di buon cuore con la gente del posto. Si racconta che il suo profilo evanescente vagasse per le valli profonde e attraversasse le cascate nelle notti di luna piena, accompagnato dal suono dell’arpa. Pare che un uomo mortale le abbia spezzato il cuore e che oggi sia sempre più difficile intravederla. Anche le fate patiscono le pene d’amore e questo le rende molto umane!
Mount Makiling is a dormant volcano located in Laguna. It is believed to be guarded by Maria Makiling, a fairy or lambana who keeps the green forest of the mountain free from people who wants to destroy it. Legend says some people who have bad motives are not welcome in the mountain. They get lost, or worse, found dead. People, who survived to tell the tale, confirmed the sighting of a beautiful lady that lures them to follow her.
If you are up for an adventure and want to explore the Mt. Makiling, expect a fascinating number of flora and fauna that are endemic to the Philippines, on top of the mountain is a breathtaking view of the Laguna province. After the exploration, you might also want to experience other things Laguna offers.
