questions unfolding

The site that I recently discovered and posted in the previous blog had actually answered once held questions in my quest for personal research, that obviously the mainstream educational system in this country would deem too insufficient to provide.

From my post in our ongoing discussion in the pinoyexchange.com thread Out of Taiwan Theory versus Out of Sundaland(Mu) Theory, Origin of the Filipinos with Albertus magnus:





Albertus both your research and mine are indeed starting to link up. From my experience on personal research, my gauge and basis on its accuracy is when, despite the distance, the vastness, the separation of the sources, it is the accurate ones that amazingly fit in like jigsaw puzzle and stick up over the rest.

You once posted a link that described the alliance between the Templars and the certain rulers of the Muslim empire. This actually answered my personal question about the claim that the Templars may have arrived in our islands, even before the Spanish colonizers came. I was intrigued, how could the Templars arrived here when during those times this archipelago was blocked from the West with the rising power of the Muslim empire?

Until the link that you posted provided the clue:by the Templars forging alliance with the Muslim empire that otherwise would have been blocked had they been ordinary fleet from the Christian West.

Whew! this is very interesting we're like impromptu detectives here with these treasure trove of information that can only be revealed by those who seek and not merely rely on the mediocre, partially supressed and definitely incomplete information about our history by mainstream historical sources as if it was their sole 'gospel truth' :lol

I also sought advice from my friend in Europe, and he mentioned that the Templars that once we were apprehensive about, may have basis for certain secret society did have the benevolent intention, despite the sheer complexity of it, when the time comes that Humanity will finally be freed from the cunning manipulation of those malevolent financial oligarchs with vile agenda of enslaving humanity. But there indeed existed factions within these secret societies, so indeed we must remain in constant vigilance from differentiating the "good guys" from the "bad guys." Here's an excerpt from the link that I discovered:

"If Faction One - the international bankers who we call the New World Order - wins, a one world government will be implemented and humanity will become slaves... at least the ones who survive the purge... and I will bet you that YOU and I won't be amoung the survivors!"

"If Faction Two wins, there is a plan to take the money that has been stolen from the people of the world, and give it back to the people of the world."

Here is another excerpt that would differentiate the "good guys" from the "bad guys":

The monarchs of Europe during the middle ages, were bleeding the peasants dry. All land, animals, plants and trees belonged to the "King". The peasants could not hunt, gather food or build shelter to provide for themselves or their family. Had there been no sovereign, the peasants would have used the things God provided in nature to feed, house and clothe themselves. With the King ruling all property, the peasant could not survive unless the King decreed it. This massive injustice to the common man, was the reason a benevolent group of minor royals and clergy created the original Knights Templars.

These researches fused together have profoundly answered previous questions that unfolded upon my quest, like why were there indigenous peoples especially in Mindanao who exhibited caucasian features, being tall and fair-skinned? This excerpt answers it:

When the Templars knew that they needed to stop their work and go into hiding, they put together a fleet of ships that carried their treasures to the Philippines. This occurred shortly before their order was wiped out.The Templars knew what was coming and they planned their own exit. They planned it in such a way that they were able to secure all the documents they had found in King Solomon's Temple. Some they stored in the salt mines in Austria, others they took with them to the Philippines.

The gold the Templars brought to the Philippines was added to the treasures that were already there.Many of the Templars stayed with the treasure and married the daughters of the Priests from Mu... now called tribal chiefs.

That excerpt also provided answers to my personal question, how come some of the indigenous peoples, especially revealed by a Datu whom I met in Bukidnon, Mindanao, practice a religion almost similar to Christianity even before the Spanish colonizers arrived? The Templars, as it was mentioned above, carried the treasures in their fleet of ship and it occured shortly "before their order was wiped out," that was before the tragic year 1307. Definitely they may had also instilled Christianity, and a much older version at that, among the indigenous peoples prior to the arrival of Spanish colonizers in 1521!

It also further concretize that the islands, especially ancient Mindanao may have been known by the Templars since ancient times as they had in their possession documents from Solomon's court that further provided clue with the claim that ancient Mindanao may actually be the fabled sources of Solomon's gold known as the land of Ophir! It also linked up with the documentary film by the Probe Team Gintong Pamana about discoveries of excellently crafted pre-colonial gold artifacts in Surigao. Witnessing the sheer quality of those intricate artifacts by our ancestors would indeed spread throughout the ancient world for excellent craftsmanship!

I posted the link on my maharlikan blogsite and highlighted the essential parts for easier reference.

We seem to be making history right here in this thread and we have tangible proofs. Rejoice! we are part of its revelations.

is this country the ancient Treasury of vast, fantastic wealth that dated back since ancient Lemuria (MU) ?!? (And other really weird stuffs)

There is a very intriguing link I discovered during my personal research. It seemed plucked out straight from some fantastic fantasy or scifi story, and yet it claimed itself so part of this very physical dimension.

It seemed to blur one's boundary between fantasy and reality, as if with glaring conviction that the usual clich'e that "Fact is stranger than fiction" rings true once again.
And it involves this country and its people.
It seemed to provide answers to one's long unanswered questions in a package fantasticaly presented with gold wrappers and strings, yet at the same time the package opens up to far more mysteriously profound dimensions that can leave the receiver, awestruck.

It reminded me of a phrase from my poem "Questions," that such answers are like questions waiting to unfold.



Is this country the planet's Treasury of vast, fantastically untold wealth that dated since the ancient times from the legendary, lost continent of MU to our ancestor's pre-colonial wealth famed by the ancient explorers from Hindu, Chinese, Greek and even from King Solomon's court, and even from gold treasures sourced from as far as the Aztecs to British, Chinese, Austrian treasuries in WW2?

Did a secret society of Templars already established presence in the islands even before the first Spanish expedition arrived in the country on 1521?
Will these explain why some members of indigenous peoples of the country, particularly the tribes found in Mindanao, sometimes exhibit caucasian features, and even practice a religion akin to Christianity even before the Spanish colonizers arrived?
Are the Templars the notorious global financial oligarchs that caused much offense against the country, or were they themselves victims of frame up by the Oligarchs?

What do the Mongols, the Habsburgs, and the King of Spain, Philip II from whom this country was named, have in common?

Has the once mighty Federal Reserve already crumbled, and that this country had played a vital role to its downfall? Or was it returned to its rightful owner?

Who are the bad guys? Who are the good guys?

Are these indeed facts, or are these rumors?

As the adage saith, "Those who know, do not speak, those who speak, do not know." But then, that only applies to those who do.
Do you?



Excerpt from the discovered link:

With the FED system gone who/what replaces it? Bad or not this is "our" system getting replaced and all we have known for our entire lifetimes. Whoever/whatever is big enough, strong enough to overturn this system is the future controller of the world, our world, our country.


We better be praying it is a benevolent force as the golden rule will apply, he who has the gold makes the rules. We know so much about "the bad guys", about the current corrupt system.

But what do we know about the "good? guys", the replacement system?


The Coat of Arms of Phillip the Good,
The Founder of the Order of the Golden Fleece, OGF


Casper wants to know about the people who are responsible for killing the Federal Reserve. Who are they? Who could have been big enough and strong enough to overturn the FED. What do they believe? "...he who has the gold makes the rules."

I am happy that Casper has finally asked this question.

Explaining this to someone who is not familiar with my personal story and the articles I have written for the last 12 years, is not going to be an easy task.

If Casper had asked this question a few years ago, I would have started my answer by explaining who Faction Two is, where they came from and what they have been doing for the last 100 or so years.

However, over the last 12 years I have learned a lot, and in the last few months, it has come to my attention that the origins of Faction Two go back FAR longer than I had ever imagined. They go back to ancient times where they are still veiled in mystery.

Who is responsible for destroying the Federal Reserve? As I said earlier, a few months ago I would have answered, "Faction Two and the Knights Templars."



Now I realized that the Knights Templars were only one segment in a long line of secret societies who believe in bringing the peoples of mankind together for the common good.

The Knights Templars were founded (according to history books) in 1096. According to a Templar from Salzburg, Austria, the Templar Order was founded in 938 at Larambique, at the foot hills of the massive Mt. Blanc.

The Templars were destroyed by the King of France and the Pope he had placed on the Vatican Throne in 1307.

About one hundred and thirty years later another organization was formed. The Order of the Golden Fleece. This is the organization that I believe dates back as far as Jason and the Argonauts. This is the secret society that I believe has labored behind the scenes to help humanity reach the pinnacle of achievement that our Creator built into our DNA.

From Ancient Greece to Europe, to the far east, then to the new world and on to the Philippines, this secret society has traveled the globe establishing secret satellite societies all around the planet. The name in each country is different. The members of each group have no idea they are connected to a larger, world wide group.

Why do these people remain in the shadows? Because if they didn't they would have been tracked down and killed. Even though their groups are world wide, they have not been strong enough for centuries to take on the wealth and the power of their enemy.

The "Treasury" of this secret group is located in the Philippines. The Philippines are the mountains of the legendary continent of Mu. Mu was host to an advanced civilization that existed at the same time as Atlantis. When the earth changes began, the rulers of Mu built deep underground bunkers in their highest mountains. There they stored the riches of Mu and the technology of Mu.



A priesthood was established to guard the treasure and the secrets. When the Templars knew that they needed to stop their work and go into hiding, they put together a fleet of ships that carried their treasures to the Philippines. This occurred shortly before their order was wiped out.

The Templars knew what was coming and they planned their own exit. They planned it in such a way that they were able to secure all the documents they had found in King Solomon's Temple. Some they stored in the salt mines in Austria, others they took with them to the Philippines.
The gold the Templars brought to the Philippines was added to the treasures that were already there. Many of the Templars stayed with the treasure and married the daughters of the Priests from Mu... now called tribal chiefs.Over the centuries other treasures were brought to the Philippines. Some Spanish Templars who were part of the group sent to South America to raid the Aztec treasures, realized that these treasures needed to be saved. Instead of taking all of the Aztec gold back to Spain, much of it was sent to the Philippines.
The royal treasury of England, which was hidden at the start of WWII in Malaysia, was captured by the Japanese and ended up in one of the Philippine "treasuries". The treasury of the Chinese royal family is also hidden in the Philippines as is much Japanese gold.

Many Templars have married into the tribal bloodlines that are descended from Mu. The men who oversee the gold are of this bloodline.
The Philippine gold will be used to back ALL currencies around the world. It is happening as I write this. Soon there will be many examples of two currencies, the Federal Reserve Notes and gold backed money.
The Philippine gold is protected by MORE than just people and weapons. It is protected by beings that are not of our world.
Another key figure in the secret societies that have worked to bring the people of the planet together for the highest good of all concerned, was Marco Polo. He traveled to the Orient in 1274. He stayed there for 17 years, returning to Venice in 1291. While he stayed in China he was the guest of Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan was the fifth and last Khagan (1260–1294) of the Mongol Empire. In 1271, he founded the Yuan Dynasty, and became the first Yuan emperor. (I am predicting that one of the first gold backed currencies will be the Yuan. Also remember Benjamin Fulford and the Chinese Secret Society he spoke about.).

The Mongol Empire spread all across Eurasia from the China Sea all the way to Hungary. The Hungarian royal family, the Esterhaszys, trace their bloodline to the Khans and the Mongol invaders.

If it had not been for the Esterhaszys, the Habsburgs would never have existed. If it hadn't been for the Habsburgs, King Phillip II of Spain would not have existed.

Greece, China, the Philippines and Austria all connect to a royal bloodline that appears to have been around for thousands of years... maybe tens of thousands of years."The Philippines were named after King Phillip II of Spain who was directly descended from the founder of the Order of the Golden Fleece.



The Order of the Golden Fleece was established in 1430 by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy..."

snip


The ceremonious acts of Phillip The Good in 1430 are documented, "etched in stone". But does the creation of the record Phillip left signify something which began with him? Or do Phillip's records verify something for the first time -- that we know about?
Phillip was surveying a heritage bestowed throughout a long span of "earth time". Do older records from other times and places (as Marco Polo may have circulated) "dot-connect" with Phillip's interest in cultural heritage?

Knights Templars origins are conventionally early 12th century AD, but the Templar Charter dates itself mid-tenth century. Templar lore hails from the days of Solomon. Does OGF lore hail from ancient days of Colchis, or earlier? From days after the Black Sea Flood c5500 BC, or earlier?
From the above post by TheMythSmith


snip

The Philippines were named after Philip II of Spain. Phillip II was a direct descendent of Phillip the Good.

Phillip II was the son of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor.

Charles V was the son of Philip I of Castile, (also called Philip the Handsome) and Joanna the Mad of Castile.

Philip I of Castile was the son of Mary of Burgundy

Mary of Burgandy, called Mary the Rich (13 February 1457 – 27 March 1482), was the only child of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, and his wife Isabella of Bourbon

Charles the Bold was the son of Philip the Good (founder of the Order of the Golden Fleece) and Isabel of Portugal. He was made a Knight of the Golden Fleece just twenty days after his birth.


In 1994, almost 50 years after the end of World War II, and almost 50 years after Austria signed a secret treaty with the Allies, the Austrian gold and the royal treasury were brought home from their hiding place in the Philippines.

At the same time, many of the exiled royal families of Austria, Italy, Romania and other countries, began returning to their homelands. Most of these people had not been home since 1945 or before.

Had the Austrians tried to bring their national treasury home before 1995 (when it actually entered Austria), the secret treaty they signed in 1955, which allowed Austria to become one country again, would have made them give HALF of their National Treasury to Israel.



Austria was not about to give their gold, which has been in Austrian hands for centuries, to Israel. They followed the treaty to the letter and when Israel demanded gold, Austria pointed them to gold accounts of Jews that were held in banks in Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
How did the Austrian treasury get to the Philippines?

The Austrian National Treasure was stolen by Hitler when Germany invaded Austria in 1938. Hitler stored it in his accounts in Swiss banks.

The gold was stolen by a man who was the head of the Knights Templars. The man was a naval hero from WWI. He was an Admiral in the German Navy and the head of their department of Military Intelligence, known as the Abwehr, Admiral Wilhelm Canaris. Canaris is best known for being the brains behind the assassination attempt of Adolf Hitler.

During WWII Admiral Canaris made a trip from Berlin to Spain every two weeks. These trips are written about in a book called The Canaris Conspiracy. What was omitted from the book was the stop in Switzerland to pick up tons of Austrian gold. The gold was taken to Spain where it was loaded onto German submarines and taken to Paraguay. In 1955 the gold was moved to the Philippines.

I wrote the following article to explain to people where the opposition to the New World Order came from:
FACTION TWO -- THE ABWEHR -- KNIGHTS TEMPLARS (views: 25209)
Rayelan -- Sunday, 10 September 2000, 5:19 p.m.

The following quotes were taken from this article. They are not in order!


"The officers who made up the Canaris Conspiracy came from several countries - Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Austria. They were part of the royal families that had made up the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They wanted to end the war and save their countries from the total destruction and enslavement their enemy (the NWO) had in mind for them. These men knew who the real enemy was. Their empire had been destroyed in the late 1890's by the same power that now backed Adolph Hitler."

"The mission of the Federal Reserve System in the United States is to rake off as much American wealth as possible before destroying the sovereignty of the United States and delivering it into a one world government."



"When loyal American military men were approached by the former Canaris conspirators, they quickly understood how American businessmen had sold out their country by creating a banking system that stole the wealth of America and put it in the hands of the same international cabal that was backing Hitler. The international bankers were orchestrating the war, not for conquest of land, but for accumulation of power and money on a worldwide level...AND as another step in creating their New World Order."

"The men and women who make up Faction Two are working for one thing: Their goal is to destroy the New World Order and the international bankers behind it. They seek to restore sovereignty to individual nations and to the individuals who make up the nations."
The Following was written by Admiral Gunther Russbacher, ONI, CIA, an Esterhaszy and a member of the Habsburg royal family.

"Adolph Hitler invaded Austria in 1938 and stole the Austrian treasury, which was transferred to Swiss banks by Hitler himself. Much of the gold in the Austrian treasury was Templar gold taken from King Solomon's Temple. During World War II, even though Admiral Canaris was the head of German Military Intelligence, he made two trips a month to Switzerland and then to the Catalan region of Spain. He was stealing back the Templar gold and storing it in Spain!"
"The Templar gold stayed hidden in Spain until it could be transported by submarine to Paraguay. In 1955, its location was discovered and the gold was moved to the Philippines. In 1994, members of Faction 2, who are Knights Templars, arranged for the Philippine gold to be returned to Austria. In December of 1994, the largest gold transfer in history entered Germany from a gold smelter in Greece. This was the Templar gold."
"Sources have said that this gold will be used to back the new monetary unit of Europe, the Euro. When the Euro is finally backed by gold, it will become the currency of choice for the business World. This will cause the dollar to fall, and according to my sources in Faction 2, the fall of the dollar will mean the end of the Federal Reserve Banking System and its member banks. Hopefully this will also end the international bankers' plans for creating a New World Order."
"Since 1995 a war has been going on in the financial world. Most people are so naive about the way the financial world works that they do not even begin to understand how the war is being fought."

"One of the ways it is being fought is by sucking as many naive investors into the stock market as possible. Once the powers who are fighting this war believe they have sucked up as much money as they possibly can, they will try to engineer a stock market crash in a way that will leave as much money as possible in the hands of their group. In other words, both groups are working to crash the market, destroy their enemy, and leave themselves in the driver's seat. The real losers in all of this are the innocent people who put their life savings in a rigged stock market!"
"If Faction One - the international bankers who we call the New World Order - wins, a one world government will be implemented and humanity will become slaves... at least the ones who survive the purge... and I will bet you that YOU and I won't be amoung the survivors!"

"If Faction Two wins, there is a plan to take the money that has been stolen from the people of the world, and give it back to the people of the world."


In the meantime, there is money waiting in trusts! This money belongs to nations around the world. It was stolen by the Federal Reserve Bankers who in turn had it "stolen" from them in numerous ways, from phony bearer bonds, to wildly inflated dot.coms, to corporate raiding, bankruptcies, bank failures, hedge funds, off shore accounts, and a modified PROMIS software that "siphoned" money from one account and put it in another!


Since December of 1993 I have known of Faction Two's plan to:

1) Abolish the Federal Reserve and the IRS;

2) Establish a U.S. Treasury Banking System, with a new currency backed by precious metals.


"In 1994, when I was in Austria, I was present at many off the record discussions between European appointed and elected leaders. I was in Austria to finish up the largest gold transfer in history. The transfer that I was involved in was the first in several shipments of gold from the Phillippines to Austria."
"I was told that the first shipment to come home was the gold that Hitler stole from the Austrian Treasury in 1938 when he invaded Austria. I was also told that the gold would be used to destroy the Federal Reserve."

Will the new manage the financial affairs of the planet better than the old?

Is the power behind the new "Western? Or Eastern?"

Nevertheless I am anxious about all of it and realizing how very little I actually KNOW.

We will be aligned with the "new" whatever it is, like it or not.

Think on these things as we await announcements clarifying who and what we have become.

Here is a quote from the Templar Charter.

The Templar Charter, which was shown to me in 1994, is the best way I know to show what is in the hearts of the people who battle against the new world order, the people I refer to as Faction Two.


The Original and True Charter
of the True Knights Templars

The men who created the original Knights Templars did so to protect the common man from the excesses of royalty. The Original Templar Charter set down a list of basic human rights for ordinary people. These rights were based on their God-given rights. Rights that are given to each and every human, by virtue of their birth on Earth.

The monarchs of Europe during the middle ages, were bleeding the peasants dry. All land, animals, plants and trees belonged to the "King". The peasants could not hunt, gather food or build shelter to provide for themselves or their family. Had there been no sovereign, the peasants would have used the things God provided in nature to feed, house and clothe themselves. With the King ruling all property, the peasant could not survive unless the King decreed it. This massive injustice to the common man, was the reason a benevolent group of minor royals and clergy created the original Knights Templars.

But civilization, the birth of agriculture or the domestication of animals
and plants or the transition from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to an agricultural
society happened in the Eden in the East as Oppenheimer termed the Sundaland
during the last Ice Age. And the deluge or the rising of sealevels occuring gave
birth to various deluvial myths and motiffs on various cultures like the
allegorical Noah's flood.Various theosophists, masons, mystics, members of
esoteric circles have all believed in Lemuria, a sophisticated civilization, as
the Mu, or Motherland. Which scientists like Oppenheimer and Solheim equates
with Sundaland. Some occultists picture the extent of Lemuria even occupying the
expanse of Pacific ocean just like what visionarylink had posted. This could be
the etheric or even the astral equivalent or correspondence of the terrestial
Lemuria. So the first Lemurians were higher dimensional beings inhabiting higher
dimension or etheric Lemuria not yet fully physical beings as occultists say.
But sooner in the allegorical Fall of Man, they become fully corporeal carnal
beings. "

Perhaps it would be a revelation to take a second look at the origin mythology of the Bagobo peoples, and with this, based on on the probable map shown by a certain society on Lemuria, the presence of Mt. Apo must have possibly helped in surviving a portion of ancient Lemuria. It should also be noted that Mt. Apo is home to some endemic flora and fauna species originally found only in the area, such as the orchid Waling-waling and the Philippine Eagle. Having trekked to Mt. Apo years ago, I did notice something strange because thousands of feet above sea level there was actually an intriguing spot where white sands similar to those found in the beaches abound, and so do limestone boulders. these may imply that many many years ago, a portion of the majestic peak may have risen from the seas.

I have also noticed among the Bagobo peoples, they were an intriguing mix of features, for other than the usual Malay look, some of them did manifest Caucasian phyical characteristics. The late mayor of Davao City during the 70's or 80's (I actually met him when I was a kid, and I remembered fully well his countenance), Mayor Elias Lopez was actually a Bagobo but he had seemingly caucasian features also, tall and light skinned. I did inquire with a Bagobo househelp about the caucasian features of some of their peoples and she replied "they (ancestors) were the original natives." When I saw her mother, she also featured light skin tone in contrast to her dark tone. Perhaps it may have something to do with the relation between genetic evolution and Consciousness. Among the indigenous peoples of Mindanao, one actually notices varied mix of ethnic features and could identify the brown, white, black ethnicity from among them. Individuals from the anthropological and historical fields from the country (just make sure not the usual local mediocre lackeys and apers for foreign interest) or from Asia and even from around the world, should give great attention regarding these, especially with the myth of origin by the Bagobo peoples and its possible link with ancient Sundaland, or Mu. Who knows, the discovery may hold clues to the missing key as to the origin of the world's tribes, and it's right over here.

Regarding the black race, I also made personal research and the ancient Sumerians narrated in detail their origin in south Africa and its relation to gold mines (there were recent discoveries of mining artifacts dated hundreds of thousands of years). I once read a little information that the ancient black peoples revolted from their slavery against the "gods." However, I believe the theory on Lemuria may still be very much older in scope.

Did Humanity's ancient Tribes originate from the foothills of Mt. Apo?!

Mt. Apo, Mindanao, Philippines

This may seem a prequel to the previous blog that I posted, albeit with an even more fantastic twist, and a far larger scale at that.

Scenic Mt. Apo is the country's highest peak, majestically towering over the vast expanse of the southern tip of Mindanao island bordering over the mountainous edges of Davao City. However, the ancient narratives of an indigenous people that lived along its mountain ranges, the Bagobo tribe (they also named the peak, which means "grand old man"), bespeak about a fantastic claim that the names of ALL of Humanity's tribes supposedly originated from the foothills of this majestic peak!

Here is the Bagobo account:


Origin
Bagobo (Mindanao)

In the beginning there lived one man and one woman, Toglai and Toglibon. Their first children were a boy and a girl. When they were old enough, the boy and the girl went far away across the waters seeking a good place to live in. Nothing more was heard of them until their children, the Spaniards and Americans, came back. After the first boy and girl left, other children were born to the couple; but they all remained at Cibolan on Mount Apo with their parents, until Toglai and Toglibon died and became spirits. Soon after that there came a great drought which lasted for three years. All the waters dried up, so that there were no rivers, and no plants could live.

"Surely," said the people, "Manama is punishing us, and we must go elsewhere to find food and a place to dwell in."

So they started out. Two went in the direction of the sunset, carrying with them stones from Cibolan River. After a long journey they reached a place where were broad fields of cogon grass and an abundance of water, and there they made their home. Their children still live in that place and are called Magindanau, because of the stones which the couple carried when they left Cibolan.

Two children of Toglai and Toglibon went to the south, seeking a home, and they carried with them women's baskets (baraan). When they found a good spot, they settled down. Their descendants, still dwelling at that place, are called Baraan or Bilaan, because of the women's baskets.

So two by two the children of the first couple left the land of their birth. In the place where each settled a new people developed, and thus it came about that all the tribes in the world received their names from things that the people carried out of Cibolan, or from the places where they settled.

All the children left Mount Apo save two (a boy and a girl), whom hunger and thirst had made too weak to travel. One day when they were about to die the boy crawled out to the field to see if there was one living thing, and to his surprise he found a stalk of sugarcane growing lustily. He eagerly cut it, and enough water came out to refresh him and his sister until the rains came. Because of this, their children are called Bagobo.

http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/creation-phil.html#origin

The question may sound preposterous even from among locals here, furthermore exacerbated by mainstream education on history unwittingly patterned after previous colonial-based systems that will less likely hint of otherwise locally rooted but ancient phenomenon, having been very dependent on Western-biased sources and interests rather than that of the East or this country's.

Ridiculous it may seem to be, for how could "obscure" Mindanao from among more than seven thousand clusters of archipelago islands, in a country so miniscule to compare with other huge land masses and countries of this planet, would dare claim what could have been a very important role in the forgotten annals of Humanity's history?

Or so it seemed. Unless one puts the ace on the table; unless one considers this very ancient, lost continent into the picture that existed, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of years ago, but forgotten or deliberately suppressed to a supposed "modern" but unknowing society.



According to ancient narratives and documents, there once existed a very powerful continent known as the land of MU, or Lemuria. Much older than the West's legendary Atlantis or the Biblical garden of Eden, ancient Lemuria once stretched 5000 miles long and 3000 miles wide somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, with a population that was said to reach 63 Million people over 200,000 years ago. Its peoples were a noble, highly advanced civilization adept at telepathy, astral travel, teleportation, until its eventual demise, and based on my personal research, partly caused by alien interference (the Greek historian Plato, through Socrates, and another Mindanao indigenous tribe, the Bilaan also narrated accounts of the said phenomenon). The ancient ancestors of great civilizations of ancient Egypt (with more probability of later connection with Atlantis) and the Meso-Americas such as the Mayas, were even said to be refugees of this great, lost continent that may hold clue as to the similarities of Asians with American Indians and Eskimos. In the image provided, the sketch that featured the probable location of Lemuria showed that Mt. Apo in Mindanao that the Bagobo peoples claimed where the names of all the world's tribes originated may be on the edged part of the ancient legendary continent. It had been said that the eventual disintegration of Lemuria transpired over a period of many thousands of years, with the final destruction that occurred thousands of years before that of Atlantis (about 15,000 years or more).

The Bagobo mythology also predicted that the lost children will return back to their place of origin. As mentioned in my previous blog, "Did the nation's ancient history originate from Southern Mindanao?", the early wave of settlers from Southeast Asia eventually arrived in Southern Mindanao about 500 AD, which through the years were followed by the arrival of other races from as far as Europe, America, and from other continents occurring even up to the present.
