the landmark MAHARLIKA Forum

1st Davao MAHARLIKA Consciousness Reawakening Forum

MAHARLIKA

(Introductory Speech)

Good evening, we welcome your special presence in this landmark event, the 1st (Davao) MAHARLIKA Consciousness Reawakening Forum now held in Davao City. MAHARLIKA is the ancient name of our Nation ages before the arrival of Spanish colonizers. MAHARLIKA may be derived from Sanskrit MAHAD/R meaning Great, Noble, Precious, and LEKHA meaning Creation, Work. MAHARLIKA is further referred by our Ancestors as a NOBLE, a FREEMAN. Based on current researches, it may be intimately traced even since the Creation of FREE Humanity itself with Addan and Eba as narrated by the MAHARLIKA Ata-Manobo Tribe, hence MAHAL na NILIKHA (Precious Creation).

The story of 1st Davao MAHARLIKA Consciousness Reawakening Forum started when, truly yours and using my pen name Ric Vil Hori, decided to create in this Internet Era a Facebook community Page called Maharlika Consciousness Reawakening. Eventually, with the aid of fellow Netizen Raelian Stanlymer Mulet, we also branched a group page Maharlika Con(s)ciousness Awakening Interactive that enabled other MAHARLIKAN Netizens to interact and post at will, which, despite of bit erroneous spelling, gathered more than 2300 members, and counting. From then on topics ranged from broad and complex fields as History, current events, Science, Spirituality, politics, even the inevitable inclusion of World conspiracies and Extraterrestrial phenomenon. A friend once commented about the group page to be “vague.” I wish to correct him, it is not vague but BROAD.

As World and domestic events unfolded, such as the Ebola outbreak, ISIS, formation of BRICS Nations as alternative of the World Bank, and even throughout history as the creation of World Bank itself, the establishment of European Union, the World Trade Center attack, there may be the role of MAHARLIKA behind these events and we urgently felt the need for the Truth of MAHARLIKA be made known to the larger community, especially here in Davao.

At first there were only two of us, me and former highschool classmate Paul Ramos, who decided to create the city’s Maharlika Forum, in what could perhaps be the pioneering move of its kind. Then Assoc. Prof. Madolyn de la Rosa from University of Southeastern Philippines (USEP) volunteered, then Sir Karani of the Bagobo Tribe as referred to me by a Dravidian friend Sri Harri. Despite the struggles and limitations, finally the 1st MAHARLIKA Consciousness Reawakening Forum has pushed through, and we are here to be part of it.

Please bear with us for having limited personnel, time and resources as these are what we could do for the moment despite the challenges. Hopefully in the coming time the Maharlika Reawakening shall flourish and there would be more enlightened MAHARLIKANS for none can assist us from the prevailing predicament of this country and this World, but only us, for MAHARLIKA is the Solution.

MABUHAY ANG MAHARLIKA!
