Description

"Maria falls in love with a farmer, whom she then watches over. This leads the townspeople say he is endowed with a charm, or mutya, as it is called, that protected him and his from harm.

The young man was good at heart and simple in spirit, but also quiet and secretive. In particular, he would not say much of his frequent visits into the wood of Mariang Makiling. But then war came to the land, and army officers came recruiting unmarried young men.

The man entered an arranged marriage so that he could stay safely in the village. A few days before his marriage, he visits Maria one last time. "I would that you were consecrated to me," she said sadly, "but you need an earthly love, and you do not have enough faith in me besides. I could have protected you and your family."

After saying this, she disappeared. Mariang Makiling was never seen by the peasants again, nor was her humble hut ever rediscovered."
