Summary "Alamat ng Ilang-Ilang" by Jose N. Sevilla is a fictional work that likely emerged in the early 20th century, a period marked by a rich cultural renaissance in the Philippines. This book delves into Filipino folklore, unraveling the myth behind the ilang-ilang flower, exploring themes of love, loss, and the moral implications of one's actions through a narrative steeped in the local context and traditions. The story follows a protagonist who becomes lost in the dense forests of Mindoro while hunting with friends. Isolated and anxious, he encounters an ancient figure who shares the legend of the ilang-ilang flower. This figure reveals that the flower's existence is tied to the tragic tale of a father and daughter, exploring the consequences of forbidden love and the searches for redemption. As the elder recounts their past mistakes and the curse placed upon him for his actions, the narrative weaves a poignant reflection on love's complexities, integrating cultural wisdom with an emotional journey that resonates with the reader.
