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.
