The Gods Must Be Crazy: A Philippine Mythology Podcast

36: TELENOVELA AS OLD AS TIME | Part 2 of 2 - The Adventures of Humadapnon (A Suludnon Epic)

Beware the island of a thousand beautiful maidens! In this two-part episode, we follow the adventures of Humadapnon, another epic from the island of Panay.

Who comes to Humadapnon’s rescue? None other than the beautiful Binukot - Nagmalitong Yawa. In the second part of this journey, we cover: a wedding, another hero goes courting (but it’s not who you think!), a betrayal, a long-lost relative, a god’s ingenious solution for when your spouse does not want you anymore.

We also delve a bit into Nagmalitong Yawa, a goddess by her own right, and a symbol of feminine power and allure.

Warning: Some mature themes.
