ANG PAG BALIK SA KAHAPON (the return to yesterday)

Jonel_Sevandra
The year is 1884. Beneath the simmering unease of Spanish colonial rule in the quiet coastal town of Zambales, hope flickers in the most unexpected of places: an eleven-year-old orphaned foundling named Iñigo. But Iñigo carries a secret that belies his tender years – the vivid memories of Victor Reyes, a 21st-century Filipino soldier thrust into this unfamiliar past. Trapped in a child's frail body, Victor grapples with the ethical burden of his anachronistic knowledge, determined to remain a silent observer. Yet, the palpable injustices he witnesses and his innate sense of duty compel him to act in subtle ways, offering quiet wisdom and unexpected insights to the struggling community. Soon, whispers begin to circulate of "Tandang Kidlat" – Old Lightning – an enigmatic figure offering guidance and protection in the face of oppression. Is the unassuming Iñigo the source of this burgeoning legend? And what is the true "lihim" – the secret – of this "Old Lightning" that could ignite the flames of revolution and forever alter the destiny of the Philippines?
