Magindanao Pearl by isidro L. Retizos
Sinag-tala- a 16 year old basket weaver and the daughter of Pirang

love with Magiting/ Walang Gulat. Was called Lily by the River

Magiting/ Walang Gulat – son of the Chief of Pasigan. Was already

but fell in love with Sinag-tala.

Lakambini- antagonist of the story. Became jealous of Sinag-tala

and accused her
taking pearls.

Pirang Kawayan- father of Sinag-tala. Chief of Maynila

Summary

When Sinag-tala was 2 and a half, her grandma came and placed a
fresh lily in one of
her hands and a small pale pearl on the other. She said the Sinag-tala
was to grow
as soft and delicate as a lily and she will own priceless pearls taken
form oysters
from the blue seas of Maguindanao. After 14 years, she was called
by Lakambini
to make baskets for the mother of Magiting Walang Gulat. So she
went to the riverside to get
some bamban reeds and young bamboo joints. While doing this, she
met Magiting.
They talked for a while but they didn’t know that some people were
watching them.
These people said what they saw to Lakambini and she became
furious. She then told
Sinag-tala that she did not need the baskets anymore and ended up
hiding the pearls
in one of the baskets. So Sinag-tala was accused of stealing the
pearls.

Sinag-tala was then put into trials. Magiting, loved her, so he tried to
make her free
by “donating” some jewels to the village in place of the pearls. The
Judges did not accept
this. Sinag-tala was then placed into the boiling water or deal
wherein she had to dip her hands
in boiling water and get one stone at the bottom and if her hands
showed no signs of being
burned, she was innocent. Sinag-tala was about to this when Pirang
Kawayan stood.
Lakambini knew that he was going to do something bad but as she
screamed, Pirang
Kawayan stabbed his own daughter. Lakambini then admitted that
she was the one who
hid the pearls and that Sinag-tala was innocent. But it was too late
for Sinag-tala was Yes sir.
