Maharlika: In Search of Identity

Maharlika: In Search of Identity is a thought-provoking exploration of a nation’s journey to rediscover its indigenous roots, spiritual essence, and authentic self. The author challenges conventional narratives shaped by colonial histories, offering an alternative lens to understand the rich pre-colonial traditions that shaped a people’s beliefs, myths, politics, and culture.

Revisiting the Indigenous, Buddhist, Islamic, and Indic influences that have defined the nation’s identity, this book calls for a deeper understanding of history through a long-term, civilizational perspective. It urges readers to see beyond the last 500 years, embracing the wisdom of ancestors and the stories that predate colonial impositions.

The author reclaims the name “Maharlika,” meaning “Great Creation,” as a call to honor the nation’s heritage and envision a future rooted in cultural pride and self-determination. Advocating for the adoption of Maharlika as the country’s name, the book illuminates the growing movement to redefine identity and reinvigorate national pride.

Through its powerful narrative, Maharlika: In Search of Identity inspires readers to reconnect with their history, celebrate their heritage, and embrace a transformative path of self-discovery, spiritual reverence, and collective renewal.
