In the tumultuous 1970s, deep in the heart of Bukidnon’s rugged mountains, one man rose from the soil of ancestral land to become the fiercest protector of his people. KUMANDER LINTA tells the riveting and powerful story of Lawin, a humble Higaonon farmer thrust into the fires of war after armed rebels ravaged his homeland and murdered his brother. Driven by grief and an unyielding sense of justice, Lawin joins the paramilitary group Tadtad, where he witnesses both the valor and the horror of war—until betrayal forces him to carve his own path.
Haunted by the abuses of a brutal commander and fueled by love for his tribe, Lawin transforms into Kumander Linta—a legendary guerrilla leader believed to be blessed by ancient spirits, capable of miraculous healing and survival. From bloody battles in the hills to peace negotiations with the President, Linta becomes a symbol of resistance, honor, and forgotten heroism.
Spanning decades of struggle, survival, and sacrifice, this historical fiction reveals the untold legacy of a man erased from official history but immortalized in the oral traditions of his people. KUMANDER LINTA is a gripping tale of faith, folklore, and the enduring spirit of indigenous resistance.
Will the truth of Kumander Linta finally rise from the silence of forgotten history? Or will the memory of a true hero fade with the dying embers of tribal fire?
