The Legend of Dr. Jose Rizal says that she lived in a hat, but in real life she live in a cave with crystal stalagmites stones froming a table and a chair can also be seen, An old woman came to a group of visitor and retold the old legend in another way. This was shared to one of the journalist who sacrificed just to reach the place.
These is the Story the true story of Maria Maliking:
During the Battle of heaven, the angels were divided in two, one leaded by Saint Michael who fight for God and one lead by the evil angel Lucis. As the battle begun some angels remain in between and are not fighting, they are called nutral spirits. who ever wins there they will placed their allegiance. As the side of God wins, this nutral spirits were singing joyfully and placed their allegiance to God. God was not pleased by their presence in heaven, so he cast them to earth to watch over it and guard it. They are bound to stay on earth forever. Some of the nutral spirit reacted violently for they don't want to stay on earth. God asked Michael to drive them out from His presence. the violent one were cast to the deepest part of the water, were placed in the clouds, some were cast on earth.
The Nutral spirit on earth remains with their allegiance to God until the fallen angels tempted them to live the side of God and build a new Kingdom on earth.
So the group of nutral spirits on earth was Divided. This nutral spirits can penitrate on humans and bear a child if they want.
One angel who once was the ministering spirit of the moon, was assigned on earth to guard nature and the tides of the season. She then in her kindness and allegiance to God was made the ministress of Nature. she govern the forest and the sea, the air and fire, she is the charmed one, most pretty dressed in angelic white. to Pagans she is called Lady of the moon or moon godess, to other belief she is called mother nature.
To Christian nature lovers she is called Angel of the Earth, and to poets and story writer has many name. She is fondly known as Maria Makiling.
Since she is no longer part of the angelic choir she then becomes a fairy. to children she is the fairy godmother, To the fairies she is the Queen Fairy.
Painters miss their interpretation on how she looked liked. Maria Makiling is like a teenage girl who has a dark hair with highlights of gold allover, she wore a crown of flowers with small batter flies. When she walked in the midst of mortal being she is seen as an old woman with a basket. the basket she once used in sharing gold to those in great need. One farmer received a basket of 10 gold eggs, and left Midsayap, and no one knows where his family and him be found. People can come to her cave and barrow golden plates for a gathering, but this was stop by the Queen fairy herself, because that certain man never returns back the barrowed items. People who came to know her kindness calls her Maria because of her motherly ways towards the mortals, Makiling because she is of a kind hearted.
Maria Makiling has two close related fairies on her side and called them sister. thus they become the most powerful spirit of nature on earth, Maria Makiling is now known as the Spirit of the Earth. and the other two was known as the Spirit of Warter and air. Dania and Amihan.
After saying this to those journalist the old woman left them and said: Protect natrue before she will increase her wrath on men. the three sisters wants that mankind will respect what God has created for 5 days without rest, for they have no rights to harm any of these. After which they were permited to see what is inside the cave and afer the short tour they went out. This is what they see
A stone forniture, snake, bats and a water falls that serve as a curtain dividing the world of mortals and the Kingdom of the Queen Fairy, some claim that what they will see is a paradise, a garden with mystical animals and the famous is the unichorn.
Another entrance will lead you out and you will find your self in Mt. Apo and MT. Makiling in Luzon. If you went there with an impure heart you will not be allowed to enter for all you see is a big stone door curtained with big roots.
Others just went there and left letters of request.
To get there you must live early dawn from the main town for it will be along walk.
Maria Makiling renders now her help in another way but a little difficult.
