Genre: Mythic Adventure / Eco‑Fantasy / Philippine Heritage Seventeen‑year‑old Alona Marasigan, a curious student from Quezon City, stumbles upon an old mystery: why do Philippine legends speak of Bakunawa — the great sea‑serpent — while modern history treats it as only folklore? Driven by intuition and a family legacy she barely understands, she begins an investigation that blends history, geography, and science. With her friend Joey, she gathers accounts from fishermen, museum records, and archives in Intramuros, linking sightings, satellite anomalies, and ancient texts to the Philippine Trench — the deepest point in the Pacific Ocean. She discovers the trench is not just a void, but a vast, stable, cold sanctuary where prehistoric giants like Megalodon and massive deep‑sea creatures still survive. Guided by Don Eliseo Villareal, a renowned geologist and explorer, and a team of international specialists, Alona learns the legend is real — and her own great‑grandfather once guarded its secret. The expedition divides: one group studies land and oral traditions, while the other dives into the abyss. They face danger from giant piranhas, electric eels, and venomous life‑forms, but also make breakthrough discoveries — including a living “cold‑stone algae” that regulates the trench’s temperature, resisting global warming. Finally, in the deepest basin, they encounter Bakunawa itself: a majestic, ancient being with six tentacle‑like sensory appendages, four powerful webbed limbs, shifting silver‑pearl scales, and eyes like aquamarine gems. It speaks directly to them, revealing it has existed since the archipelago’s birth, acting as the ocean’s natural regulator. It warns that human‑driven climate change threatens to destroy its home — and with it, the balance of the entire planet. Alona answers not with greed or fear, but with respect and truth. The guardian spares them, trusting her to return to the surface not as a conqueror, but as a messenger. The Last Dragon of Manila is a story of how myths are living memories, how biodiversity sustains us all, and how protecting the unknown depths means protecting the future of the world above.
