The poem of the Condor Hero is a Filipino epic cycle about a young man named Bernardo Carpio who acquires superhuman powers and becomes the Condor Hero. The story is originally from the Northern Philippines from where it spread from its oral tradition to other parts of Asia through trade, conquest, and cultural contact. The hero meets a princess who was taken prisoner by an evil giant as punishment for her father's transgressions against their kingdom. The boy saves her by defeating the giant in combat on horseback with lance and sword on horseback. In some versions she is his sister or an adopted daughter. The ancient story underwent linguistic shifts over time, resulting in many variations. One of the earliest surviving manuscripts of this story is a Tagalog version written in Baybayin or Alibata in the pre-colonial Philippines. It is among the rarest and most valuable documents in Philippine History and it is preserved in the archives of Spain. Through this valuable manuscript, we can see how the original poem was highly altered to fit its new environment where it became part of a tradition of magic realism that exists in various forms across Asia such as "One Thousand and One Nights" or even "Harry Potter". Some believe that this work may have been based on an actual historical event, but there is no evidence to support this theory. The story of the Condor Hero was first written down in Alibata, an ancient Tagalog syllabary used for writing folk stories and love poems. This version of the story was written on three leaves of an abaca or giant banana tree. The manuscript was discovered by Spanish scholar Jose Rizal, among his collections in Europe and one of his most prized possessions. The document however, never made it to the Philippines during the Philippine Revolution and it remained in Spain until its return in 2011. The original manuscript is currently stored at the National Library of France and is handled with care due to its age and historical value. In lieu of being a rare manuscript from the Philippines, this version of the story has been adapted into a popular Filipino musical. The "Condor Hero" musical is considered by many to be a modern classic, winning many awards locally and even internationally. It features a mixture of classical, pop and traditional music genres that is unique to the Philippines. The book was written by National Artist Nick Joaquin, while it was adapted for stage by Ryan Cayabyab. It has been staged in theaters across all over the world and is one of the most often produced musical pieces in Philippine theater history. https://www.bbcworldservice.com/programmes/p0548xn4 http://www. filipinolink.com/tagalog/lolitas-of-the-condor-hero https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVyNsN5QlBI http://univision.com/noticias/cultura/parte-1-deel-12.html Most Filipino families have passed down the stories of the mighty Condor Hero to their generations, especially during times of hardships, famine, natural calamities or under martial law. This forte for tales has been established by the many generations of its oral tradition. cfa1e77820
