Pulo Bulac

Pulo Bulac / Polobulac

there once was a beautiful island called Polobulac, or Isle of Flowers
but not just any flowers it is said that that island had golden flowers and was abundant with gold
that island was home to the savage and vicious warlike people with tattoos over their body
That they would raid by sea and by land to loot and capture slaves
The inhabitants of the island worshiped their war god Macanduc and followed his teaching to rape and plunder and take what they can.
The island was beautiful filled with flowers, fruit bearing trees and gold almost everywhere
but the tattooed inhabitants only prayed to the war gods
All the people of the tribes and villages they plundered prayed to the supreme god
their prayers reached him and it made the supreme one angry
he ordered the other gods to blow winds and send huge waves and shake the ground so that the island and the inhabitants would perish.
And so with the wrath of the gods the Isle of flowers along with its warlike people was swallowed by the sea.
Spanish fathers, who wished to impress the doctrine of the Seven Deadly Sins on the natives of Iloilo made their own version of this tale.
