"The story takes place in a mythological forest, where Binhi, a spirit born
from the last remaining balete tree, journeys to restore lost Filipino values.
He must pass 3 trials (representing pagrespeto, pakikipagkapwa, and
pagpapakumbaba) and fight Salot—the spirit of colonial greed and modern
indifference.

visuals that evolve like a painting.
Setting & Mood:
The story is set in a lush, enchanted forest deeply rooted in Filipino
mythology—Gubat ng Alaala—a symbolic place where forgotten values
dwell. The mood is mystical yet emotionally resonant, combining the
innocence of folklore with the seriousness of a moral fable. The environment
should evoke the natural textures of Philippine landscapes: balete roots, rice
paddies, mountain fog, and rivers—each holding metaphorical weight."
