THE POLICE DOG, THE LOVE STORY, AND THE ELECTRIC DREAMS

As a nation, the Philippines with its 7,101 islands, 2,800 of which are populated, experienced its first taste of electrification in 1890. Three lamps were installed along a main thoroughfare in the City of Manila. Electric lines were first installed in 1895.

From1890 to the late 1960s, power generation and distribution were largely controlled by private entities. For the most part, the government was regulating electric installation. In 1936, Commonwealth Act 120 created the National Power Corporation (NPC) and tasked it with developing the country’s hydropower potential. Primarily, the Manila Electric Company (MERALCO) was the largest privately-owned electric utility which contributed to the country’s total generation capacity. Secondarily, there were small generating systems that were installed which were owned by private operators and local government units (LGUs). Due to the profit-orientation of the private utilities, electrification was limited to high-density urban areas only where electric utility operations were considered viable.

With this condition, the government realized that the rural areas were deprived from being program beneficiaries. Thus, agricultural and industrial development in the countryside was snail-paced. The government realized further that the promotion and acceleration of such development could be attained through the provision of cheap and dependable supply of power.

Due to the inadequacy of power service, the need for an agency to oversee the installation of countryside electrical systems was felt. It was in 1960 that Mayor Exasperanza Sanchez - Binghay saw a light of hope. Republic Act (RA) 2717 was enacted to carry out the country’s electrification policy. The agency was authorized P25 million to be loaned out to the electric utility operators for financing the construction and operation of generating plants, electric transmission and distribution systems for the furnishing of electric energy, particularly in the rural areas.

While finding ways and means for her electrification project, Mayor Exasperanza Sanchez on her own pocket had bought a lot of Petromax kerosene (paraffin) pressure lanterns which she used for her street-lighting project.

The brand name Petromax itself in the minds of the Cebuanos became synonymous to kerosene (paraffin) pressure lantern which was derived from “petroleum” and “Max Graetz” (the name of its main inventor). The design was such a success that it is still being used to this day in Balamban especially by fishermen and farmers.

By the end of August 1963, 60 days after the approval of Republic Act 3590 otherwise known as the Barrio Charter, the tenientes del barrio who used to function mainly as tax collectors of the municipality were changed to capitanes del barrio and were granted greater autonomy and incentive for self-help, without the national, provincial and municipal governments relinquishing their respective obligations to them which was also a relief on the part of the municipal bureaucracy. Then in 1964, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) conducted a survey of the country’s power situation. Finding that the electrification program had been moving quite slowly as private utility operators continued to ignore serving the rural areas, the study recommended the adoption of the rural electric cooperative system of the United States.

In March 1965, the Electrification Administration sent a telegram to Engr. Donato Karamihan (who was at Amlan, Negros at that time for an electrical load survey) advising him to drop in Balamban and Asturias to make a feasibility study, electrical load survey, and design for its possible electric installation. Following the advice he went to Balamban and stayed at the house of the mayor for eight months. Within that span of time after the positive result of Engr. Karamihan’s study, the contractor George Vargas had bid for the electrical installation project with the package of technically giving 130 kilowatt generator to light Balamban. The electrification only covered Abucayan to Baliwagan Proper which had been determined after the electrical load survey had been conducted.

Electrical load survey is done for power evaluation by knowing the necessary power requirement of nearby population which can be achieved by taking the interview of barrio captains, school teachers, and etc. There are factors may be considered during the electrical load survey of nearby villages up to 4 to 10 km distance from the location of proposed SHP station, namely: number of villages; number of houses; population; number of projected connections; average energy consumptions; demand for street lighting; number of commercial establishment and energy demand for each establishment; number of schools, health centers and other community services and their energy demand; number of small industries with energy requirement for each; miscellaneous demand; and current and projected demand for electrical energy of various types of consumption.

The mayor was sad for it did not reach the lot of Dr. Aniano Dumdum, whom she had a political conflict, since the said lot was not inhabited. She wanted to befriend all her political enemies so that they could work with her in her programs harmoniously. Hence, she asked Engr. Karamihan if he could manage to make an extension line to the said lot. Engr. Karamihan told the mayor that he could get the extra wires available and used it for the said installation if she could provide an electrical post. The mayor then ordered her men to pull the old electrical post (which was used before to hold the Petromax lantern) near her house and transfer it to the lot of Dr. Dumdum. The area which is the site that covered the existing Dumdum Clinic was then lighted. Because of this, George Vargas, the electrical installation contractor, sued the engineer in court for some violations done under the contract of agreement. The mayor defended him since he was only protecting the interest of Balamban.

The stay of Engr. Karamihan at the mayor's residence was not without guard. Judge Jose Alquiza Binghay, the mayor's husband who was a native of Pinamungajan but was assigned to Asturias-Tuburan-Tabuelan area, was always keep eying on him during the night time. He made it sure that before going asleep his police dog, Mampor (who was named after a fabled Chinese Arab merchant who had traded with Balamban during the pre-Hispanic times), was guarding by the door where the engineer was sleeping. He was doing this to keep her beautiful 20-year old Virginia safe from the possible courtship advances of the engineer.

Everyday, Virginia would drive the MacArthur type jeep to fetch the mayor to and fro her office. There were times that Mampor would ride with her but most of the times Judge Binghay, on his black Chrysler, would take the dog with him to his work, leaving Virginia unguarded during daytime. Donato who was always watching from the windows found her very attractive then. So between October and November that year he courted her. Sensing this, the mayor approached the engineer and told him, “If you want to marry in Balamban you must work here.” On the following six months he went to India for a study and training.

In 1966 after one hundred days of winning as president, Marcos revealed his plans for economic development and government reform in his first State of the Nation Address (SONA). Marcos wanted the immediate construction of roads, bridges and public works, which included 16,000 kilometers of feeder roads, some 30,000 lineal meters of permanent bridges, a generator with an electric power capacity of one million kilowatts (1,000,000 kW), and water services to eight regions and 38 localities.

In that same year, during the state visit to the United States of then President Ferdinand E. Marcos, arrangements were made for USAID assistance in the Philippine Rural Electrification Program. A contract with the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) of the United States was executed. The NRECA made feasibility studies for pilot projects. Two Rural Electric Cooperatives (ECs) were set up, one in Mindanao and the other in the Visayas. These were the Misamis Oriental Rural Electric Service Cooperative, Inc. (MORESCO) and the Victorias-Manapla-Cadiz Rural Electric Service Cooperative, Inc. (VRESCO), respectively.

With the help of Engr. Karamihan, the mayor was able to loan one hundred seventy thousand pesos (Php 170,000.00) from the Electrification Administration for the electrification program of the town.

In July 1966 Engr. Karamihan came back to the Philippines and resigned from the Electrification Administration. He returned to Balamban and applied a job in Atlas Corporation at Toledo City, Cebu. Though he was renting on a different house for delicadeza he always would go to Balamban during weekends by banca (boat) since Virginia would always go home from her college studies in Cebu City and would often walk on wooden slippers called “bakya” from the seashore. With the consent of the mayor, Virginia accepted the love of Donato whom she always looked as a light man responsible in the electrification of the town.

In 1967 the marriage of Donato and Virginia was already scheduled but the mayor became ill. She was found out to have a colon cancer. She was brought to the U.S. and to different countries in Europe but to no avail for she was already on a malignant stage.  Mayor Exasperanza Sanchez – Binghay died leaving her family empty handed with no more cash on hand due to her hospitalization. Following the tradition of “babang luksa” or “hubkas” Engr. Karamihan had to wait for another year if he really wanted to marry Virginia.

Upon the death of Mayor Exasperanza Sanchez - Binghay, Socrates Gonzalez, her vice-mayor, assumed the office of the mayor and Felix Calvo the office of the vice-mayor.

In 1968, two among the children of the late Mayor Exasperanza Sanchez – Binghay got married. On January 14, 1968, Rosario and Alex were married at the Guadalupe Church in Guadalupe, Cebu City. And on the following three months on April 28, 1968, Engr. Donato Karamihan had finally married Virginia Binghay.

In the next succeeding years, Virginia and Donato begot three children, namely: Virginia Donna, a physical therapist; Don Joseph, a nurse; and Dave John, an ECE who had served as municipal councilor for nine years.

BINIBINING BALAMBAN 2013 TALENTS NIGHT (LOREMIE ROSALES)

WHO WILL BE ABS-CBN'S "DARNA"?

Darna is the superheroine created by a renown comics Filipino writer Mars Ravelo. She first appeared on May 13, 1950 in the Pilipino Komiks (Ace Publications, Inc.) #77 under the illustration of Nestor Redondo. Darna began as a concept before World War II in late 1939. She is created as a female counterpart for Superman because Mars Ravelo believed in the concept that America is “male” and the Philippines is “female.” Ravelo's inspiration for Darna's heroic qualities came from his childhood fascination with Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's Superman (first appearance on Action Comics, No. 1, June 30, 1938; debut as a newspaper comic strip in January 16, 1939). The Pinoy superheros ability to change from Narda to Darna, was inspired by C.C. Beck and Bill Parker's Captain Marvel (first appearance on Whiz Comics, No. 2, February 1940), who changes from the young boy Billy Batson to Captain Marvel by shouting, Shazam!. He didn’t want to use the term “Superwoman” so as not to plagiarize the Siegel and Shuster creation. So instead as inspired by Superman, Mars Ravelo originally referred to his superheroine as "Kamangha-manghang dilag" (Wonder Girl) and combined the superhuman qualities of Superman with his own real life hero -- his mother. There were claims that Darna was a copy, or less charitably, a rip-off of William Moulton Marston's Wonder Woman (first appearance on All Star Comics, No. 8, December 1941). But people who have spoken with Ravelo personally claimed that the Filipino comics legend based Darna on his own mother who raised him single-handedly.

Contrary to what some Filipinos may believe, Darna was not named after the magical Ibong Adarna (Adarna bird), which appears in a Philippine epic of the same name. In Bulaklak Magazine, Narda was already established as Varga's mortal identity. "Darna" was simply an anagram of "Narda". Varga (the original superheroine created by Ravelo who first appeared in Bulaklak Magazine, Vol. 4, #17 on July 23, 1947) was, in all things but name, the woman we now know as Darna. The concept and image of Varga (who could be the first female superhero in the Philippines) was based on the illustrations of Superman appearing on comic books brought by soldiers from the United States to the Philippines. It was the story of a mortal girl named Narda (named after one of Ravelo's childhood playmates), her brother Ding and their grandmother, Lola Asay who lived in the town of Masambong when a falling star revealed itself to be a magic amulet that turns the little girl named Narda into the superheroine VARGA.

It can also be noted that Varga was a character archived twice, first, for the duration of World War II and second, when the name Varga became the ownership of Bulaklak magazine (during those times, intellectual property right is not yet in effect) and so when Ravelo left the publication in 1949 after a falling out with its editor, Varga stayed behind.

On May 31, 1951, Darna made a crossover from comics to cinema even before the comics serial was even finished, Royal Publications under Fernando Poe Sr. would produce the first Darna movie starring Rosa Del Rosario who was the original actress to play Darna. Darna was the last film directed by Fernando Poe, Sr. Since then, a number of actresses and actors have portrayed the most popular Pinoy superhero, not only in movies but also on different platforms. Some made from 1973 onwards starred the future multi-awarded dramatic actress and politician Vilma Santos. In these 1970s films, Darna's origin was changed; no longer a little girl, Narda was now in her late teens. Also, she herself becomes Darna, unlike the original where she just "channels" her (not unlike Jason Blood and Etrigan). Only Ding knows her secret in this version. Also, the stone comes out of Narda's mouth every time she changes back; she has to swallow it every time she wants to transform (This became standard for following versions). Darna is not specified as coming from Marte, just as a "warrior of Light". This version of Darna became most people's idea of the character for about 3 decades. A catchphrase popularized by the movies and said by Narda runs, "Ding, ang bato!" ("Ding, [give me] the stone!")

A TV series was also produced in 1977. Created by Ketchie Benedicto and airing on KBS 9, Darna! The TV Series starred another future multi-awarded dramatic actress, Lorna Tolentino, as Darna/Narda. Darna also had her own cartoon series in 1986 by GMA 7. On April 11, 2005 GMA had launched another Darna series which was starred by Angel Locsin and later launched another version starred by Marian Rivera on August 10, 2009.

Last 2012, ABS-CBN has acquired the rights to do a TV and movie remake of the works of Mars Ravelo including Darna, Captain Barbell and Dyesebel and in the past few months, netizens have been debating on who are the rightful names to play these famous characters, be it on TV or movie. The rumors started when ABS-CBN ad prom head director Eric John Salud tweeted that ABS-CBN acquired the rights of 13 Mars Ravelo titles. “ABS-CBN acquires exclusive rights to 13 Mars Ravelo titles. Darna, Dyesebel, Jack En Jill to name a few”, he tweeted. Star Creatives' Roxy Liquigan also created a buzz when she tweeted, "Lipad Darna Lipad", confirming that the Kapamilya network's Darna remake titled Lipad Darna Lipad will start soon. Many netizens embark on online debates via various social networking sites on who has the 'K' to play ABS-CBN's Darna. Rumors are spreading that the network has already chosen the one that will be playing the role and the fans' top 2 choices are Angel Locsin and Cristine Reyes.

Angel Locsin is the favorite to play Darna and last August 2012, there have been reports claiming that Star Cinema has decided to give Angel the role of Narda/Darna which she will reprise in the big screen. Angel, though did not confirm the news saying that there's no official announcement yet. If this will push through, this will be a big leap in the Darna franchise especially that the last actress who played the superheroine in a movie was Regine Velasquez in Captain Barbell (2003). This is still unofficial since there is no formal announcement from ABS-CBN or Star Cinema about the said project plus Viva Films still has the movie right for Darna.  

As soon as news about the “Darna” remake broke last 2012, several Kapamilya actresses are said to have been put under consideration for the part, including Jessy Mendiola, Bea Alonzo, Anne Curtis, Erich Gonzales, Iya Villania, Iza Calzado, Julia Montes, KC Concepcion, Kim Chiu, Maja Salvador and Cristine Reyes. It is unsure, however, if ABS-CBN will do both a movie and TV version of the classic Pinay superheroine but clues now were pointing out to a TV remake. Since there's no official announcements yet, anybody could be Darna. 

Meanwhile, Angel Locsin stands firm in dodging the idea of playing Darna for a second time after she did so back in 2005. In previous interviews, Angel said that playing Darna was a milestone in her career that's why she wants it to be the same for whom the role will go next time. However, in an interview with ABS-CBN News during the launch of her newest endorsement, Angel said that she is ready to play Darna again if ever ABS-CBN would give the role to her in the future. 

Marian Rivera gave her seal of approval to Angel Locsin's possible reprise of Darna now that ABS-CBN has acquired the rights for a TV and film remake of the popular Mars Ravelo character. The former "Darna" actress sees nothing wrong with the possibility of Angel reprising her role as the iconic Pinay superheroine. With ABS-CBN reportedly having earned the rights to Mars Ravelo's Darna character, Locsin has expressed interest in donning the two-piece battle gear anew. Herself an incarnation of Darna via a 2009 TV series, Rivera said any new take on the role is simply par for the course. For her part, Locsin, in an earlier interview, said she is not closing her doors to making a return as the flying superheroine.

MY PERSONAL OPINION
 

If I would be asked by ABS-CBN on who will be the next Darna for their own station's version I would suggest that it should be KC Concepcion, Megan Young, or Angel Locsin again playing the role. KC Concepcion is not only physically fit for the role but soulfully she is appropriate. She is known to be a world ambassador for good will and has gone to several countries in Africa to help the needy. Moreover, she has a great resemblance of the Darna comics illustration in 1968. While Megan Young who recently won as Miss World 2013 becomes hotter and internationally acclaimed. She could possibly turn the Darna mini-series into a commercial and international breakthrough. Yet, Angel Locsin has it all. She is a complete package. She already has the martial trainings for Darna fighting and flying scenes; she is a natural versatile actress; and she has the look of a real brown Filipina beauty.

If ever ABS-CBN will really make its own Darna version on TV or in film under Star Cinema, I could provide them a better backstory for Darna and her white stone for free or even a full storyline for the movie if given a chance. 

MY BACKSTORY FOR DARNA:

THE CELESTIAL FORTRESS OF LIGHT

(The Origin)

It all began at the time of a galactic war between the inhabitants of Nibiru, the so-called 10th planet of our solar system (which revolves clockwise around the Sun, unlike the rest of the planets that revolve counterclockwise, and has a different orbit outward the solar system), and the inhabitants of Tiamat, the planet made of salt water, which had a lone satellite known as Kingu.

Tiamat was ruled by the dragon, named Kur, who had built a crystal city at the ocean-bed. In the midst of that crystal city was a fresh-water lake, known as the Abzu. 

On the other hand, Nibiru was a planet of dry lands inhabited by human-like beings. The inhabitants were peaceful farmers and shepherds who cultivated the mountains and the valleys alike. Kur was envious that he secretly taught them the art of war and gradually brought chaos to the planet and divided it into two great nations of tribes -- the North and the South -- as the clashes escalated. Finally, they engaged a battle that engulfed all of Nibiru. Life on the planet nearly died out during those horrible days.

In desperation, both nations had declared a truce. In order to survive, they created a single global government in which both houses rule united -- that is, a male from one nation would be chosen to rule, a female from the other nation would be chosen to be his spouse, and together they would rule a united people of Nibiru and from their son and heir establish the ruling dynasty of the planet.

A method of casting lots had been decided to determine who would rule. The lot fell to a warrior of the North named An (Heaven). An then chose a woman, named Ki (Earth) -- who was sometimes known as Uraş, Uruş, Aruş, Areş, or Eriş but later became more popular as Ereshkigal -- from the South who was known for both her martial skills as a battle maiden as well as for her prowess in love. They were married and he conferred on her the title An Tu which means "the Leader who is An's Spouse". From the said marriage, peace and unity was regained. Farming was soon re-established, infrastructures rebuilt, and a splendid city of Agade (Unity) was built from which to rule.

Ki bore Ea, the only begotten son of An, who by himself climbed upon the heavenly throne of his father and brandished lightning in his little hand, and newly born, lifted and carried thunderbolts in his tender fingers.  

On the other hand, Nibiru's civilization had advanced scientifically and technologically.  This made Kur more and more jealous. He made an evil scheme of destroying Nibiru and the reputation of its king. Through the chemicals emitted by the planet's metropolis, Kur made a hole on its atmosphere. As an effect, harvests decreased, food stores dwindled, people started to go hungry, and the climate changed. Recognizing that something was going terribly wrong with the planet, An set out to investigate.

The widening hole in the atmosphere and the reduction of volcanic activity had been discovered. Nibiru's core was cooling; the atmosphere was not being replenished as it had been in the past. With the protective atmosphere diminishing, crop failure and pestilences increased. Without the protectively thick atmosphere, there was nothing that could be done to protect the crops and life on Nibiru was doomed.

Nibiru had an elliptical orbit on a cycle of 3,600 years around the Sun. Because the planet has such a long orbit around the Sun, the Nibiruans relied on its very thick upper atmosphere to shelter them from cold, like a warm blanket. It also had the task of keeping the oxygen from escaping in the outer space, hence making life possible. Unfortunately for them, they were faced with extinction when the less belching volcanoes were spitting up, the air was made thinner, the protective shield had been diminished, and the fields had been infested by pestilence and could no longer be tilled.

 

An had engaged himself actively in both understanding the problems that Nibiru faced as well as dedicated to seek a solution. He studied Nibiru's orbit and the solar system. He even observed the other five outer planets -- Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter.

Kur used the chance while An was away. He took the Merkaba, by which at the center of its inner wheel lies the caduceus of metamophosis known as the Kadmun, and kidnapped Ki, who had been made keeper of the Tablet of Destinies, to his realm. He kept the Merkaba at the bottom of the Abzu. 

After learning this event, An was devastated. He demanded Kur for the immediate release of his wife. Kur, who had now transformed himself into a very handsome human-like being named Aidoneus by entering the Merkaba, complied but first gave a kernel of a pomegranate seed to Ki deceiving her that by eating it she could go home to Nibiru. But in reality it was a poison and eating it meant living with the dragon forever. Ki ate it. The feminine spirit  of the Enlil, known as the Shekinah, who had long been residing in her body being the keeper of the Tablet of Destinies, separated from her. Kur captured the Shekinah and imprisoned it inside the Merkaba.  Kur in the form of Aidoneus then seduced Ki into sex, perversion, and lust. And from that union with Kur, she bore a son named Nergal. Having sinned against her husband, she now had no other choice but to stay and to accept her fate to become queen of the great abyss -- hence, she was now called as Ereshkigal, "the once battle maiden who was now queen of erotic love in the great abyss" or sometimes called as Allat ("the Salty Sea"). 

Meanwhile, methods to restore Nibiru's atmosphere were debated. The scientists attempted to create an artificial shield for the planet and launched it into the sky. But it did not remain in orbit and crashed back to the ground. Next the scientists studied the volcanoes and worked to devise a way to awaken them. But as the ill effects of the climate change became more visible, the people began to complain and worry. 

The mother spaceship Marduk

Being Nibiru's crowned prince, Ea had been expected to decide and act immediately on the environmental problems of the planet. The scientists proposed to him that if they shot finely powdered gold into the atmosphere, they could repair it. The only drawback was that gold was extremely rare on Nibiru. They requested permission to build spaceships that could journey towards the other planets and search for the existence of gold there to be retrieved to Nibiru. 

The situation gone worst as Nibiru was approaching the planet Tiamat. Both rulers of the opposing planets became weary on how to stop or evade the possible collision. The teen-age Ea, as commander of the mother spaceship named as Marduk, was sent by An to navigate around the other planets of the solar system especially Mars and Tiamat to find possible solution on how to save its respective inhabitants. From constant observation, Ea had found out that gold was abundant in the Asteroid Belt which they called the Hammered Bracelet. The Nibiruans created a base and spaceport in Mars to transport the gold from there to Nibiru and for an easy access of the waters in the cavern springs of Mars which were used as fuels for the spaceships. From there, Ea had overheard Kur planning to wage war against Nibiru and to destroy it before it hit the other planets. Ereshkigal disagreed but Kur, being much irritated of the Nibiruan exploration activities over his planet and the other planets in the solar system, was persistent and insisted that he would push through his plan even without her consent and blessing. Kur, in his dragon form, flew towards the Marduk and belched fire against it. But Ea fired a laser beam from the Marduk and fatally hit the dragon. Kur fell from the sky and crash landed at the Abzu and laid there lifeless. Ereshkigal was devastated to see the dead dragon. The young boy Nergal told her that it was the Marduk commanded by Ea that murdered his father.

Enraged, Ereshkigal took the Tablet of Destinies (Dup Shimati), which was a rectangular box that had a wooden base and a shiny metal top which vibrated and emitted static electricity as a button was being pressed. The box was more like of a futuristic convertible tablet computer. Ereshkigal pressed another button, the sides folded, the box opened and revealed the Enlil, a round ever-revolving sphere which was more like a shining miniature of the universe. With a powerful voice, Ereshkigal unleashed the eleven gigantic races of monsters from the sphere -- Bašmu, a 60-double miles long seven-headed horned dragon with two forelegs and wings; Ušumgallu, a four-legged winged horned lion-dragon; Mušmaḫḫū, a seven-headed horned dragon that is a hybrid of serpent, lion, and bird; Mušḫuššu, a scaly dragon with hind legs like an eagle's talons and feline forelegs and has a long neck and tail, a horned head, a snake-like tongue and a crest; Laḫmu, a male sphinx; Lahamu, a gigantic hideous four-winged female Gorgon with snake scales as skin, crocodile claws as hands, snakes as hair and beard, and two serpent tails as legs; Ugallu, a lion-headed storm-demon with bird's feet who is carrying a mace girded with a dagger; Uridimmu, a human headed lion-man wearing a horned tiara and holding a staff with an uskaru, or lunar crescent, at the tip; Girtablullû (Scorpion-Man), a supernatural being wearing a horned cap of divinity, having a human head with beard, a human body, the hind legs and talons of a hawk, a snake-headed penis, and a scorpion tail whose aura is frightful, and whose glance is death; Umū dabrūtu, a lion-griffin which has a head and forelimbs of a lion, has the hind-leg and wings of a bird, and has a serpent as tail; Kulullû (Fish-Centaur), an ichthyocentaur that has the upper body of a man, the lower front of a horse, the tail of a fish and wears lobster-claw horns; and Kusarikku (Bull-Man). 

She commanded the gigantic beasts to attack the Marduk, destroy it, and kill all its inhabitants. 

Spacecrafts, in defense, flew down from the Marduk and fought the monsters. The Nibiruans gathered in terror. A galactic battle ensued. But the Nibiruan fleet had defeated the fleet of monsters with its missiles, laser beams, bombs, and other modern military ammunition.

Furious, Ereshkigal transformed herself into a hideous beast, a five-headed human-like dragon. The dragon with an unbelievable speed flew towards Marduk and belched smoke and fire. But seeing this, Ea fired a fatal blow at the dragon which fell back towards Tiamat like a shooting star. 

The crying little boy Nergal embraced the dragon's cheek and lamented over his dying mother. Ereshkigal handed him the Tablet of Destinies. She then commanded him to avenge his parents' death by taking over the kingship of Nibiru and claiming its throne by the right of blood and by the authority vested by the tablet.


Suddenly,  the most anticipated collision of Nibiru to Tiamat happened. Tiamat was sliced into two halves and these were forced to another orbit around the Sun. The other half was shattered into pieces -- asteroids now known as the Asteroid Belt, which is orbiting between Mars and Jupiter; the meteors; and the comets. While the other half was forced into its new orbit between Mars and Venus and became the "new planet" Earth. Kingu became the Moon of Earth. 

Ea transported the little boy to the Marduk.  The Marduk then sipped all the freshwater from the lake into a vessel. Ea had also transported the Merkaba to his command ship. 

Ea brought the boy Nergal to Mars to be raised in Atargatis -- an underwater city, at the deeps of the cavern springs of Mars, of the naiad amazon race known as the Atar  which gates were guarded by fifty sphinxes -- by its queen, Damkina. Damkina had been raped by Kur, disguising as Aidoneus, in the past while she had fallen asleep beneath a tree and became the mother of Ereshkigal. It was the reason why she left Nibiru and lived in the cavern springs of Mars. After she had given birth to Ereshkigal she brought her to Nibiru and entrusted her to the southern tribe. Damkina, however, had been eternally young and beautiful due to the red robe and the necklace she was wearing. The necklace was beautifully wrought in gold, in the shape of two fishes encircling one another, and inlaid with various pearls and lapis lazuli -- a symbol of harmony between the sexes, the yin and yang in Chinese philosophy, which was needed to get at the whole "great mystery" of life. But the said necklace had also been worn as either a belt or a bracelet hence it was also called by the Atars as the Necklace, Belt, or Bracelet of Darna since it could only be worn by the High Priestess and Guardian of the Celestial Fortress of Light, which was called as Darna (from Sumerian Dur-ur-ana which means "celestial fortress of light"), which stood in the midst of Atargatis. The Tablet of Destinies had also been kept safe in the fortress. Aside from the necklace and the robe, Damkina was also wearing a mural crown with a red gem that emanated light, a cestus which had the power of allurement over men,  and a signet ring that possessed the power of invisibility and the power to imprison evil spirits.

Soon Ea had married Damkina and was crowned as the ruler of Mars under the title Zagreus. Ea was made the keeper of the Tablet of Destinies. From Ea and Damkina's union, a lovely daughter named Inanna was born in Mars. But even with this, Damkina raised Nergal, whom she nicknamed as Marte or Gerra, as her own son and trained him to become a great warrior. Yet, even though peace had been restored, Nibiru's more breaching atmosphere still suffered from circuit to circuit. The Nibiruans grew restless and blamed that all the misfortune was brought because of keeping Nergal alive.  

By this time on Earth, the life-forms from the sea had evolved into terrestrial life-forms. Ea who was constantly observing the planet found out that gold was abundant in it. He had sent down 300 Nibiruan astronauts to mine the gold on Earth. 

Nergal, on the other hand, who had now grown up into a very handsome human-like being, was determined to pursue his plan to usurp the throne of Nibiru. He was still filled with rage and revenge. He planned to leave the Atargatis and go to Nibiru. But in order to do so, he must get a spacecraft for his own. But the spacecrafts were stationed inside the fortress, which was enclosed by a crystal firmament, where no men were allowed to enter unless he must passed one of its fifty sphinx guardians by answering its riddle correctly or else he would be devoured to his death or he would be shot dead by a sphinx deadly ray. Nergal had seen many young male Nibiruan gold-miners being killed by the sphinxes as they tried to enter the gates. Yet he, armed with a powerful golden trident, was very determined to fulfill his plan. He stood beneath the Emerald Gate where Lamma, an androsphinx  or a lamassu, was standing. Lamma had a body of a bull, a tail of a lion, wings of an eagle, and a head of a bearded man wearing a shugurra helmet. 

The androsphinx immediately uttered his riddle, "What creature, spoken into creation by Ea, walked before Ea in perfection at the beginning, fell from grace and was divided from Ea, and will be redeemed and made perfect by Ea?" 

Nergal answered, "It is Adam, the first human being who was made by Ea only from the red clay of Mars whom he had brought to Earth and from whom he had planned to rule the universe. But I, of the Atar race who was made from fire, am better than him and I will never prostate myself to him."

"You are the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You are in the red planet the garden of Ea; every precious stone adorned you: carnelian, chrysolite and emerald, topaz, onyx and jasper, lapis lazuli, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings are made of gold; the workmanship of your tabrets and of your pipes was prepared in you in the day that you were created. You were anointed as a guardian Atar of the Tablet of Destinies (Dup Shimmati or Dhu-Samani), for so Ea ordained you. You are on the holy mount of Ea; you walk among the fiery stones. You are blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness is found in you," said the androsphinx to Nergal.

"You know nothing about the truth. I am here for vengeance. I am the son of the ancient three-headed dragon whom Ea had murdered. I am here to avenge the death of my father. I will take back from Ea what originally belongs to me --  the Tablet of Destinies. It is my destiny to rule the universe and not that Earthling made from Mars," Nergal said proudly.

"It is from the offspring of Adam that the future king of the universe will be born," said the androsphinx. 

"I will cut the hermaphrodite Adam into two. I will contaminate the human race, so as to prevent the birth of the Savior of the Earthlings, whom Ea promised Adam and Eve would deliver them from eternal damnation. I will make all the Nibiruans on Earth become enamored of the progeny of men and take the Earthling women for their wives and beget children from them. By it, the genetic structures of the Earthlings will be corrupted and it will be impossible for them to deliver the promised future king," proudly said Nergal.

"You have been entrusted with the trident of lightning as a bringer of light. But now your heart becomes proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. You have now become the Ahriman, the adversary of truth and light," said the androsphinx to Nergal.

Angrily, Nergal fired lightning from his trident at Lamma and caused storms and winds against the androsphinx. It made a fire comes out from the androsphinx which had consumed him. The androsphinx immediately leaped to his death. He was reduced into ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching. What was left of him was the helmet and a large emerald stone.

 

Nergal took the helmet of the androsphinx, then the emerald stone which he put on the helmet, and then he wore the helmet. He entered the fortress and stole the Tablet of Destinies. He then took the Anzu, a spacecraft which was called as the "bull of heaven" since it was shaped like Lamma and armed with nuclear missiles, and flew away with the 600 rebel miners in Mars. Riding on the sphinxes, Damkina and the Atar warrior-maidens chased Nergal but the latter hurled missiles at them. 

Once Nergal arrived in Nibiru, he mingled with the princes and spread doubt over An's rulership and questioned his absence to the Constellation Taurus leaving behind the kingdom to his caretaker, his first-born and only begotten son Ea, who, he told them, would not listen to anyone and not even to the best minds and researchers on all of Nibiru for a better solution in repairing and rebuilding the planet's atmosphere. He further said there was only one voice that Ea would listened to -- that of the Shekinah, the feminine spirit of light, that was dwelling inside the Merkaba, which was kept safe in Atargatis and that this was not a secret to the savants and the scientists who had tried to persuade her to convince Ea to implement their plans but she was steeped in the faith of the Great Creator of All and the belief in Destiny. Shekinah counseled Ea that if the death of Nibiru is the destiny the Great Creator of All has set for Nibiru, they should accept it. She further told him that if restoring Nibiru is destiny, then they can only achieve that by prayer. So Ea took no action and followed Shekinah in daily supplications for the welfare of the planet and its people.

Under the insinuation of Nergal, the royal princes were preparing to revolt. They were digging out the ancient weapons from the world war. The guards at the palace gates threw up their hands and fled upon seeing the princes with their nuclear weapons. Nergal and his favorites pushed together and the great gates swung open. With renewed howls of rage, the princes swarmed through the gates and toward the palace. A series of explosion was heard. There were bombings everywhere. Nergal advanced with his missile drawn. 

Nergal entered the throne room, ascended the dais steps, sat upon the throne, and proclaimed himself as the new king of Nibiru. Nergal then ordered the rebel princes to discharge the nuclear weapons into the volcanoes which was found out later as futile.

The seven Archons and the twenty four Councilors of the royal chamber of destinies questioned Nergal by what right he proclaimed himself as king of Nibiru.  

Nergal showed them the Tablet of Destinies. He then told them that he was Nergal, the son of Lady Wisdom, the Celestial Spirit of the Great Light and that he was himself the Alalu (equivalent to the Latin Lucifer) the bearer of Enlil, the great light which was the source of the cosmic power of the universe.  

Some of the rebel princes who also wanted to be king tried to steal the tablet but upon touching it were instantly electrocuted by the power emanating from it and all fell dead. The other rebel princes immediately bowed before Nergal. But the rest who did not bow before him were imprisoned at the dungeon. Nergal then asked who else wanted to contest his claim to the throne. 

The guards opened the chamber doors, and a bald young boy -- dressed in Nibiruan kingly attire and holding an iron rod in his right hand and three large discs in his left hand -- entered proclaiming that Nergal  was a liar and that his claim of royal blood was weaker than his. When asked by the Chairman of the Council to speak his name and his lineage, the little boy told them that he was An, the one who was born from the Enlil, the cosmic orb which had already existed before the beginning of time. Everyone was astonished to see a different form of An whom they called now as Anu to differentiate him from his older form.

The boy then pointed his iron rod at the Tablet of Destinies. The tablet opened and revealed the Enlil, the round ever-revolving sphere. He threw one of the discs at the sphere and the past was revealed like a hologram, then another disc which showed the present, and another disc which showed the future. Nergal was terrified to see the future -- he was slain and his body was buried in Mars. He went away from the tablet. Swiftly, the boy closed the tablet and took it.

Nergal, together with the rebel princes, ran outside the palace. He went aboard the Anzu, flew away, and fired down the missiles towards the city. The Anzu headed towards Earth. Seeing this, under Ea's command, the Marduk fired at the Anzu and hit it which caused it to fall towards Earth. Ea watched the Anzu falling like lightning and crash-landed in the Persian Gulf like an atomic bomb.

During this time, the 300 Nibiruan astronauts who were sent as gold-miners on Earth and were called there as the Anunnaki rebelled against Ea. A hundred of them were killed in a battle against Ea's army.

The 200 Anunnaki, who had escaped from Mount Hermon to the Jordan River, were led by 14 prefects -- namely: Urakabarameel, Akibeel, Tamiel, Ramuel, Danel, Azkeel, Saraknyal, Asael, Armers, Batraal, Anane, Zavebe, Samsaveel, Ertael, Turel, Yomyael, Arazyal, and Samyaza, their leader. They called their army the Al Saifians. Then they saw that the Earthling women were beautiful. They were forbidden by the laws of Ea to have a carnal intercourse with the Earthling women. But they became enamored of them, saying to each other, "Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children."

Then Samyaza said to them, "I fear that you may perhaps be indisposed to the performance of this enterprise; and that I alone shall suffer for so grievous a crime." But they answered him and said, "We all swear; and bind ourselves by mutual execrations, that we will not change our intention, but execute our projected undertaking." Then they swore all together, and all bound themselves by mutual execrations. 

Then they took wives, each choosing for himself; whom they began to approach, and with whom they cohabited; and sharing the secrets of Nibiruan civilization and built their own version of a highly advanced civilization on Earth. And worst, they taught the Earthlings the secrets of war; the making of weaponry; and the art of cosmetics including ornamenting the body, dying the hair, and painting the face and the eyebrows as an art of deception that could be used especially by women; and also revealed to the people the secrets of witchcraft and corrupted their manners, leading them into wickedness and impurity. They then successfully mingled human-animal DNA and combined the hereditary traits of different species into a single new mutation and created giant mutants known as the Nephilim who possessed the combined intelligence and instincts of several life forms and in ways unfamiliar to creation. They had dragged mankind away from the belief of one Great Creator of All into polytheism under the supreme rule of Nergal, who had survived and who now assumed as a sun-god Ra or a war-god Gerra, after stealing back the Tablet of Destinies which Ea had kept hidden in Petra, the rock near the Jordan River. Nergal, who often riding on the Anzu, shot nuclear missiles against cities that would not bow to his kingship.

Anu, riding on the Marduk, descended to Earth and hovered on the atmosphere. He was unhappy of what he saw. 


Seeing the mother spaceship, Nergal fired nuclear missiles at it. By doing so, he had declared war against Anu.

Angered, Anu sent down seven spacecrafts to stop the rebellion. He commanded the seven Archons of Destiny, "Proceed against the biters and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and destroy the children of fornication and the children of the rebel astronauts from amongst men and cause them to go forth: send them one against the other that they may destroy each other in battle: for length of days shall they not have."

Anu then commanded Ea, "Go, bind Samyaza and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness. And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgement and of their consummation, till the judgement that is for ever and ever is consummated. In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: and to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever. And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all generations." 

One of the spacecrafts that went down from the Marduk was the Ninlil (South Wind) which was driven by the beautiful young lady Inanna. The Ninlil flew directly to the Anzu, which ran havoc over the spaceport in ancient Sumer particularly in Eridu, and fired it with deadly blows. The Anzu fell down at the mouth of the Euphrates River which impact had overturned the fishing boat of Dumuzid (the biblical Enoch), a young and handsome fisherman who was a son of Ea with an Earthling named Sirtur, throwing the fisherman to the river.

Riding on the Ninlil, Inanna dove down and submerged in the river to find Nergal, the Anzu, and her half-brother. But instead of finding them what she saw beneath the big crack of the riverbed, where the air had been vacuumed and the water could not flow, was a star-gate guarded by a winged Anunnaki who was dressed in black, wearing a metal horus mask, and carried a sword on his belt and a Was scepter in his left hand.  

She went down from her spacecraft through spinning inner rings going downward and spinning outer rings going upward. When asked by Inanna his name, he presented himself as Namtaru (Destiny). Inanna asked him the where-about of Dumuzid, Nergal, and the Anzu. He told her that they were teleported to the Underworld far beyond the seventh gate and told her that no living being was allowed to go down there without permission unless she had the keys of her own. Inanna handed him the seven star-gate disc keys. Once each disc key was inserted in a compartment by the guardian the star-gate opened and as Inanna entered through it with him one of her garments would disappear -- they found the second star-gate on Mars, the third on Jupiter, the fourth on Saturn, the fifth on Uranus, the sixth on Neptune, and the seventh on Pluto. Upon entering the seventh star-gate, they had entered the realm known as Irkalla and Inanna found herself completely naked. In horror, she saw in there Dumuzid playing a flute in front of the hideous beast Ereshkigal whom they thought was long dead. When the beast fell asleep, Dumuzi walked slowly towards the star-gate and without looking back at Inanna told her to follow him and escape while there was still a chance. But when Inanna was about to follow Dumuzid, Namtaru released deadly rays coming from the Enlil, the ever-revolving sphere, and fatally hit Inanna on the thighs. When Dumuzid turned to look, to his horror, he saw Inanna hanging dead on a stake on the wall. He ran and escaped by jumping through the star-gate.

Kurgurra and Galatur

An intelligent robosapien, named as Kurgurra, and a great nanobot, named as Galatur, which were created by Ea and who were following Inanna entered through the star-gate. The beast Ereshkigal was astonished to see them. The two artificially intelligent robots mimicked the movements and sounds created by the beast which calmed down the latter in awe. The Kurgurra and the Galatur as programmed by Ea then sprinkled the food and the water of life on the lips of Inanna respectively. Inanna was revived and her wounds healed. Inanna together with her father's robots ran towards the star-gate. As they got out from each star-gate, Inanna took the disc key and she regained her garments one by one. 

Seeing Inanna running out from the star-gate, Dumuzid maneuvered the Ninlil over her. The guardian tried to stop Inanna by striking her with his sword. But Inanna was fast and defeated him. Inanna abruptly grabbed his mask and was surprised that he was none other than the disguised Nergal. She snatched the Tablet of Destinies from Nergal including the three discs of destiny that he was wearing on his chest. Swiftly she ran towards her spacecraft. Nergal fired lightnings at Inanna from his trident. Inanna had escaped from the death rays and fired a deadly ray from the ever-revolving sphere which made Nergal fall to the ground. The seven demon robots, known individually as the galla and collectively as the ilū sebettu, of Nergal came out from the star-gate and ran towards Inanna. Dumuzid transported Inanna up towards the Ninlil but the demon robots clung to her and tried to pull her down. And when she was inside the spacecraft, the other demon robots clung to Dumuzid who was sitting on the pilot's seat. Startled, Dumuzid had driven the Ninlil to the surface, then upwards just slightly over the fields of cattle and sheep, and then surged high over the fortresses of Uruk, Badtibira, Zabalam, Adab, Nippur, Kish, and Akkad. As the tiny demons clung to his body and head, Dumuzid accidentally driven the spacecraft down to the waterfall. The spacecraft fell aground like a red-wattled lapwing and crashed in the woods with one of its wings broken. Inanna and Dumuzid ran outside the spacecraft as they were chased by the demon robots. From the woods, the rebel Anunnaki came out from hiding and ran after the two. 

Ea, who was riding the Enki, swiftly fired laser beams at the demon robots and the rebel Anunnaki. Samyaza, the leader of the rebel Anunnaki, had been hit and killed. Ea then raptured Dumuzid and Inanna into his spacecraft.

After winning the war, the spacecrafts that descended from the Marduk, except the Ninlil, flew back to the mother spaceship. The surviving rebels together with the remnants of the Anzu and the slain Nergal were transported back to Mars. 

Anu recalled all the Anunnaki including Ea, Inanna, and the Earthling Dumuzid. Before they were transported to the mother spaceship, Ea warned Dumuzid to apologize humbly before Anu for his actions which damaged the Ninlil. 

Anu called up a council meeting. He informed them of the near passing of Nibiru, the appearance of black spots on the Sun's surface, the weakening of the Earth's magnetic field, the rise of its temperatures, the melting of its ice caps, and the possible cataclysm that would soon hit the planet. Ea insisted on the levitation of the human race. But Anu and the majority of the council decided to leave the Earthlings behind for aside of not enough time to rapture them and of not enough number of spacecrafts to lift them up they had gone wicked and not worthy to live in Nibiru.

The Anunnaki spacecraft model.

Just before the deluge started, the Marduk flew back to Nibiru. Most of the Anunnaki were on it but some of them decided to stay. Those who remained, watched the destruction from their spacecrafts, while circling the Earth. Among those who stayed was Ea who had secretly instructed the pious man Ziuzudra (the biblical Noah) on how to build an ark sealed with bitumen to save him, his family, the animals and all who would believe him from the huge tidal waves which would cover most of the lowlands. 

Soon Earth began to shake, by an electromagnetic force before unknown it was agitated. The South Pole's huge ice sheets smashed into each other, broke, and fell into the ocean, creating a gigantic tsunami. The tidal wave continued North, until it reached and submerged the city of Edin (meaning "the home from far-away", it was the first Anunnaki settlement on Earth, hence its name; the biblical Eden, located underneath today's Persian Gulf) and all the inhabited lands of the Anunnaki, together with their gold mines, spaceports and cities.

Upon reaching Nibiru, Inanna and Dumuzid were called up at the royal chamber of destinies. Immediately they went inside the said chamber. At first Dumuzid was puzzled to see Anu as a 12-year old boy instead of a white bearded old man. Inanna told him that in Nibiru the oldest looked as the youngest for in that planet they grew younger as they aged. 

When Anu together with his council called out for Dumuzid to account of what happened to the Ninlil, Dumuzid told the king every detail of the truth and that it was an accident to break its wing. Impressed by Dumuzid's sincerity, King Anu exclaimed, "What can we do with him?" Then he ordered the chamberlains, the Kurgurra and the Galatur, to offer Dumuzid a drink from the fountain of eternal life and a food of immortality respectively. The food of immortality was a white stone, known to the Nibiruans as the dagon, in which a new name is engraved for its eater. But Dumuzid who was once advised by Ea through telepathy when he was in Irkalla that he could accept oil to anoint himself and accept whatever clothing would be offered but he must not partake the food or drink as it would be the food of death, refused the offer and thus missed the chance for immortality that would have been his. He thought that the same principle in Irkalla would still be applied in Nibiru.  

The name written on the white stone is Enmenduranna which means "May the Power of the Fortress of Heaven be mine!" which is phonetically read as Immen-Darna which could be transliterated into Tagalog as "Mapasaakin ang Kapangyarihan ng Kastilyo ng Liwanag!" Hence "Darna" is not only a simple anagram of Narda but it means the "celestial fortress of light", the feminine personification of the Paraclete as a warrior-savior. Though in ancient Baltic belief, the Darna is the harmony which is the core of faith which emphasizes the sacredness of Nature as first and foremost -- that is, (1) Darna aspires to inner harmony: people at peace with themselves; (2) it endeavors to create harmony at home and in the community; (3) it pursues harmony with the ancestors; and (4) it quests for harmony with the universe, i.e. with life and with the divinity.

Anu was genuinely puzzled when Dumuzid refused his hospitality, though anointing himself and accepting the red robe but not immortality. 

"There is a fundamental question which every Earthling has asked through the ages -- 'Why should I be born to die and, knowing I will die, what is the point of living?' Yet here you are, a mortal, refusing the food of immortality," exclaimed Anu. "Why did you not eat and drink? Now you will not live. Tell me, what came over you?"

Dumuzid honestly answered him that it was the will of Ea that he had followed and obeyed.

"Why has Ea revealed to the impure Earthling the heart of heaven and earth?" asked Anu to his council. "Why he has made the Earthling so intelligent yet denied him eternal life?" Then he turned to Inanna, "Take him back to Earth for him to live fully his mortal life and summon your father to me. Take the spacecraft Astraea, which is a gift from the people of Sirius, as your new ship."

Inanna together with Dumuzid immediately left the royal chamber and went straight to the spaceport. They took aboard the Astraea, where, to their astonishment, they found the Merkaba, the seven discs of heavenly garments, the twelve discs of the zodiac, the three discs of destinies, and the Tablet of Destinies which contained the Enlil. But instead of returning to the royal chamber to inform Anu about it, Inanna decided to obey first Anu's command of bringing Dumuzi back to Earth and of recalling Ea back to Nibiru. Without haste, they flew to the outerspace. Realizing that they had been followed by a small spacecraft, manned by the Kurgurra and the Galatur, and thinking that they were sent to bring them back to Irkalla, Inanna flew swiftly all over the Sirius Sector and outwitted the i-robots by passing through a star-gate towards Earth. But Inanna had forgotten to insert the destiny disc that could manipulate the time they wanted to go through the star-gate. 

The day of her arrival on Earth was on July 22, 2013, Monday, at 11:15 A.M. PDT at exact rising of the Full Moon. As she entered the atmosphere hovering over the Pacific Ocean an unarmed multi-warhead ballistic missile, named Minuteman III, of the U.S. Department of Defense, which was intentionally fired at the  island of Kwajalein Atoll, East of Guam for a nuclear testing, hit the Astraea, which impact, together with the effects of two warring storms in the Pacific, had thrown the latter towards the Laguna de Bay. The Astraea crashed landed at the peak of Mt. Tagapo, the highest point of Talim Island, which is located at the middle of Laguna de Bay. The crash was followed by the quake at the Prince Edward Islands region in South Africa, the volcanic ash eruption in Indonesia and the flooding of the radioactive waters from the tsunami-wrecked nuclear reactors of Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant towards the Pacific Ocean at the rate of 300 long tons per day.

A side-view of the Tablet of Destinies.

Dumuzid awakened without Inanna inside the spacecraft. He saw the heavenly garment discs, the zodiac discs, the destiny discs, and the tablet which had been scattered beside him. But he could not find the Merkaba. Taking the discs and putting the tablet on a compartment at the pilot's area, Dumuzi started to fly the spacecraft to look for the missing Inanna.

Looking over the lake, Dumuzid saw a rock where Inanna was lying naked on the red robe and seemed lifeless. Not very far from Inanna, Dumuzid saw the Merkaba shining beneath the lake.

 
Dumuzid found out later that Inanna was no longer breathing and dead. He lamented for her death over a time. But then he had remembered about the tablet. He switched it on and scanned the data on how to revive Inanna. He then took the anointing oil, which was put in a golden ostrich egg goblet decorated with lapis lazuli, given to him by the Nibiruans and anointed Inanna with it, from the head, her entire body, and to her feet. Then he wrapped her inside the red Nibiruan robe. He put on an aquanaut suit. Taking the wrapped Inanna with him inside the spacecraft, Dumuzid submerged the spacecraft towards the Merkaba. 

After being transported out of the spacecraft, Dumuzid holding the wrapped Inanna swam towards the Merkaba. He put Inanna inside a crystal cylindrical hydro-thermal tube full with the waters of the Abzu at the very core of the Merkaba. He then put the zodiac discs in the twelve compartments located on the woman-body-like web that was wrapped around the tube. There were seven compartments in vertical position in front of the tube in which the heavenly garment discs were put by Dumuzid. As soon as the discs lit, Dumuzid, with the use of a smartwatch as a remote control, quickly teleported himself back to the spacecraft.

On board the spacecraft, Dumuzid flew away and hovered over the lake. The wheels of the Merkaba began to rotate creating blinding light at its speed. The rotation made the waves bigger and created a louder sound. Its effects included the disruption of the electricity of the whole island, the stoppage of the boat service to and from the mainland due to the rising waters of the lake, and panic among the islanders. Still hovering, Dumuzid waited there until the night came.

But as the storm entered the Laguna de Bay, Dumuzid flew the spacecraft towards a waterfall along the trail towards Mt. Tagapo which was often called by the islanders as Bundok ng Susong Dalaga (the Maiden's Breasts' Hills). He had managed to hide the spacecraft inside a cave behind the waterfall. 

As the storm subsided, Dumuzid made a small fishing boat. Wearing an islander clothing, he fished within the lake on the third day -- at dawn of July 24, 2013. Dumuzid had witnessed a strange thing happening -- a burst of light emanated from the Merkaba and a shining baby girl wrapped in the red robe was thrown from it and landed on the boat. As Dumuzid picked up the baby and cuddled it, the Merkaba stopped rotating and its lights switched off.

From then on, Dumuzid took care of the baby and owned her as his daughter. He then lived normally like an ordinary villager in a village of native community whom he found living near the lake. He used a nickname Juan and lived with the elderly widow, Asay, who adopted him as a son. With the encouragement of Asay, Dumuzid, now Juan, agreed that his "daughter" be baptized and be named Leonarda Luzviminda. Hence, early in the morning on August 20, 2013, Tuesday, during the second rising of the Full Moon in Leo, which was somewhat a rare event coincided with the unleashing of the Sun of a powerful storm which was sending an enormous cloud of superheated particles rocketing toward Earth at a mind-boggling speed of 2 million mph (3.3 million km/h), Juan together with Asay cuddling the infant sailed to the mainland. They were heeding to the foothills of the Sierra Madre where four barangays -- namely: Darangan, Pantok, Palangoy and Bilibiran -- were celebrating their fiestas in honor of San Bernardo de Claraval. Along the way they met the people preparing the carriage that would be used to carry the image of the saint for the evening procession. They went to San Bernardo Chapel in Pantok where an early morning Mass was celebrated in honor of the saint. Within the Holy Mass a mass baptism rite for infants of Binangonan was done. The priest commented on Juan why not named the child as Bernarda after the saint instead of Leonarda. Asay told the priest that the girl was born under the zodiac Leo and it was also a tradition in her family that the girls' name should start with the letter L so that their initials would be L.L. following the initials of the mysterious girlfriend of Dr. Jose Rizal. Asay however nicknamed the girl Narda. 

Narda grew up to be a very beautiful and intelligent girl. One night on her fourteenth birthday, Narda saw a "falling star". She ran and followed it. The big fiery object fell at the shore of the lake. It created a crater. But due to a thick smoke emanating from it, Narda could not see anything. As she was about to go back home she saw the shining dagon at the edge of the lake. She picked it up and showed it to "Juan" and her Lola Asay and told them how she found it. Dumuzid hurriedly ran to the crater created by the "falling star". The smoke had already subsided. He was very excited to see a dingir in the crater. He went down and tried to open it. There he found the unconscious Kurgurra, which was slightly four feet tall, and Galatur, which was as big as a small bird. He took them out. 

After covering the crater with bamboos and sands, Dumuzid carried the robosapien on his back while holding on his hand the nanobot towards Mt. Tagapo. Unknown to Dumuzid, Narda had followed him. Upon reaching the waterfall, Dumuzid got inside the cave behind it. Narda followed them secretly. 

After the i-robots were revived, they were surprised to see Dumuzid in a very different style of clothing. They asked him the where-about of Inanna. Dumuzid told them  everything and about Inanna's transformation into a little baby who was now a 14-year old girl without any memory of her past. The i-robots told Dumuzid that they had really no bad intention of chasing them. They were only sent by Anu to give him the dagon, which he had lost during the crash. 

Narda, who overheard the whole conversation, asked them how was that possible that she was an alien being turned into a mortal girl. Before she was being answered she noticed the Astraea. Quickly she ran to the spacecraft which opened as soon as she touched it. She got inside in awe. Dumuzid and the i-robots followed her inside. She then found the tablet. She asked them what was that for. The robosapien took the tablet, put it on a compartment at the pilot's area and attached it to a mother computer. The spacecraft's engine then started. Dumuzid drove it towards the location of the Merkaba.

The Astraea hovered above the Merkaba. Narda saw the Merkaba in amazement as it emanated light. Suddenly, the spirit of Inanna in a form of a shining woman made light appeared to them inside the crystal cylindrical hydro-thermal tube at the center of the Merkaba. She called out to Narda to come to her. Narda, who was already wearing a Nibiruan aquanaut suit, was transported down through the ladder of rings towards the shining woman of light. Also wearing a Nibiruan aquanaut suit, Dumuzid, who was carrying the tablet, followed Narda towards the Merkaba. The robosapien, who was holding the discs of destinies, and the nanobot who was carrying the iron rod also went down. 

"Do not be afraid, Narda. I am Shekinah, the living spirit of the celestial fortress of light... I am the divine spirit of the cosmos... I am the Lady Wisdom who walks on the sea... I am the spirit of Hope who has been left alone in the Tablet of Destinies when all the spirits of evil had been unleashed by Ereshkigal... I am the daughter of the Enlil, the Great Light which is the Great Creator of All and which is the Lord of all Destinies. And you are Inanna, the last High Priestess of the celestial fortress of light, the keeper of the Enlil. Come, so that we may become one... so that you will be in me and I will be in you. Together as one we will fight against all evil and conquer darkness in the universe," said the Shekinah.

Narda was succumbed by the crystal cylindrical hydro-thermal tube. The spirit Shekinah enveloped Narda and then told her to swallow the white stone that she possessed and shout the name written on it. Narda swallowed the white stone as she was told. Seeing that, the robosapien pointed the iron rod at the tablet. Dumuzid was amazed to see the Enlil, the ever-revolving sphere, that had gotten out from the box. The nanobot then threw all discs of destinies at the sphere.



The Shekinah moved Dumuzid's spirit which made him shouted in an exalted manner, "Immen!" Rays coming from the sphere hit the Merkaba. The wheels of the Merkaba began to rotate in different axis. The zodiac discs lit like stars and emanated the symbols of the zodiac signs each inside a circle. The heavenly garment discs also lit like stars and emanated the symbols of the seven chakras of enlightenment. Then the Merkaba burst in fire. Soon a double helical ladder-like lights entwined Narda and Shekinah. They became one and transformed into a seraph-like form of Inanna. As the double helical ladder-like lights turned into a prism of lights similar to the magen-David, the seraph-like form of Inanna shouted, "Darna!"

And lo! The light bursts out like an atomic bomb. Narda was now fully transformed into the superwoman named Darna. During Narda's transformation into Darna, Dumuzid had also been transformed into a young boy who looked like very similar to Anu except that he is not bald. Later, the villagers knew the said boy by the nickname Ding (short for dingir, a spacecraft or a man from a spacecraft) and as a younger brother of Narda. Ding had been made the keeper of the Tablet of Destinies and the two i-robots, Kurgurra and Galatur, became his attendants. At times, Ding could also transform into a Metatron -- that is, a state when his flesh would turn to flame, his veins to fire, his eyelashes to flashes of lightning, and his eyeballs to flaming torches.

The i-robots told them that their descent to Earth in its future dimension was not an accident for they were there sent on a mission by Anu to save the planet and the human race from the destruction that would soon be brought by Ereshkigal and her revived son-consort Nergal. 

Asay thought that Juan had been killed after his banca was overturned and capsized by a storm while fishing. Narda had introduced Ding to her Lola Asay as her lost younger brother. Ding was christened as Bernardo and sometimes people would call him the little Bernardo Carpio of Susong Dalaga or by the nickname Narding or Ding.

Narda as a young girl had lived a normal life though she had secretly undergone a warrior's training with Ding. She had also been taught about the Nibiruan civilization; the secret programs encoded in the zodiac discs; and the progress of human advancement in robotics, nanotech, and genetic engineering since the year 2020.

Unknown to Narda, Nergal had been revived by the spirit of Aidoneus who had entered his body and went down to Earth with his legion through a star-gate which directly opened at Petra, in Jordan, during the Messianic times. In Petra, Nergal met his mother Ereshkigal who never aged due to her vampiric activities -- that is, she preyed on the blood of infants and small children and on the endorphins of men whom she had seduced into sex with her and took their pituitary glands during the sexual climaxes. Nergal after becoming a sexual consort of his mother had tried winning back the rule of Earth by brainwashing mankind into lust and war. Together they created an underworld kingdom, beneath the oceans, that was connected through subterranean tunnels, which activities were centered on the preparations for the apocalyptic war.

After finishing high school, Narda took the scholarship exam at the Philippine National Police Academy in Cavite and passed. She took the course Bachelor of Science in Public Safety.

Narda had only began using her Nibiruan-Martian alter-ego, Darna, after Ereshkigal came out from the fiery deep of the Pacific Ring of Fire together with Nergal and his legion. It happened later after Narda had won the Miss Universe crown and title. At this time she was already 20 years old more and had moved to Barangay Masambong in Quezon City and served as a Police Chief Inspector in a special police intelligence unit.

Later in every transformation of Narda into Darna, Ding would always ride on her back and would fight with her against the monsters created by Ereshkigal. Together with them were the i-robots, Kurgarra and Galatur. Among those monsters created by Ereshkigal were Valentina, the Hawk Woman, the Leech Woman, the Planet Woman, the Giants and many others including the original monsters she had unleashed in the ancient times. But the last powerful enemies that Darna should face would be Nergal and Ereshkigal who would assumed a lot of human disguises before turning back into the dragons of the ancient past.

If you are interested I could write the full story and can partly do the script but not entirely since I have also other work to attend to. Just feel free to send me an e-mail at bernard_montilla@yahoo.com or a text message at Cell No. 09393745327.
