A short but meaningful story, “Maguindanao Pearls” shows us how people of Maguindanao and Filipinos truly respect and value their culture and laws to the extent of sacrificing their own family.
It emphasizes on how two typical Filipino women were bounded by their customs and traditions.
It also highlighted the love of Filipinos for their families.
It is beyond doubt, a beautiful story about a lady who comes from a rich family who is obsessed by love and a simple village girl both falling in love with the same man.
Lakambini, daughter of the rajah, was determined to capture the heart of the son of the chief of Pasigan, Walang Gulat. There was nothing wrong in falling in love but it was immoral of her to separate Walang Gulat and Sinag-Tala who were madly in love with each other. She did not think about the consequences of her actions and even led to great misfortune, Sinag-Tala dying in her arms as she begs for forgiveness.
