There are stories history remembers—and others it chooses to forget.
This is not just the story of a hero betrayed by his own countrymen, but of a woman who searched endlessly for truth, for answers, for love that was never given a proper farewell.
In this journey, two modern-day travelers, Gabriel and Simon, take a simple side trip to Maragondon, Cavite—only to find themselves walking the same path Andres Bonifacio once took. But this isn’t a tale of war and weapons. It’s a search for the words that were never spoken, the justice that was never served, and the goodbye that was never said.

A TALE OF REVOLT
Love at the Edge of a Sword
Some journeys are written on maps. Others are written in blood, love, and legacy.
There’s something about old cities — about their cobbled streets, cracked walls, and silent shrines — that holds more than just the weight of time. For Gabriel and Simon, also known as The Backpack Boys, every destination is a doorway. Every trip is more than just scenery — it’s a story waiting to be remembered.
This time, the trail led them back to Vigan, a place they once visited in search of ghostly tales of the past. But this return wasn’t by chance.
A postcard — stamped with faded ink and warm colors — invited them once more. But this wasn’t a tourist ad. It was a call to remember.
To remember Diego Silang, a man born of courage and carried by revolution.
To remember Gabriela Silang, a woman shaped by love, transformed by grief, and immortalized in bravery.
In this story, you will walk with Diego as a young dreamer. You’ll see how love blossomed between him and Gabriela — not as fantasy, but as a fire born in war. And when darkness falls, you’ll witness how a widow turned warrior and became a symbol that refused to fade.

Letters From Exile
A Backpack Boys Adventure

When Gabriel and Simon arrive in the quiet town of Dapitan for a school project, they expect a sleepy historical trip. What they find instead is a secret waiting to be uncovered—a forgotten book hidden in José Rizal’s library, filled with unsent letters, cryptic verses, and a sketch of a woman without a name.

With the help of a young historian named Isa, the boys unravel a story long buried in silence. The letters speak of longing, sacrifice, and a love cloaked in metaphor. But who was Rizal writing to? A lost love? A forbidden muse? Or something far deeper?

As they decode hidden messages, a second letter surfaces—one that may have been meant for the revolution itself. A quiet warning. A plea for patience. And perhaps, a final act of protection.

Letters From Exile is a gripping fiction, blend of mystery, history, and heart. In this journey through time, two young minds uncover the emotional truths behind a national hero—not just the Rizal who fought, but the Rizal who loved… and doubted… and left behind letters never meant to be found.
