Mr. & Ms. Vol. 23 No. 40, February 15, 2000
On the cover: Onemig Bondoc and Jannette McBride

Published in the love month of 2000, “Si Malakas at Si Maganda and Other Epic Love Stories,” is a glimpse into the rich Philippine legends and folklores about the first man and woman, fated romances and soulmates.



“Then the LORD GOD made the man fall into a deep sleep, and while he was sleeping, He took out one of the man’s ribs and closed up the flesh. He formed a woman out of the rib and brought her to him. Then the man said, ‘at last, here is one of my own kind – bone taken from my bone, and flesh from my flesh. Woman is her name because she was taken out of man.’” – Genesis 2:21-23, The Good News Bible in Today’s English Version.
