haay! It's so sad that our fave show has already ended but i still can't help but hope that there will be a continuation of the story. There are still a lot of ideas for the next plot of the show mainly because of the ending. for example, ravenum was only buried or kept in a tomb, he could still be resurrected, then the sugos will live like mortals but with their ugatpaks safely hidden in the mulawin tree. Then there's the idea that linang will go back to encantandia and veronica too may be summoned to encantadia as a reward from God. And do u remember what richard and angel told the viewers? pansamantala muna tayo mgkakahiwalay. maybe mulawin the movie will be a continuation of the series. What do u think guys? And i don't get it.Why would all of the characters who left avila would have no memories of what happened in avila? What is the worth of all their sacrifices and the sweetness of victory? Does this mean also that Alwina would forget her own father? Bagwis? The ending was so unique and depressing plus it left so many questions in my mind. What do u think guys? just wanna know ur comments about the ending.

(sniff sniff) and so it ends.

on the final epy, some comments:
- the decision on whom the berdeng binhi will be given was a nice dramatic touch. did not expect veronica to die, but it was the right thing to do. saludo ako sa kanya.
- kinda unsure abt letting people forget abt the past. it could've made their victory all the more better when they know the mistakes of the past and the dear costs paid to secure the good future. but it IS a new beginning.
- the only real tragedies were how savana died (YUN LANG? whatever happened to "fate more horrible than death"?) and dakila NOT gettting killed.

i'd say more but that may trivialize the whole ending (which, thankfully, wasn't sappy) and the series itself.

it's a new beginnning for us viewers/readers as well, we move on (and, hopefully, to same or better programs) but the memory of this one show rising above the rest will remain. like SS, thanks nga rin pla to the creative team of mulawin.

> why didn't he kill the fruit on the spot?
it just proves that the bad guys can still be stupid :) like when they didn't hang on to the balasik in the very beginning, THAT could've saved them a lot of trouble then.

> Please lang, patayin niyo na lang sila (rasmus/lourdes) pareho. :D
LOL! but can't be lourdes just yet, she still has to know abt aramis.

i'd agree on the big casualty factor (prob'ly on the good side). you can't expect a perfect happy ending, where everybody lives. but that's how life is. plus, a death would signify the concept and appreciation of a NEW LIFE.

on who will go, dakila is a good candidate. his death can be a symbolism of letting go of by-the-book tradition/laws. rasmus is another. he might end up giving saving somebody (but be mortally wounded), so he can finally feel some purpose in his life.

but what abt the tree itself? does this mean that as a fruit, niwalum will need to be "planted" to have a new tree? how will the writers explain how will they keep the mulawin from getting weaker?

to the author of "counterfeit", bow ako sa yo. it can also be applied to the sad state of people trapped in the same fictitious world brought about by drug-(ab)use.

"the truth shall set u free"
- this is no more evident than rasmus finally breaking from the bonds of his father's lies.
- however, the same cannot be said for gabriel, who lives in a perceived power of being a ravena, and blinds himself with forced relationship with alwina, who is not even the same sweet lady he fell in love with in the first place.
sana may flashback to his and julian/aguiluz' earlier pledge to respect alwina's decision on whom she WILLINGLY chooses- daragit, by siding with the ravena, fools himself into a prison of a false sense of protection. he is a coward, not only because he thinks only of his own skin, but because he denies the plain and obvious truth that he put avila and his citizens in danger, and does nothing abt it.
- savana continues to pursue a future for her and gabriel. hirits from niwalum (which were very good, btw. hehe) are not enough to derail her, she still won't accept gabriel's blatant rejection of her. go for ravenum na lang, LOL

---

what a great joy to see a repentant in rasmus. it ties beautifully to the show's theme of redemption and salvation. it is also an all-together good reminder that mulawin is a rare program upholding values and beliefs, a refreshing yet must-have respite from this cynical, pessimistic world, and all the 'paninira' content in most shows lately.

isa pa pala. y does it seem the ravenas have an unendless supply of red binhi while we are here guessing where that darn last green binhi is?

can the kite kaya be another option we can look at as a seed?

another thing, (puro another thing na lang! hmp!) is it mere coincidence that gabriel has the same powers as alwina - bird call, fast walk... d kaya....? haha, kasi, d pa sinabi ng show kung sino yung isang anak e! just spill it already!!!! :P

good question, bjsg.

yep, alwina told gabriel that she loves him. but of course it was not alwina saying it, but rather a controlled and clouded alwina.

as for niwalum, it is because aguiluz and alwina still love each other.

never mind that what we see now is a ravena named alwina. we all know that a ravena is a controlled being rather than one who enjoys the freedom of choice.

I remember the character of gandalf the gray during the first installament of lord of the rings. When he found out the the ring was under the care of Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf knew that evil has already possessed the latter. Gandalf unlike Dakila) was "WISE ENOUGH" to guide Bilbo in choosing the right path, and that is to pass the ring to his nephew Frodo and to go to the place of the Elves (was it Lothlorien, cant remember)and await his travel to the west.

Now, Bilbo is like Gabriel's character; very FRAGILE. And Gandalf was supposed to be Dakila. Gandalf has never seen bilbo for a long years. But he did his job very very well. if gandalf's brain is like dakila's can you imagine what will happen to the LOTR.

If Dakila is as wise(?) as they said he used to be, why treat gabriel like that? He knew Gabriel was son of a ravena, why wouldn't he guide gabriel like what Gandalf did to Bilbo. Okay, for once, let us not compare his treatment between aguiluz and gabriel considering they came from one source. Was Dakila wise when he judged Gabriel to be evil. he said previously, "alam ko ang nananalaytay na dugo sa ugat mo ay dugo ng ravena". Dakila in the first place, has no right to judge a person. Gabriel was not given a fair trial and a fair judgment by a person who everybody calls as wise. Dakila cannot sit beside King Solomon of the Bible because the latter never made a bad judgement to a person without giving them chance to reason themselves.

Dakila's charater is very crucial in the story, he knew secrets.... yes, i will not argue that he is very good in keeping secret, but he must know when to open his mouth. The difference between Balasik and Dakila is that, Balasik has no fear in telling things that he knows when he is asked. He knows his job and attend to it no matter how complicated, crucial it is. Even if it cause him his life, he fullfilled his task. Like what CH said, Dakila is spineless...
