Salpakan is the Filipino game of hidden ranks: you know your own army, the enemy's is a mystery, and an arbiter decides every clash. Apat na Hukbo 3D brings it to a burning battlefield for four armies.
Made in honour of Sofronio H. Pasola Jr., who created Salpakan, the Game of the Generals, in 1970. Apat na Hukbo 3D keeps the heart of his game, the hidden ranks, the arbiter and the Spy that can topple a General, and evolves it with new rules for a new generation. An independent tribute, not affiliated with the Pasola family or the publishers of Game of the Generals.

Seven moons once hung over the Archipelago. The Bakunawa devoured six. Six novels weave the epics of Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao into one story, from the making of the moons to the song that brings them home.
Who was the keeper, and who sang the first lie?
Before the Bakunawa was a monster, it was a keeper. When Bathala dies and the sky is left in pieces, Alunsina gathers seven orphaned lights and makes them moons, and a great serpent is born to carry them through the dark. For an age it sings them a low song so they will not be afraid. Then two island peoples go to war, and a young singer of the eastern sea is asked to sing something that is not true.
How does the greatest singer in the Archipelago become the Forgetter?
Sinang and Sumilang were born in Nalbuan with the gift of gunita: songs that live in the body, and take a memory from the singer every time. Raised by the last great babaylan of the North, the twins climb Maria Makiling’s mountain one night and sing by her spring until dawn. Sinang learns when to stop. Sumilang never does. He wants every epic in the Archipelago, and every song takes something: his mother, his own face, and at last his sister.
Can a hero swallowed by the sea live again?
Long ago, seven moons hung over the Archipelago. The Bakunawa devoured six. Now the last one is turning red. On the night it bleeds, Hiraya, the last student of the last babaylan of Nalbuan, loses her grandmother to the Pipi, the soldiers of the Forgetter who gave up their own names, and is left with one command: find the rooster. To save the moon she must raise Lam-ang, the hero the sea swallowed three hundred years ago, and every song she sings to do it will cost her a memory.
To whom is a heart that loves many truly loyal?
The moon was saved, but Hiraya paid with her memories, and Lam-ang is gone, swallowed by the serpent. Following a silver thread south by balangay, Hiraya and Banaag sail into the Visayas and up the Halawod, where Labaw Donggon still lies captive and Saragnayan, lord of darkness, has made an ally of the Forgetter. Inside the Bakunawa, Lam-ang finds the six devoured moons, each a world frozen at the moment it was swallowed, and learns what his epic never taught him: how to wait.
What will a people give to be remembered?
Two moons hang over the Archipelago, and the Forgetter has fled south with the Pipi, the serpent close behind. On the shore of the great lake of Ranao, Hiraya meets Bai Linamin, keeper of the Darangen, an epic so long that no single person can hold it. To bring back the soul of Bantugan she must climb the lightning to the sky, where the last moon has a wish of her own. To bring the seven moons home, every epic must be sung at once, and the price is the singer’s whole memory.
Can you make a new song when you have forgotten all the old ones?
There are seven moons again, and Hiraya has nothing: no grandmother, no village, not even her own name. She knows one face, Banaag’s, and every morning he sits beside her and sings her life back to her, badly and slowly. Then the youngest moon begins to fade. The moons are kept alight by songs, and no one has made a new epic in a thousand years. The road to save them runs up the keeper’s back to the Garden of Lamps, where a lamp with Hiraya’s own face is still burning.
Sino ang tagapagdala, at sino ang umawit ng unang kasinungalingan?
Bago naging halimaw ang Bakunawa, isa muna itong tagapagdala. Nang mamatay si Bathala at magkapira-piraso ang langit, tinipon ni Alunsina ang pitong ulilang liwanag at ginawa silang mga buwan, at isinilang ang isang dakilang ahas upang pasanin sila sa dilim. Sa mahabang panahon, inawitan sila nito ng mahinang awit upang hindi sila matakot. Pagkatapos ay nagdigmaan ang dalawang bayan ng mga pulo, at hiniling sa isang batang mang-aawit ng silangang dagat na umawit ng isang bagay na hindi totoo.
Paano naging Manlilimot ang pinakadakilang mang-aawit ng Kapuluan?
Isinilang sina Sinang at Sumilang sa Nalbuan na may biyaya ng gunita: mga awit na nabubuhay sa katawan, at kumukuha ng isang alaala sa umaawit sa bawat pag-awit. Pinalaki ng huling dakilang babaylan ng Hilaga, umakyat ang kambal sa bundok ni Maria Makiling isang gabi at umawit sa tabi ng kanyang bukal hanggang madaling-araw. Natutunan ni Sinang kung kailan titigil. Hindi kailanman natuto si Sumilang. Gusto niya ang bawat epiko ng Kapuluan, at bawat awit ay may kinukuha: ang kanyang ina, ang sarili niyang mukha, at sa huli, ang kanyang kapatid.
Mabubuhay pa ba ang bayaning nilamon ng dagat?
Noong unang panahon, pitong buwan ang nakabitin sa langit ng Kapuluan. Nilamon ng Bakunawa ang anim. Ngayon, namumula na ang huli. Sa gabing iyon, nawala kay Hiraya, ang huling estudyante ng huling babaylan ng Nalbuan, ang kanyang lola sa kamay ng mga Pipi, ang mga kawal ng Manlilimot na isinuko ang sarili nilang mga pangalan. Iisang utos ang naiwan sa kanya: hanapin ang tandang. Upang iligtas ang buwan, kailangan niyang buhayin si Lam-ang, ang bayaning nilamon ng dagat tatlong daang taon na ang nakararaan, at bawat awit na aawitin niya ay kapalit ng isang alaala.
Kanino tunay na tapat ang pusong nagmamahal sa marami?
Nailigtas ang buwan, ngunit alaala ang ibinayad ni Hiraya, at wala na si Lam-ang, nilamon ng ahas. Sinusundan ang isang pilak na sinulid, naglayag sina Hiraya at Banaag patimog sakay ng balangay patungong Kabisayaan at sa Halawod, kung saan bihag pa rin si Labaw Donggon at nakipag-alyansa sa Manlilimot si Saragnayan, ang panginoon ng kadiliman. Sa loob ng Bakunawa, natagpuan ni Lam-ang ang anim na nilamong buwan, bawat isa ay isang buong mundong nagyelo sa sandaling nilamon ito, at natutunan niya ang hindi itinuro ng kanyang epiko: ang maghintay.
Ano ang ibibigay ng isang bayan upang maalala?
Dalawang buwan na ang nakabitin sa langit ng Kapuluan, at tumakas ang Manlilimot patimog kasama ang mga Pipi, kasunod ang ahas. Sa baybayin ng malaking lawa ng Ranao, nakilala ni Hiraya si Bai Linamin, tagapag-ingat ng Darangen, isang epikong napakahaba na walang iisang taong makapagdadala nito. Upang ibalik ang kaluluwa ni Bantugan, kailangan niyang umakyat sa kidlat patungo sa langit, kung saan may sariling kahilingan ang huling buwan. Upang maiuwi ang pitong buwan, kailangang awitin nang sabay-sabay ang bawat epiko, at ang kapalit ay ang buong gunita ng umaawit.
Makalilikha ka ba ng bagong awit kung nakalimutan mo na ang lahat ng luma?
Pito na muli ang buwan, at wala nang natira kay Hiraya: walang lola, walang nayon, ni ang sarili niyang pangalan. Iisang mukha lamang ang kilala niya, ang kay Banaag, na umuupo sa tabi niya tuwing umaga at inaawit pabalik sa kanya ang kanyang buhay, wala sa tono at dahan-dahan. Pagkatapos ay nagsimulang lumamlam ang pinakabatang buwan. Pinananatiling nagliliwanag ng mga awit ang mga buwan, at wala pang lumikha ng bagong epiko sa loob ng sanlibong taon. Ang daan upang iligtas sila ay paakyat sa likod ng tagapagdala patungo sa Hardin ng mga Lampara, kung saan may lamparang may mukha ni Hiraya na nagniningas pa.
Reading order: the two prequels, Books I to III, then Biag ni Hiraya. The prequels can also be read after the trilogy. eBooks in PDF; the full Book I and both prequels are also being serialized free, in English on Royal Road and in Filipino on Wattpad.

Golden Boy Labs is an independent software and publishing studio in the Philippines. It started on a semiconductor test floor, where every decision rests on data that has to be checked twice.
We build tools the way a qualification is run: start from the standard, write down the criteria, test on real data, and keep the results where the owner can see them. That is why ChipmATE runs offline, why its pass and fail rules are visible and editable, and why our trading tools show their rules before they trade.
Golden Boy Labs is the home of six product lines: engineering software for semiconductor test (ChipmATE and AgapATE), custom software for small businesses, GoldenBoyFX Tools for traders, trading eBooks, games for the evenings after, and The Last Moon, an epic fantasy series.
Close enough to help, each still its own: the way we build tools, so every finish counts.
