His sons, Don Pedro, Don Diego and Don Juan, face a quest for the enchanted Ibong Adarna. Its songs can heal the sick, but they also send listeners to sleep. Their father’s hope rests on a bird that is no easy prize.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIbong Adarna follows the kind Don Juan into a world where courtesy matters as much as courage. Family loyalty meets envy, while forbidden love pulls against duty. This anonymous Filipino verse romance takes the form of a korido: rhyming, eight-syllable lines arranged in four-line stanzas.
