Sugbo

Jonas Martin had been fascinated by sea travel and stories of daring men who got back with gold and booties. So when he heard of some galleons going on a journey to the Far East, he fought hard to get into one of them, facing all the surmounting obstacles before him. Finally finding a way, he mustered persistence and stamina to fight with scarcity, boredom, and disease during the long, rigorous voyage until he found his ilang-ilang, a beautiful princess in Sugbo who likewise found him interesting and irresistible. They fell in love, fought with adversities, then ran away to her great-grandma's home, where they hid from the ire of her people who were against such a relationship.
