The Code of the Balete Tree
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Clara tightened the heavy, sweat-soaked straps of her rugged canvas backpack, pausing for a brief moment to wipe the stinging, salty moisture from her tired eyes. The dense, unforgiving jungle of Siquijor Island was incredibly humid, a thick, suffocating blanket of tropical heat that made every single breath feel like drawing warm water into her aching lungs.
