I got to know the legendary story of Urduja when I was still a student, I was told about the fabulous stories of love and war — typically Philippine drama as we see on telenovelas. Though I haven’t watch the animated movie of her life, I am relatively clueless about her life as a “historical” character because some said she’s just a legend and a product of popular culture, nationalist writer and historians claimed she really existed but they can give a really convincing evidence about her exploits. If you say she’s just fiction, then the people of Pangasinan would probably burn you in the stake.
