Malyari




Malyari/ Bernardo Carpio



Malyari also known as Bernardo Carpio (Karpyo) is the god of strength and bravery. He is the Filipino counterpart of Hercules.
He was the son of Bathala to a mortal woman. He was trapped in between two clashing mountains by the gods, as punishment for his pride and selfish attitude.





a being of great strength, is trapped in between two great rocks in the Mountains of Montalban.
Some versions say he is keeping the mountains from crashing into each other (similar to the Greek titan Atlas holding up the sky), and some versions say he is trapped and trying to break free. When Bernardo Carpio shrugs his shoulder, an earthquake occurs.
