PR: MOYMOY LULUMBOY BOOK 4: MGA DULOT NG DIGMAAN

Moymoy Lulumboy faces false accusation in “Moymoy Lulumboy Book 4: Mga Dulot ng Digmaan.” Written by award-winning author Segundo Matias, Jr., the Moymoy Lulumboy Series takes us to the magical world of Gabun and reintroduces us to the popular Filipino mythological creatures.

Lampara Books is bringing us the latest installment of the bestselling Moymoy Lulumboy series. Moymoy Lulumboy: Mga Dulot ng Digmaan will be launched at the 38th Manila International Book Fair (MIBF) on Sunday, September 17,  2017 at 12 noon at the Meeting Room 2–3, SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia (MOA) Complex, Pasay City.

The story of Moymoy begins in Moymoy Lulumboy Book 1: Ang Batang Aswang, which introduces Moymoy Lulumboy as a boy who is raised by humans but is actually a tibaro, a magical creature. He discovers the truth about his parentage and the reason why he is brought to the human world. In Moymoy Lulumboy Book 2 : Ang Nawawalang Birtud, we are introduced into Moymoy’s birthplace, the magical world of Gabun and the evil Buhawan whom he must fight with his twin brother Alangkaw in order to protect Gabun. The brothers’ adventure continues ni Moymoy Lulumboy Book 3: Ang Paghahanap Kay Inay  where they embark on a mission to save their mother, Diyosang Liliw and find Gabun’s lost gold.

Book 4 immediately picks up where book 3 left off – the brothers’ search for the gold stolen by the evil Buhawan. It is said that upon the gold’s return to its rightful place, the curse of the Tibaros will be reversed. But just when they thought they finally recovered and returned the gold, it is discovered that the gold is not complete. Moymoy is accused of stealing a missing piece.

Can Moymoy prove his innocence and free Gabun from the curse?
