In Philippine folklore, the Sea breeze and the land breeze were married and had a child which was the Bamboo. As a Kite was flying, it was struck by the Bamboo and grew furious that something would strike it.
It therefore pecked at the bamboo until the bamboo broke apart into 2 halves. From these halves came Malakas who was a male human and Maganda who was a female. The two got married and had many children and that is how humans were created.
Which "side" a country joined was mostly due to which side of the iron curtain they were on, which also determined how close they were to the USSR and how much influence the USSR could have over them
