Marmol

Marmol is the Philippine word for marble. To some, this folktale explains the origin of the islands of Romblon—source of our country’s best marble. To others, however, the story of Princess Marmol is much more than this. It is a wonderful story of hope that points out the good in each of us, just waiting for the right time and the right place to come out. Long before the Philippines heard of the western story “The Sleeping Beauty,” written by the Brothers Grimm, this folktale of the sleeping princess in the marble palace was already being told and retold to children in the Philippines.
