What is the initial incident of malakas and maganda?

The initial incident of Malakas and Maganda, the Filipino creation myth, is the appearance of a giant egg on the surface of the ocean. This egg is said to have been created by the mythical bird, Bathala.

The story goes that as the egg drifted on the waves, it was struck by a strong wind, causing it to crack open. From the egg emerged two beings: Malakas (strong) and Maganda (beautiful).

This event is the starting point of their journey, leading to the creation of the world and the beginning of humankind.
