DIE DAME DER NACHT


Davon erfuhr Sultan Baranggay; er wollte es nicht zulassen, dass die Prinzessin das Schicksal mit einem einfachen Gärtner teile. Er beschloss, den Jüngling zu verjagen. Man vertrieb ihn in den Abendstunden aus dem Palast, als er sich mit der Liebsten treffen wollte. Prinzessin  Bartuha ahnte nicht, was ihr Vater getan hatte und ging ruhig in den Garten  zu ihrem Stelldichein.

Der Jüngling kam jedoch nicht. Stunde um Stunde verrann, und er war nirgends zu sehen. Da begriff die Prinzessin , dass sie ihn nie wiedersehen würde. Sie brach in Tränen aus und flehte zu Gott: "Gott, du weisst, wie schwer es mir um's Herz ist. Ich will ohne meinen Liebsten nicht leben. Verwandele mich in eine Blume, die in den Nächten, die der heutigen Nacht gleichen werden , ihren Duft über den ganzen Garten  verbreiten wird. Ich will mich in eine Blume  verwandeln, ich will hier in Treue auf meinen Liebsten warten."

Der Sultan, der seiner Tochter gefolgt war, erstarrte vor Grauen, als er sah, wie sich Prinzessin Bartuha in eine Pflanze verwandelte. Gleich darauf sprossen auf ihre Blüten, die einen feinen Duft ausströmten. Der Sultan schrie auf, doch es war zu spät.

Die Pflanze, die nachts so lieblich duftet, wird 'Dame der Nacht' (Lady of the Night) genannt.

[Translation (C) Dr. Anna Fialova, 1978 - erschienen im Verlag Werner Dausien, Hanau/Main und im Verlag Mlade leta, Bratislava, CSSR.]

THE LADY OF THE NIGHT

Sultan Baranggay found out about this; He didn't want to allow the princess to share her fate with a simple gardener. He decided to drive the young man away. He was driven out of the palace in the evening hours when he wanted to meet his sweetheart. Princess Bartuha had no idea what her father had done and calmly went into the garden for her tryst.

However, the youth did not come. Hour after hour passed and he was nowhere to be seen. Then the princess realized that she would never see him again. She burst into tears and pleaded with God: "God, you know how heavy my heart is. I don't want to live without my loved one. Turn me into a flower that in the nights that will be like tonight, will spread its scent over the entire garden. I want to transform myself into a flower, I want to wait here faithfully for my loved one."

The Sultan, who had been following his daughter, froze in horror when he saw Princess Bartuha turn into a plant. Immediately afterwards, their flowers sprouted and exuded a delicate scent. The Sultan screamed, but it was too late.

The plant that smells so sweet at night is called 'Lady of the Night'.

Nxled made short work of Capital1, 25-17, 25-23, 25-18, to finally barge into the win column in the PVL On Tour at the Chavit Coliseum in Vigan City, Ilocos Sur on Saturday, July 25.
Veteran spiker Myla Pablo spearheaded the Chameleons’ assault with an all-around game of 12 points, four blocks and one ace to finish with 17 points for their first win in two outings.
The victory somehow erased the sting of a four-set loss to the Creamline Cool Smashers in Ilagan City two weeks ago.
Nxled coach Guidetti Ettore said they tried not to put too much pressure on the game.
“To be honest, I think we just really enjoyed playing today. It was super fun,” said Ettore.
He added they are slowly trying to work on their cohesion with veteran setter Gel Cayuna, who was acquired off-season.
“The setter is basically the coach on the floor, so it’s super important for us to create connection,” Ettore said. “Today, we have some examples of misunderstanding with some combos and this is something that we have to develop day by day.”
Cayuna delivered 17 of the team’s 25 excellent sets for the Chameleons, who saw mostly everyone contributing a little of everything. Jonah Sabete also stepped up for Nxled with 13 points.
While the Chameleons were solid offensively, they also banked on their defense with Pablo and Sabete combining for six of the team’s 10 blocks.
They also limited the Solar Spikers to 34 kills, with no player scoring in double figures.
Shaya Adorador was the best performer for Capital1 with six points.

On July 30, 2026, the City Government of Davao, through the Davao City Investment Promotion Center (DCIPC), facilitated a high-level courtesy call between City Mayor Sebastian "Baste" Duterte and His Excellency Andreas Pfaffernoschke, Ambassador of Germany to the Philippines. Marking his first official visit to Davao City, Ambassador Pfaffernoschke praised the city's notable cleanliness, order, and overall high quality of life, emphasizing that fully understanding the Philippines requires engaging directly with regions outside Metro Manila.
Joining Mayor Duterte to welcome the German envoy were Councilor J. Melchor Quitain, Jr. and Councilor Ragde Niño Ibuyan, alongside Mr. Harvey James Lanticse, Officer-in-Charge of the City Information Office (CIO), and Mr. Christian D. Cambaya, Acting Officer-in-Charge of the DCIPC. Representatives from the City Economic Enterprises Office (CEEO), City Tourism Operations Office (CTOO), and the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) were also in attendance to support the bilateral discussions.
The diplomatic delegation visited the city primarily for the Davao leg of the Regional Green Investment Dialogue 2026 Forum at Dusit Thani. The forum brought together German and Philippine-based experts and businesses to connect regional stakeholders with international expertise in renewable energy, smart grids, energy storage, and industrial decarbonization. Ambassador Pfaffernoschke highlighted the crucial role of green energy, sustainability, and targeted investments in addressing local energy challenges, noting that "challenging times are a reason to stick together" as the European Union and the Philippines deepen their cooperation.
During the executive dialogue, Mayor Duterte shared key local priorities, pointing out Davao City's immense potential for tourism while outlining city efforts to strengthen education and establish a dedicated department for housing. Expressing his delight at his assignment to the Philippines, Ambassador Pfaffernoschke reaffirmed Germany's commitment to shared progress and sustainable development. The milestone meeting concluded with a traditional exchange of tokens of appreciation, cementing a strong foundation for future green investments and bilateral collaboration.
