Indio is a 2013 fantasy-drama series from the Philippines created and developed by Suzette Doctolero. While largely set in the backdrop of Spanish colonization (more specifically, the initial decades following Ferdinand Magellan's expedition), the story itself starts off in pre-Hispanic times. Ynaguiguinid, the diwata goddess of war, who have fallen in love and had chosen to marry a warrior tribesman lives with their newborn child, who's later called Malaya. Things come to an abrupt end however when the Conquistadores arrive. Realizing that all would soon be lost, she sacrifices her life to ensure Malaya's survival, helped in part by the now orphaned baby being adopted by a local Tagalog couple. For a time, and with the help of another goddess named Magayon, Malaya begins to learn his heritage and destiny...only have his adoptive parents taken away and end up under the care of an ambitious encomendero named Juancho Sanreal.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Many years later, Malaya (or Simeon as he's now called) maintains a strong relationship and unrelenting devotion for Juancho. Until he uncovers Juancho's manipulation and deceit, including the oppression of the common people and the latter’s involvement in the death of Rosa, the love of his life. This prompts him to finally embrace his mission. With this his quest and battle for peace and freedom begin.The series is known locally for its high production values and being a major flagship series for its home network, GMA 7, as well as its sharp break from the conventional Filipino teleserye/teledrama. It's also notable for its historical accuracy and efforts to show things from both sides. The title itself is a term used during the Spanish Era referring to indigenous Filipinos.

comment
End of an Age: The show begins towards the end of pre-colonial life in the Philippines. The decline and gradual purging of the old ways become a major plot point.

All Myths Are True: Apparently, the diwata and local deities exist. And both feel threatened by the Spanish and their Christian missionaries.

Faux Affably Evil: Juancho. He deliberately tries to present himself as a nice guy to Simeon only because of what his abilities could do for his own ambitions.

Aristocrats Are Evil: Juancho, who's a lot more interested in becoming Governor-General than actually looking after his personal fief.

Christianity Is Catholic

comment
Christianity Is Catholic: Justified; the Spaniards also sought to bring Catholicism to the "heathens." Although the diwata and anito aren't so pleased with how they're going about it.
