"May Day Eve" is a short story written by Filipino National Artist Nick Joaquin. Written after World War II, it became one of Joaquin's “signature stories” that became a classic in Philippine literature in English. Together with Joaquin's other stories like The Mass of St. Sylvester, Doña Jeronima and Candido’s Apocalypse, May Day Eve utilized the theme of "magic realism" long before the genre was made a trend in Latin American novels. Published in 1947, it is a story originally intended for adult readers, but has later become a required and important reading material for Filipino students.

Aside from visiting his family
specifically his sick grandfather, Philip
accompanies Sam to his hometown
because he wants to repay Sam’s
kindness by helping him get another
souvenir – an Ifugao God.
8. THE GOD STEALER
On the way to Philip’s village,
Sam is treated better than
Philip, to Sam’s discomfort.
9. THE GOD STEALER
Sam gets a good seat on the
bus.
He is spoken to with
deference by Philip’s brother
Sadek.
10. THE GOD STEALER
When Philip offers candies to his
nieces and nephews, he is coldly
rebuffed, however when Sam does
so he is accepted enthusiastically.
People treat Sam amiably, and
Philip with sullen silence.

Philip is welcomed warmly by his
grandfather despite being
vehemently against Philip leaving
in the first place.
However, he treats Sam with
furious contempt.
12. THE GOD STEALER
Philip informs Sam that the old
man wants a feast to welcome
Philip home. Regardless of
Philip’s protests, Sam insists on
attending the party.
13. THE GOD STEALER
The pair tour around the
village with matches and candies
to offer to the villagers. They ask
the villagers where they could
purchase an Ifugao God but their
search is futile.
14. THE GOD STEALER
They then visit the American
reverend in the village.
Sam and the Reverend
converse about Ifugao religion.
15. THE GOD STEALER
The reverend states that Ifugao
religion is based on fear and
retribution and that is why
Ifugaos are so attached to their
gods.
16. THE GOD STEALER
He explains that Christianity is based
on the belief of souls. He adds that a
man can lose his soul in the city
when people are corrupted by easy
living, the pleasures of sense and
the flesh, and mass corruption.
17. THE GOD STEALER
When Sam asks him how a man can
regain his soul, the reverend says
that it takes “cataclysm, something
tragic to knock a man back to his
wits, to make him realize his loss”.
18. THE GOD STEALER
Upon leaving the reverend, Sam
reiterates that he must have an
Ifugao God, stating that it would
help remind him of Philip and of the
Ifugaos.
19. THE GOD STEALER
Philip then answers that he can steal
a god for Sam. Sam is horrified but
Philip assures him that they can just
make another god. He convinces
Sam that he can do this as thanks for
everything Sam has done for him.
20. THE GOD STEALER
Sam quickly got bored of the party
and returned to the room he shared
with Philip to get some sleep. He is
awakened by a drunken Philip, who
triumphantly tells him that he has
stolen his grandfather’s god.
21. THE GOD STEALER
Sam is horrified and urges Philip to
return the stolen god. Philip
drunkenly rants that his grandfather
is wrong to love Philip so much
when Philip does not believe in the
old ways anymore. Philip mocks him
when Sam continues to protest.
22. THE GOD STEALER
The next morning, Philip leaves
Sam when he gets news that his
grandfather is dying. Sam
wanders the village and he
meets the chief of police who
treats him with respect.
23. THE GOD STEALER
He asks Sadek how his
grandfather died, to which Sadek
replied that it was the loss of
the god, the one that Philip had
stolen.
24. THE GOD STEALER
Sam is doubtful about this but
Sadek is certain about his news.
He states that his grandfather
died in Philip’s arms, and he
expresses worry about his
brother.
25. THE GOD STEALER

determined that he will not be
returning to the city. Philip lashes
out at Sam, saying that he killed his
grandfather who loved him because
he wanted to be grateful.
26. THE GOD STEALER

anything, even gods. Sam then sees
that Philip is wearing traditional

another god. Sam leaves with a
heavy heart.
