III. LEARNING TASKS
Introduction: Long before the Spaniards came to the Philippines, the Filipinos
already have their own culture. It was influenced by Malaysians, Indonesians,
Chinese, Arabs, Persians, and other foreigners who came to trade with them.
Much of ancient literature was oral, community-bound, and derived from the
peoples‘ experiences and observations. So why do you think we should study the
literatures of the Philippines?

Notes on Philippine Literature during Pre-colonial Period:

The diversity and richness of Philippine literature evolved side by side with the country's history. This can best be
appreciated in the context of the country's pre-colonial cultural traditions and the socio-political histories of its colonial
and contemporary traditions.

The average Filipino's unfamiliarity with his indigenous literature was largely due to what has been impressed upon him:
that his country was "discovered" and, hence, Philippine "history" started only in 1521.

Pre-Colonial Times

Owing to the works of our own archaeologists, ethnologists and anthropologists, we are able to know more and
better judge information about our pre-colonial times set against a bulk of material about early Filipinos as recorded by
Spanish, Chinese, Arabic and other chroniclers of the past.

Pre-colonial inhabitants of our islands showcase a rich past through their folk speeches, folk songs, folk narratives and
indigenous rituals and mimetic dances that affirm our ties with our Southeast Asian neighbors.

The most seminal of these folk speeches is the riddle which is tigmo in Cebuano, bugtong in Tagalog, paktakon in
Ilongo and patototdon in Bicol. Central to the riddle is the talinghaga or metaphor because it "reveals subtle
resemblances between two unlike objects" and one's power of observation and wit are put to the test. While some
riddles are ingenious, others verge on the obscene or are sex-related.

The proverbs or aphorisms express norms or codes of behavior, community beliefs or they instill values by offering
nuggets of wisdom in short, rhyming verse.

The extended form, tanaga, a mono-riming heptasyllabic quatrain expressing insights and lessons on life is "more
emotionally charged than the terse proverb and thus has affinities with the folk lyric." Some examples are the basahanon or
extended didactic sayings from Bukidnon and the daraida and daragilon from Panay.

The folk song, a form of folk lyric which expresses the hopes and aspirations, the people's lifestyles as well as their
loves. These are often repetitive and sonorous, didactic and naive as in the children's songs or Ida-
ida (Maguindanao), tulang pambata (Tagalog) or cansiones para abbing (Ibanag).

A few examples are the lullabyes or Ili-ili (Ilongo); love songs like the panawagon and balitao (Ilongo); harana
or serenade (Cebuano); the bayok (Maranao); the seven-syllable per line poem, ambahan of the Mangyans that are
about human relationships, social entertainment and also serve as a tool for teaching the young; work songs that depict
the livelihood of the people often sung to go with the movement of workers such as the kalusan (Ivatan), soliranin
(Tagalog rowing song) or the mambayu, a Kalinga rice-pounding song; the verbal jousts/games like the duplo popular during
wakes.

Other folk songs are the drinking songs sung during carousals like the tagay (Cebuano and Waray); dirges
and lamentations extolling the deeds of the dead like the kanogon (Cebuano) or the Annako (Bontoc).

A type of narrative song or kissa among the Tausug of Mindanao, the parang sabil, uses for its subject matter the
exploits of historical and legendary heroes. It tells of a Muslim hero who seeks death at the hands of non-Muslims.

The folk narratives, i.e. epics and folk tales are varied, exotic and magical. They explain how the world was
created, how certain animals possess certain characteristics, why some places have waterfalls, volcanoes, mountains, flora or
fauna and, in the case of legends, an explanation of the origins of things. Fables are about animals and these teach moral
lessons.

Our country's epics are considered ethno-epics because unlike, say, Germany's Niebelunginlied, our epics are not
national for they are "histories" of varied groups that consider themselves "nations."

The epics come in various names: Guman (Subanon); Darangen (Maranao); Hudhud (Ifugao); and Ulahingan (Manobo).
These epics revolve around supernatural events or heroic deeds and they embody or validate the beliefs and customs and
ideals of a community. These are sung or chanted to the accompaniment of indigenous musical instruments and dancing
performed during harvests, weddings or funerals by chanters. The chanters who were taught by their ancestors
are considered "treasures" and/or repositories of wisdom in their communities.

Examples of these epics are the Lam-ang (Ilocano); Hinilawod (Sulod); Kudaman (Palawan); Darangen (Maranao);
Ulahingan (Livunganen-Arumanen Manobo); Mangovayt Buhong na Langit (The Maiden of the Buhong Sky from Tuwaang--
Manobo); Ag Tobig neg Keboklagan (Subanon); and Tudbulol (T'boli).

III. LEARNING TASKS
Introduction: We are not aware that the statements that our grandparents use
while conversing with their peers are nuggets of wisdom during their times.
Wisdom in the pre-colonial period was not just theoretical knowledge but
practical expertise. It was passed on from generations to generations, with
versions and translations varying from one region to another, Filipino proverbs or
salawikain, reflect traditional Filipino beliefs, and customs. The wisdom it gives is
encapsulated in short rhyming two-liners easy to remember.

Preliminary Activity:
 Task 1: Form It!
Directions: Each group will be given a jumbled proverb in cut-out strips of
paper and form it for 1 minute.

III. LEARNING TASKS

Introduction: In general, Filipinos are fond of inventing words and borrowing
foreign terms and use them to vary spoken language. Even students like you
develop your own slang words. Tagalog slang words come and go, and usually
the life of a slang word depends on where it was created (e.g., television, radio
shows) and how often they are used. In this lesson, you will examine the
language and be aware of the changes in your own language use.

Preliminary Activity:
 Task 1: Text Speak!
Directions: Acronyms are combination of letters and numbers that stand
for certain words or phrases. They are often used in instant messages,
informal emails, and text messages. Which of the common acronyms below
do you know?

III. LEARNING TASKS

Introduction: One of the first problems in pronunciation is how to differentiate
between letters and sounds. In English there are over 60 distinct sounds; Webster
gives 64. Since all of these sounds have to be represented by 26 letters, the
alphabet is badly overworked. This fact accounts for many difficulties in
pronunciation. We write in letters but we speak in sounds. If we insist upon
considering letters and sounds as identical, we shall find ourselves completely
confused.

Preliminary Activity:

The Filipino is basically of Malay stock with a sprinkling of Chinese, American, Spanish and Arab blood.
The Philippines has a population of 70 million, and it is hard to distinguish accurately the lines between
stocks. From a long history of Western colonial rule, interspersed with the visits of merchants and traders
evolved a people of a unique blend of east and west, both in appearance and culture.

 The Origin of This World (Maranao)
from the Anthology of Philippine Myths by Damiana L. Eugenio

1 According to Maranaw folklore, this world was created by a great Being. It is not
known, however, who exactly is this great Being. Or how many days it took him to create
this world.
2 This world is divided into seven layers. The earth has also seven layers. Each layer
is inhabited by a different kind of being. The uppermost layer, for example, is the place
we are inhabiting. The second layer is being inhabited by dwarfs. These dwarfs are
short, plump, and long-haired. They are locally known as Karibanga. The Karibangaare
said to possess magical powers. They are usually invisible to the human eye. The third layer
of the earth which is found under the sea or lake is inhabited by nymphs. These nymphs
also possess certain magical powers. It is stated in the story of Rajah Indarapatra that he
met and fell in love with the princess-nymph with whom he had a child.
3 The sky also consists of seven layers. Each layer has a door which is guarded
day and night by huge mythical birds called garoda. The seventh layer of the sky is the
seat of heaven which is also divided into seven layers. Every layer in the sky is inhabited by
angels. Maranaws believe that angels do not need food. They all possess wings with which
they fly

4 Heaven which is found on the seventh layer of the sky is where good people‗s spirits
go after death. Saints are assigned to the seventh layer while persons who ―barely made
it‖ are confined to the lower most layer which is found at the bottom of heaven.
5 It is in heaven where we find the tree-of-life. On each leaf of the tree-of-life is written
the name of every person living on earth. As soon as a leaf ripens or dries and falls, the
person whose name it carries also dies.

6 The soul of every person is found in tightly covered jars kept in one section of
heaven. This particular section of heaven is closely guarded by a monster with a thousand
eyes, named Walo. Walo, in addition to his thousand eyes, has also eight hairy heads. The
epic Darangan speaks of Madale, Bantugan‗s brother and, Mabaning, Husband of
Lawanen, entering this section and retrieving the soul of Bantugan.

Directions: Every language and culture has its own set of idioms, and the
Filipinos have their own as well. Look at the example Filipino idiom below
and try to give its literal English translation.

III. LEARNING TASKS

Introduction: Like other languages, English has a fixed stress pattern for words
containing more than one syllable. This means that a particular syllable in a word
is said with more force than the others. Many ESL students lack an understanding
of English sentence stress, however, often giving each syllable equal length,
resulting in monotonous and difficult to understand speech.

Directions: You will be assigned to read the sentence below.
―I love my sister.‖ ―I love my sister.‖
―I love my sister.‖ ―I love my sister.‖

Introduction: Writing is a form of communication that utilizes language to
deliver an intended message to particular readers within a context. As a form of
communication both technical and literary writing consist of source, content,
channel, audience and context. They differ in their characteristics and indicators
of those elements in practice or operation.

Preliminary Activity

III. LEARNING TASKS

Introduction: One way of approaching creation myths is to outline some of the
themes that commonly occur in them. Individual creation myths cannot be
expected to conform rigidly to a single modern stereotype. Rather, any creation
myth will have several thematic features to a greater or lesser degree. This is the
rule rather than the exception. In this lesson, we will attempt to deal with some of
the main themes occurring in creation myths, particularly in Origin of this World
(Maranao) and How the World was Created (Panayan).

Preliminary Activity
 Task 1: Think-Pair-Share!
Directions: In this activity, you will (1) think individually to answer a question;
(2) pair with a partner and discuss the question; and (3) share ideas with the
rest of the class.

Think: What are the two most popular creation stories today? How
does each influence the way we think about the world?

Pair: Discuss these ideas with today‘s study partner.

Share: Share your ideas with the class.

Activity
 Task 1: Character Study
Directions: In the Venn diagram below, compare and contrast the two
characters in the story. The overlapping part of the diagram should contain
at least three similarities of the two characters while the external regions
should contain at least three of the unique qualities of each character.

heaven or earth—only a bottomless deep and a world of mist. Everything was
shapeless and formless—the earth, the sky, the sea, and the air were almost
all mixed up.

2
Then from the depth of this formless void, there appeared two gods, —Tungkung Langit and
Alunsina. Just where the two deities came from it was not known. However, it is related that
Tungkung Langit fell in love with Alunsina and, after so many years of courtship, they
got married and had their abode in the highest realm of the eternal space where the water
was constantly warm and the breeze was forever cool. It was in this place where order
and regularity first took place.
3
Tungkung Langit was an industrious, loving, and kind god whose chief concern was how to impose order over
the whole confused set-up of things. He assumed responsibility for the regular cosmic movement. On the other hand,
Alunsina was a lazy, jealous, and selfish goddess whose only work was to sit by the window of their heavenly home,
and amuse herself with her pointless thoughts. Sometimes, she would go down from the house, sit down by a pool near their
doorstep and comb her long, jet-black hair all day long.

4
One day Tungkung Langit told his wife that he would be away from home for sometime to put an end to the
chaotic disturbances in the flow of time and in the position of things. The jealous Alunsina, however, sent the sea breeze to
spy on Tungkung Langit. This made the latter very angry upon knowing about it.

5
Immediately after his return from the trip, he called this act to her attention saying that it was ungodly of her to be jealous,
there being no other creature living in the world except the two of them. This reproach was resented by Alunsina, and
a quarrel between them followed.

6
Tungkung Langit lost his temper. In this rage, he divested his wife of powers and drove her away. No one knew where
Alunsina went; she merely disappeared.

7
Several days after Alunsina left, however, Tungkung Langit felt very lonely. He realized what he had done. Somehow,
it was too late even to be sorry about the whole matter. The whole place once vibrant with Alunsina‗s sweet voice, suddenly
became cold and desolate. In the morning, when he woke up he would find himself alone and in the afternoon when he
came home, he would feel the same loneliness creeping deep in his heart because there was no one to meet him at
the doorstep or soothe the aching muscles of his arms.

8
For months, Tungkung Langit lived in utter desolation. He could not find Alunsina, try hard as he would. And so, in his
desperation, he decided to do something in order to forget his sorrows. For months and months he thought. His mind
seemed pointless, his heart, weary, and sick. But he must have to do something about his loneliness.

9
One day, while he was sailing across the regions of the clouds, a thought came to him. He would make a big basin of
water below the sky so that he can see the image of his wife, if she were just somewhere in the regions above. And lo! The
sea appeared. However, Alunsina was never seen.

10
After a long time, the somber sight of the lonely sea irritated Tungkung Langit. So he came down to the Middleworld
and created the land; then he planted this with grasses, trees, and flowers. He took his wife‗s treasured jewels and
scattered them in the sky, hoping that when Alunsina would see them she might be induced to return home. The goddess‗
necklace became the stars, her comb the moon, and her crown the sun. However, despite all these Alunsina did not
come back.

11
And up to this time, the folks in Panay say that Tungkung Langit is alone in his palace in the skies. Sometimes, he would
cry out of his pent-up emotions and his tears would fall down upon the earth. The people say that rain is Tungkung Langit‗s
tears and that is why in some localities in the island of Panay, the first rain in May is received with much rejoicing and
sacrifice. Incidentally, when it thunders hard, the old folks also say that it is Tungkung Langit sobbing, calling for
his beloved Alunsina to come back – entreating her so hard that his voice thunders across the fields and countryside.
