    The Tagalog creation story describes how the world began with only the sea and sky, until a bird created land by stirring up the sea. People were then created when a bamboo struck a bird and a man and woman emerged. The different races emerged from children who fled in different directions from their angry father. The Igorot creation story tells of the Great Spirit Lumawig creating the first people by cutting reeds and commanding them to speak and marry. He then taught the people skills and tasks, assigning ownership of resources like salt and pottery.

    To The Philippine Youth


    By Dr. Jose Rizal
    Unfold, oh timid flower!

    Lift up your radiant brow, This


    day, Youth of my native strand!
    Your abounding talents show 1. Who could be speaking in the poem?
    Resplendently and grand, Fair You of heavenly harmony,
    hope of my Motherland! On a calm unperturbed night,
    Philomel's match in melody,
    Soar high, oh genius great, That in varied symphony
    And with noble thoughts fill their mind; Dissipate man's sorrow's blight;
    The honor's glorious seat,
    May their virgin mind fly and find You at th' impulse of your mind
    More rapidly than the wind. The hard rock animate
    And your mind with great pow'r consigned
    Descend with the pleasing light Transformed into immortal state
    Of the arts and sciences to the plain, The pure mem'ry of genius great;
    Oh Youth, and break forthright
    The links of the heavy chain That And you, who with magic brush On
    your poetic genius enchain. canvas plain capture
    The varied charm of Phoebus,
    See that in the ardent zone, Loved by the divine Apelles,
    The Spaniard, where shadows stand, And the mantle of Nature;
    Doth offer a shining crown,
    With wise and merciful hand To Run ! For genius' sacred flame
    the son of this Indian land. Awaits the artist's crowning
    Spreading far and wide the fame
    You, who heavenward rise Throughout the sphere proclaiming
    On wings of your rich fantasy, With trumpet the mortal's name
    Seek in the Olympian skies Oh, joyful, joyful day, The
    The tenderest poesy, Almighty blessed be
    More sweet than divine honey; Who, with loving eagerness
    Sends you luck and happiness.

    The Creation Story


    Tagalog

    When the world first began there was no land, but only the sea and the sky, and between them was a kite (a
    bird something like a hawk). One day the bird which had nowhere to light grew tired of flying about, so she
    stirred up the sea until it threw its waters against the sky. Thy sky, in order to restrain the sea, showered upon
    it many islands until it could no longer rise, but ran back and forth. Then the sky ordered the kite to light on
    one of the islands to build her nest, and to leave the sea and the sky in peace.

    Now at this time, the land breeze and the sea were married, and they had a child which was a bamboo. One
    day when this bamboo was floating about on the water, it struck the feet of the kite which was on the beach.
    The bird, angry that anything should strike it, pecked at the bamboo, and out of one section came a man and
    from the other a woman.

    Then the earthquake called on the birds and fish to see what should be done with these two, and it was decided
    that they should marry. Many children were born to the couple, and from them came all the different races of
    people.

    After a while, the parents grew very tired of having so many idle and useless children around, and they wished
    to be rid of them, but they knew of no place to send them to. Time went on and the children became so
    numerous that the parents enjoyed no peace. One day, in desperation, the father seized a stick and began
    beating them on all sides.

    This so frightened the children that they fled in different directions, seeking hidden rooms in the house –
    some concealed themselves in the walls, some ran outside while others hid in the fireplace, and several fled
    to the sea.

    Now it happened that those who went into the hidden rooms of the house later became the chiefs of the islands
    and those who concealed themselves in the walls became slaves. Those who ran outside were free men and
    those who hid in the fireplace became negroes; while those who fled to the sea were gone many years, and
    when their children came back, they were the white people.

    The Creation
    Igorot

    In the beginning, there were no people on earth.

    Lumawig, the Great Spirit, came down from the sky and cut many reeds. He divided these into pairs which
    he placed in different parts of the world, and then he said to them, “You must speak.”

    Immediately the reeds became people, and in each place was a man and a woman who could talk, but the
    language of each couple differed from that of the others.

    Then Lumawig commanded each man and woman to marry, which they did. By and by there were many
    children, all speaking the same language as their parents. These, in turn, married and had many children. In
    this way, there came to be many people on the earth.

    Now Lumawig saw that there were several things which the people on the earth needed to use, so he set to
    work to supply them. He created salt, and told the inhabitants of one place to boil it down and sell it to their
    neighbors. But these people could not understand the directions of the Great Spirit, and the next time he
    visited them, they had not touched the salt.

    Then he took it away from them and gave it to the people of a place called Mayinit. These did as he
    directed, and because of this he told them that they should be owners of the salt, and that the other people
    must buy of them.

    Then Lumawig went to the people of Bontoc and told them to get clay and make pots. They got the clay, but
    they did not understand the molding, and the jars were not well shaped. Because of their failure, Lumawig
    told them that they would always have to buy their jars, and he removed the pottery to Samoki. When he told
    the people what to do, they did just as he said, and their jars were well shaped and beautiful. Then the Great
    Spirit saw that they were fit owners of the pottery, and he told them that they should always make many jars
    to sell.

    In this way, Lumawig taught the people and brought to them all the things which they now have.
