{"product_id":"philippine-folk-narratives-from-our-gaudencio-v-aquino-9781690644873","title":"Philippine Folk Narratives from our Forefathers: Volume 2","description":"This book is an anthology, or collection, of folk narratives and epics from different regions of the Philippines representing various ethnic groups. In the present search for a Filipino national cultural identity, the importance of folklore cannot be overestimated. Oral literary tradition lies at the deepest layer of the national culture; it is the Filipino's recourse in times of greatest joy and deepest sorrow, the spring from which flows the national consciousness. May this book (Volume 2) and its companion volume (1) of Philippine Folk Narratives From Our Forefathers serve, in a collective sense, as a vehicle with which to edify and uplift our fellow beings, as a means to promote a Filipino national cultural identity, and as an opportunity for our readers in general and our students in particular to read, appreciate, and enjoy Philippine folk literature. Each folktale and myths is followed with a \"Discussion\" and \"Vocabulary\" section for those newly learning about Philippine Myth, Folklore, and Epics.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTENT: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.The Legend of Tara-Tara\u003cbr\u003e2.Origin of Sampaloc\u003cbr\u003e3.The First Banana\u003cbr\u003e4.The Legend of the Sea Horse\u003cbr\u003e5.The Story of Yaga\u003cbr\u003e6.Tuwaang and the Maiden of the Buhong Sky\u003cbr\u003e7.Why the Philippines Has Many Islands\u003cbr\u003e8.Why Abra Has So Many Hills\u003cbr\u003e9.Hinumbacat Daraga\u003cbr\u003e10.Heroes of Ibalon (epic)\u003cbr\u003e11.Why Women Have No Beards\u003cbr\u003e12.The Taligtig Bird and the Monkey\u003cbr\u003e13.Legend of Four Lakes in Aklan\u003cbr\u003e14.Lalapindigowa-i\u003cbr\u003e15.The Loves of Aliguyon, Bugan and Kagapid\u003cbr\u003e16.The Hunter and the Big Snake\u003cbr\u003e17.The Rat and the Cat\u003cbr\u003e18.Bottong\u003cbr\u003e19.Why the Lizard Has Two Tongues\u003cbr\u003e20.Liiddi and the Wonderful SugarCane\u003cbr\u003e21.The Iguana and the Turtle\u003cbr\u003e22.Why Cocks Have Combs on Their Heads\u003cbr\u003e23.Why the Ocean Is Salty\u003cbr\u003e24.Why the Sky Is High\u003cbr\u003e25.Why the Carabao's Hoof Is Split\u003cbr\u003e26.Abadeja\u003cbr\u003e27.Legend of the Dapdap Tree\u003cbr\u003e28.Why the Dog Barks\u003cbr\u003e29.Legend of the Locusts\u003cbr\u003e30.The Hudhud Story (epic)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gaudencio V.
