What’s is In

Using Imperatives in giving information, making explanations and narrating

events are the skills you’ve learned from Module 2. This time you will understand
your ancient literature stamped in the history of your race through epics, myths and
legends .

Before you start this journey, let’s have a short review of what you have
learned from the previous module.

Task 1. A Time in the Past. Read the last letter of Jose Rizal to his parents and
pick out five (5) Imperative sentences . Write your answer on a separate sheet of
paper.

1883
To my family,
I ask you for forgiveness for the pain I cause you, but some day I shall have to
die and it is better that I die now in the plentitude of my conscience.
Dear parents and brothers: give thanks to God that I may preserve my
tranquility before my death. I die resigned, hoping that with my death you will be
left in peace. Ah! It is better to die than to live suffering. Console yourselves.
I enjoin you to forgive one another the little meanness of life and try to live united
in peace and good harmony. Treat your old parents as you would like to be treated
by your children later. Love them very much in my memory.
Bury me in the ground. Place a stone and a cross over it. My name, the date of
my birth and of my death. Nothing more. If later you wish to surround my grave with
a fence, you can do it. No anniversaries. I prefer Paang Bundok.
Have pity on poor Josephine.
Jose Rizal

Biag ni Lam-ang ( The Life of Lam-ang )

Pedro Bukaneg
Don Juan and his wife Namongan lived in Nalbuan, now part of La Union in the
northern part of the Philippines. They had a son named Lam-ang. Before Lam-ang
was born, Don Juan went to the mountains in order to punish a group of their Igorot
enemies. While he was away, his son Lam-ang was born. It took four people to help
Namongan give birth. As soon as the baby boy popped out, he spoke and asked that
he be given the name Lam-ang. He also chose his godparents and asked where his
father was.

After nine months of waiting for his father to return, Lam-ang decided he would
go look for him. Namongan thought Lam-ang was up to the challenge but she was
sad to let him go. During his exhausting journey, he decided to rest for awhile. He
fell asleep and had a dream about his father's head being stuck on a pole by the
Igorot. Lam-ang was furious when he learned what had happened to his father. He
rushed to their village and killed them all, except for one whom he let go so that he
could tell other people about Lam-ang's greatness.

Upon returning to Nalbuan in triumph, he was bathed by women in the

Amburayan river. All the fish died because of the dirt and odor from Lam-ang's body.

There was a young woman named Ines Kannoyan whom Lam-ang wanted to woo.
She lived in Calanutian and he brought along his white rooster and gray dog to visit
her. On the way, Lam-ang met his enemy Sumarang, another suitor of Ines whom
he fought and readily defeated.

Lam-ang found the house of Ines surrounded by many suitors all of whom were
trying to catch her attention. He had his rooster crow, which caused a nearby house
to fall. This made Ines look out. He had his dog bark and in an instant the fallen
house rose up again. The girl's parents witnessed this and called for him. The rooster
expressed the love of Lam-ang. The parents agreed to a marriage with their daughter
if Lam-ang would give them a dowry valued at double their wealth. Lam-ang had no
problem fulfilling this condition and he and Ines were married.

It was a tradition to have a newly married man swim in the river for the rarang
fish. Unfortunately, Lam-ang dove straight into the mouth of the water monster
Berkakan. Ines had Marcos get his bones, which she covered with a piece of cloth.
His rooster crowed and his dog barked and slowly the bones started to move. Back
alive, Lam-ang and his wife lived happily ever after with his white rooster and gray
dog.

Match and check your understanding. Match each question with its answer. Write
the letter of your answer on a separate sheet of paper.

 What is It

The variety and abundance o four customs and traditions have become
evident even in the Philippines Pre-Colonial literature. Folk stories, epics, poems and
chants, myths and legends existed in most ethno linguistic groups that were passed
on from generation to generation and were recorded in printed form using local color
.

Local color - is a style of writing derived from the presentation of the

features and peculiarities of a particular locality and its inhabitant. It concerned
itself mainly by depicting the character of a particular region,concentrating especially
upon the features of dialect, manners, social customs, and landscape that
distinguish the area.

The term is also applied to fiction or verse which emphasizes its setting,
being concerned with the character of a district or of an era, as marked by its
customs, costumes,topography, or other peculiarities that have escaped
standardizing cultural influences.

Epic - is a story about a legendary hero who exhibits qualities admired in

a person,in addition to great fighting ability and mental alertness. The epic is a long
narrative poem based on oral tradition. It presents the heroic deeds of the main
character embodying the beliefs, customs, ideals, or life values of the people.

The hero of an epic is imbued with idealism, courage, wisdom, beauty,

endurance,chivalry,and justice.His legendary adventures are full of fearful obstacle
put up by supernatural forces or by people with supernatural powers. Philippine
epics represent ethnic groups and deal with regional heroes.

Myth-is a narrative that describes and portrays the origin of the basic
elements and assumptions of a culture in symbolic language. Mythic narratives
relate, for example, how the world began, how humans and animals were created,
and how certain customs, gestures, or forms of human activities originated.

In other words, myths are traditional stories occurring in a timeless past.

They involve supernatural elements and are beyond logic. Long ago, when your
ancestors heard the sound of thunder and saw lighting, they were frightened because
they could not understand why these things occurred. In order to understand these
and other natural events, they created stories to explain why they happened.

Legend-is a story about human events or actions that has not been proved
nor documented in real history. Legends are retold as if they are real events and were
believed to be historical accounts. They usually tell stories about things that could
be possible, so both the storyteller and the audience may believe they are
true.Legends are believed to be about more recent events and like myths, they may

also deal with stories which explain the origin of things, places and their names,
plants, animals and others, They are also used to teach lessons in life.

Task 6. Read the legend below. Find out the two traits of the Filipinos which
make them unique among their Asian neighbors. Be ready to answer the questions
provided.

A Strong and Beautiful People

From the Filipino Legend of “Malakas and Maganda”
H. P. Ladera
Legend has it that once upon a time, long, long, ago, there lived a maid and
a man who loved each other dearly. It is said that Malakas and Maganda were born
on the same night, at the same hour just as the new moon was rising. And their
people, whose loves were ruled by the movements of the sun and the stars and the
moon, knew that this strange coincidence has a wondrous meaning. And even as
they worshiped the newly-born babies, their diviners decreed that Bathala, in his
mysterious wisdom, must have meant them for each other. And so it came to pass
that the two kingdoms which were rule by the parents of Malakas and Maganda held
an joint festival to celebrate the double birth. And at this festival, Malakas and
Maganda were promised to each other. They would be married after fifteen years.
However, on the night of their birth, a seer had prophesied that their
marriage would not come true because an evil bird had sung. So, famine and drought
delayed their marriage for three years. Finally, when the night of their wedding had
come and both kingdoms were getting ready for the great feast, fears of war between
the two kingdoms, one as strong as the other, did not augur well for the occasion.
Malakas, came secretly to see Maganda, to tell her about his fears, but the he assured
her he loved her and that nothing would ever separate them. Everyone thought they
were so right for each other No other love was more powerful than theirs. Besides,
the young and the romantic thought that their marriage was written in the stars.
At the marriage festival, the two rajahs, parents of the bride and groom,
had confrontation over the disputed ancestral lands. There was no wedding. As the
two kingdoms separated. They couldn't understand how some old hill could
destroy a friendship of many, many years. To Malakas and Maganda, however,
their love had grown stronger than it was before. They knew in their hearts they
would find a way.
One night, when her father was out, Prncess Maganda escaped from home
and sought out Prince Malakas. Afraid that Maganda might not get another chance
to escape, together, they ran away to distant lands. Legend says, they became
parents of the first Filipinos. Their union gave birth to a strong and beautiful
people.

Task 8. Read and note down the Maranaw’s beliefs about creation. Find out if they
are similar or different from your beliefs.

The Creation Story (Maranao)

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 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.
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.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.
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.
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.

 What I Can Do

Task 10. Heroic, Legendary and Mythic Tests. Read and analyze carefully the
informative material below.

Metaphorically speaking, monsters in myth and epic are the unseen forces
brought about by supernatural beings. In real life, monsters are represented by social
problems. Mythical heroes had their share of adventures with the monsters-
adventures which they need to overcome for the good of their tribe, community, or
country. Real life heroes, on the other hand, have similar adventures which they
need to surpass for the betterment of their fellowmen’s social status. Such
adventures include fighting for the eradication of illiteracy, fighting for freedom,
fighting for national security, fight for environment protection, etc.

Think of a real-life adventure which you would like to fight for. Come up with a
voluntary community project that a student like you can do to solve a problem in the
community. Organize your answer on a separate sheet of paper.

Text 1.___________

Tungkung Langit and Alunsina

Origin: Visayas, Panay
Another creator and counterpart to the likes of Bathala and Kan-Laon,
Tungkung Langit created order out of chaos. He is industrious and loyal but
despite his efforts, his wife Alunsina, the virgin goddess from the east, accused him
of having an affair. They had a big fight, which caused Alunsina to run away.
Tungkung Langit did everything in his power to bring her back to no avail. He
threw her favorite comb into the sky to make the moon and her jewels became the
stars. However, Alunsina never came back and Tungkung Langit lived alone in the
sky. Every time it rains, it is said to be Tungkung Langit’s tears and that the
thunder is his voice, calling Alunsina back.

The Sultan Who Can’t Let Go

Origin: Mindanao, Island of Sulu

Before the Spaniards landed in the Philippines, the island of Sulu was
ruled over by a Sultan named Barrabas. He was selfish and cruel. And like a
neurotic beauty queen, he was never seen in public without his crown.
One day, Sultan Barrabas was feasting on a massive banquet by himself
when a beggar child appeared out of nowhere and begged him for a bite to eat.
At first, the sultan ignored the kid and went back to gorging on his personal
Spiral buffet. The child persisted in begging for a bite, and even resorted to
tugging at the sultan’s leg to get his attention. In a fit of impatience, Sultan
Barrabas grabbed a steaming bowl of soup and dumped its contents over the
child’s head. The beggar boy then abruptly vanished, as the sultan collapsed
to the floor. He died shortly after and was given a funeral without much fanfare.
Some months after a new sultan was crowned, a tree took root on the previous
ruler’s grave. On its branches hung fruits with protrusions on the bottom that
looked like tiny crowns, much like the one that Sultan Barrabas never took off.
It wasn’t long before people started calling the small green orbs
“barrabas” (which later evolved to bayabas), after the king whose face and
disposition was as sour as the fruits’ flesh.

 Text 3._________

Huhud ni Aliguyon
Origin: Luzon, Ifugao Province

In a village called Hannanga, a boy named Aliguyon was born. He was the
son of the village's leader, Amtalao, and his wife Dumulao. He was a brilliant
and intelligent young man who was always eager to learn and listen to the
stories and teachings of his father. Indeed, he learned many useful things. He
knew how to do proper combat, and even how to chant a few magic spells.
Aliguyon showed promise and great leadership at an early age, which
earned the awe and amazement of his fellow villagers, even children. During
his teenage years, he decided to go into battle with his father's
enemy, Pangaiwan of the village of Daligdigan. However, his challenge
was not personally answered by Pangaiwan. Instead, he went face-to-
face with Pangaiwan's fierce son, Pumbakhayon. Pumbakhayon was just
as skilled in the arts of war and magic as Aliguyon.
Upon battle, without hesitation, Aliguyon hurled a spear
towards Pumbakhayon. Without blinking an eye, Pumbakhayon moved to
avoid the spear, caught it, and then quickly tossed it back towards
Aliguyon's way. In retaliation, Aliguyon did the same. The two of them
continued this battle for a long time, with Aliguyon and Pumbakhayon
just alternately throwing one spear towards each other in the hopes of
ending the life of the other.

In the three years of their non-stop fight, neither of them showed signs of
weariness and defeat, causing Aliguyon and Pumbakhayon to develop respect
and admiration for each other. With their realization came the end of their fight.
Together, Aliguyon and Pumbakhayon developed and drafted a peace treaty
between the towns of Hannanga and Daligdigan, which their people celebrated
and readily agreed to.

roars of falling waters. The woman who had moved with a start when the sliding
door opened had been hearing the gangsas for she did not know how long. There
was a sudden rush of fire in her. She gave no sign that she heard Awiyao, but
continued to sit unmoving in the darkness.

would tell his father about Teang when he got home, after he had unhitched the
carabao from the plow, and let it to its shed and fed it. He was hesitant about
saying it, but he wanted his father to know. What he had to say was of serious
import as it would mark a climacteric in his life. Dodong finally decided to tell it,
at a thought came to him his father might refuse to consider it. His father was
silent hard-working farmer who chewed areca nut, which he had learned to do from
his mother, Dodong's grandmother. I will tell it to him. I will tell it to him.
