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.
 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.
1. The pain of the little finger is felt by the whole body.

2. A sleeping shrimp is carried away by the current
3. The goodness of the ruled depends on the worth of the leader.
4. A man is the richest if he is contented even with little.
5. A person‘s tongue is only three inches long but can kill even a king.
 Task 2. True or False?

Directions: On your paper, write T if the statement is true according to what
you know and F if it is false. Be ready to explain and exchange ideas with a
partner.

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.
 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

 Task 4: Talk Now!
Directions: With a partner, make a list of the different people (or types of
people) you interact with regularly. Describe how you normally talk to those
people.

(Possible Answers: parents, siblings, grandparents, close friends, classmates,
teachers, passengers on a bus or train, canteen, school staff, store clerks,
and so forth.)
Why do Authors use Colloquialism?
Authors tend to use the language that they are most comfortable with
(unless their work demands otherwise). Every writer is influenced by the place he
belongs to, the way people around him speak, and the phrases that are used
by them. It is in such a scenario that colloquialism is often intertwined in the
language of the literary work. There are many authors who use colloquialism
deliberately to imbue a sense of reality and to render their work a contemporary
touch.
Abstraction
 Man, I‘m starving! I‘m gonna get something to eat and then call you
back.
 We gotta get this done before we can go anywhere.
 Lemme know if you need a hand with that.
These words have special registers, meaning they are appropriate for certain
contexts but not for others.
Our conversations carry words with different formality levels known as register. Two of these are colloquial and
familiar. Study the definitions below.
Colloquial refers to the level language is used in everyday speech. This presents a neutral tone, not so much
informal or formal. This is the level used in ordinary conversations. This is the level used in speaking with
classmates, teachers, visitors, etc.
Word – gonna
Phrase – what‘s up?
Aphorism – the rich get richer and the poor get poorer
Slang, on the other hand, is more informal than colloquialism. It is a level of language that reflects the close
relationship of the people speaking like teenagers or people of certain professions. This intimacy is observed in
the use of details and personal references in speech. The authority that a speaker may have on others may also
be observed. This is the level used when speaking with people who are close to us.

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.

The People of the Philippines
by the Philippine Tourism Promotions Board
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 Filipino character is actually a little bit of all the cultures put together. The bayanihan or spirit of
kinship and camaraderie that Filipinos are famous for is said to be taken from Malay forefathers. The close family
relations are said to have been inherited from the Chinese. The piousness comes from the Spaniards who
introduced Christianity in the 16th century. Hospitality is a common denominator in the Filipino character and this
is what distinguishes the Filipino. Filipinos are probably one of the few, if not the only, English-proficient Oriental
people today. Pilipino is the official national language, with English considered as the country's unofficial one.
The Filipinos are divided geographically and culturally into regions, and each regional group is
recognizable by distinct traits and dialects – the sturdy and frugal llocanos of the north, the industrious Tagalogs
of the central plains, the carefree Visayans from the central islands and the colorful tribesmen and religious
Moslems of Mindanao. Tribal communities can be found scattered across the archipelago. The
Philippines has more than 111 dialects spoken, owing to the subdivisions of these basic regional and cultural
groups.
Some 80 percent of the population is Catholic, Spain's lasting legacy. About 15 percent is Moslem and
these people can be found basically in Mindanao. The rest of the population is made up mostly of smaller
Christian denominations and Buddhist.
The country is marked by a true blend of cultures; truly in the Philippines, East meets West. The
background of the people is Indonesian and Malay. There are Chinese and Spanish elements as well. The history
of American rule and contact with merchants and traders culminated in a unique blend of East and West, both in
the appearance and culture of the people of the Filipinos, or people of the Philippines.

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.

 Task 6: The Book of Idioms!
A publishing house is interested in publishing a book about the most
common idioms that appear in language nowadays. Your team has been
commissioned to do the research and the writing for that book.
Each member of your team has to choose an idiom, research its origin,
and write a story about it. All the stories from the different team members will
be compiled in order to make the Book of Idioms. Remember to select
popular idioms, such as those you read most often in stories, or used in media,
etc. Read the example story of the origin of the idiom cold shoulder.
Cold Shoulder
When you are a guest, how can you tell that it is time for you to leave? Etiquette
says that the considerate guest does not wait until his or her hosts are tired or bored.
The considerate guest does not overstay his or her welcome.
In olden European times, guests who overstayed or were unwelcome were
served cold slices of meat from the shoulder of beef or mutton. Such a cut of meat is
inferior to a round roast and is particularly unpalatable, when served cold. Serving a
guest this cold shoulder of meat was considered a polite way of telling the unwelcome
guest to pack up and leave. This custom was common in medieval France. Although
other countries did not adopt it, the expressions give a cold shoulder meaning to snub
spread to England and America as well as other English-speaking countries.

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.

A Tree, A Book

A tree in bloom
So near my room;
Upon the tree
A pollened bee,
Two singing birds
So loud with words,
And dragon flies
With beryl eyes:

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).

How the World was Created (Panayan)
1
One of the stories about the creation of the world, which the old folks of Panay, especially those
living near the mountain, do not tire relating, tells us that in the beginning there was no 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.

Intonation indicates pauses, stops, and questions and also

communicates emotions. Varied intonation tells your listener whether
you are finished talking or not, if you are asking a question, and
whether you are excited, angry, surprised or confused.

Directions: Look at the following outline of a paragraph. The point is followed
by six facts, only three of which are on target in supporting the point. The
other facts are irrelevant to the point. See if you can check the three relevant
statements of support—the ones that hit the bull‘s-eye.
Point: My dog Otis is not very bright.
___ 1. He‘s five years old and doesn‘t respond to his name yet.
___ 2. He cries when I leave for work every day.
___ 3. He always gets excited when visitors arrive.
___ 4. He often attacks the backyard hedge as if it‘s a hostile animal.
___ 5. He gets along very well with my neighbor‘s cat.
___ 6. I often have to put food in front of him because he can‘t find it by himself.
Analysis
 Task 5: Get the Logic!
Directions: Now read the following comments on the six items to see which
ones you should have checked and why.
78 | P a g e
Explanation
1. Most dogs know their names. Otis‘s unfamiliarity with his own name reveals a weak
memory, and memory is one aspect of intelligence. You should have checked this item.
2. Even an intelligent dog might be sad when its companions leave the house.
3. Both bright and not-so-bright dogs are happy to see old and new human friends.
4. The inability to distinguish between a bush and an animal—friendly or hostile—suggests a
lack of analytical skills. You should have checked this item.
5. Dogs of all degrees of intelligence have been known to be friendly with cats.
6. Most dogs recognize food much more often than their owners would like them to. Otis‘s
inability to find food clearly indicates poor problem-solving skills. You should also have
checked this item.
 As illustrated on the previous page, you want all the details you provide in a
paper to be on target and hit the bull‘s-eye in support of your point.
Abstraction
 Task 6: Use It!
Directions: What is the importance of studying paragraph structure?
Possible Answers:
Learning to write lengthier, more complex pieces begins with

understanding paragraphs. The parts of a paragraph are vital
to writing well-structured paragraphs, which in turn build
well-structured essays.
Application
 Task 5: Clip It!
Directions: Make clippings of short paragraphs from newspapers or
magazines. Then, use three highlighter pens to color the three parts in your
paragraphs.
Example:

heritage to create a story. Make sure to address at least two of the following
ideas:
 the creation of the universe (coming from something or

from nothing)
 the existence of evils and death
 natural phenomena (tornados, grand canyon, wind, rain,
etc…)
 the creation of (wo)men and their companions
 the relationship between man and his/her creator
 the life cycle
