Rocket Kapre – Fantastic Filipino Speculative Fiction » The Myth List. THE MYTH LIST~ Being an Incomplete Compendium of Magical Myths, Legends and Old Tales from the Philippines ~Note: This is a list I’ve generated as a companion to–and aid for–the Alternative Alamat anthology (which closes for submissions on 3. August 2. 01. 0). Godzilla: Resurgence has a premiere date in the Philippines. Pioneer Films announced that the movie will start showing on Aug. The Philippine film distributor has.Describe your experience with conventional doctors and treatments: My name is Lindsey, and I live in Cape Town, South Africa. I was diagnosed with Colon.

It does not claim to be a comprehensive list, nor is it aimed at distinguishing between folk tales, legends, fables, myths, epics, romances or what not–I’m going to collectively refer to these as Myths and Legends, for the sake of simplicity. What I wanted to do was create something of an index of all the myths and legends that had elements of magic and the fantastic, which I’d come across in my research, both online and off. Some caveats: (1) For the books/sources I haven’t read in- depth, I merely listed the stories found in their tables of contents, so there may be stories in this list without magical elements that I’ve yet to remove; (2) Most of our myths and legends don’t have official titles per se, so there are probably duplicate entries here – then again, since they were passed down through oral tradition, many myths and legends have different versions with slight variations, so it’s also possible that different sources will have different versions of the same story. The Invasion of Warrenai. Thus far in this article series on Wargaming in the Pacific, we’ve discussed some of the key arenas of the Pacific War and sketched out an. The list is obviously still a work in progress, and it will likely always be a work in progress. I’ll be regularly adding entries, as well as key- words to further flesh out entries, but I figured that even in this rough form the list may be of service to writers and others interested in the Philippine mythic heritage. I sincerely hope it helps. If you find any other sources, please feel free to leave a comment on the page, and I’ll keep the comment on the list until I’ve integrated the information in the list. BOOKSThe Epics (UP Philippine Folk Literature Series)Biag ni Lam- ang(Found an English PDF on Pantas, a seemingly inactive site.) The tale takes us from Lam- ang’s birth, to his quest for vengeance against his Father’s killers, to his courtship of Ines Cannoyan, then finally to his death (in the belly of the giant fish berkakang) and resurrection (at the. The first deals with how Banna is born (through the intercession of a piece of betel nut- his mother eats a slice which his father owned and magically conceives) and rescues his father. The second ullalim is the tale of the ordeals Banna has to undergo (several headhunting expeditions, village annihilations, giant exterminations – the typical mythical courtship) in order to win the hand of Laggunawa, who had been promised to Dungdungan. Lumalindaw. The story of Lumalindaw, hero of the Ga’dang, wielder of a magic bolo and player of a magical musical instrument called the ayoding. He also had pet birds and a monkey. His tale involves him winning the hand/heart of one woman after another (including one sirena), and siring children with each (and every time he had a son, he named him Yadan). The Ibalon (Bicol). This is a fragment of a longer manuscript, where wise man (though, see the next bullet point) Kadugnung narrates the history of Bicol to a talking bird. He speaks of the exploits of Baltog, the first man to arrive, and of Handiong, who cleared the land of the fantastic beasts who roamed it (winged sharks, beasts with one eye and three throats, etc.) Kadugnung tells of the inventions of Handiong’s people, and the rise of the young warrior Bantong, who slays the Rabot. Some notes/annotations to a summary of the Ibalon used to be on the site of a Bicol- centric mailing list. The site has since been taken down, but you can see it using the Wayback Machine here. The Epic of Labaw Donggon. Part of the Hinilawod. There also seems to be a PDF summary of the Hinilawod, in English on Pantas. The primary hero is Kudaman, but there are a lot of characters, and while the plot again involves the hero accumulating wives, the interrelation of the characters (and a bit of wife- swapping) make it difficult to summarize. An important male character is also referred to as The Young Man of the Clouds. I’d also like to note that, while it is true that part of Kudaman’s charm with the ladies was due to the fact that he rode around on his pet Linggisan, the Chocobo Purple Heron, I wish that the summary didn’t use phrases like “his former wife expresses renewed yearning for him and his bird” or “. Both Tuwaang and the Young Man make use of patung, using verbal commands to trigger their powers, which put me in mind of Bleach and its myriad zanpaktou. Tuwaang Attends a Wedding (Manuvu). Another song about the exploits of Tuwaang, this time concerning the trouble Tuwaang brings when he attends a wedding feast, and inadvertently (I think) steals the attention and affection of the bride- to- be. This is yet another story where an autunomously moving betel (in this case, a betel box) plays a key role. Agyu: The Ilianon Epic of Mindanao (Manobo). This popular epic tells the story of seven incidents in the life of the hero, Agyu, and his youngest son, the boy- hero Tanagyaw. Ulahingan. Agyu: The Capture of Nalandangan. Matabagka Searches for the Deity of the Wind. Olaging: The Battle of Nalandangan. Tulalang Slays the Dragon. Radia Indarapatra.
