Southern Leyteño’s folklore narratives on lifestyle and leisure
International Journal of Research Studies in Education, 2021
From the gathered folklore of Southern Leyte, this study aims to provide an opportunity to explore and gain knowledge about the lifestyle and leisure of Southern Leyteňos. The research design used in the study is a descriptive exploratory design. It is employed a purposive sampling strategy to collect folklore, in which they toured all of Southern Leyte's municipalities and asked for stories in various barangays. The researchers chose barangays from upland, lowland, and coastal areas in each municipality. A total of 65 narratives have been collected from the 19 municipalities. Findings revealed that Southern Leyteňos lifestyle and leisure includes hunting, pagtutuba, fishing, and farming. Southern Leyteňos spend their spare time sharing stories, balak, dancing, singing, and drinking tuba. Because they were used to playing, young people found riddles to be rather useful. Planting, fishing, and entrepreneurship are all superstitious notions. The bolhon or ajunay (bayanihan system) is regarded as a valuable cultural practice in which it serves as a tool for avoiding difficulties in jobs. The findings of this study should be used and incorporated into teaching children about the culture of the people who live in the neighborhood where their school is located.
Resilience of Philippine Folklore: An Enduring Heritage and Legacy for the 21st Century
International Journal of Education, Language, and Religion
This qualitative study analyzed ten popular folklore in the Philippines to identify common themes and patterns related to Filipino values, beliefs, and traditions. The data was collected through a literature review, interviews with experts, and focus group discussions with select members of the community. The use of modern technology was of the essence in the process. Journals, books, magazines, online sources, and calls were not spared. Thematic analysis was then used to identify key themes and patterns across the folklore gathered. The study found that folklore had significant cultural and historical significance and reflected the diversity of Philippine culture. The implications of the research for understanding the cultural heritage and identity of the Filipino people were discussed, as well as recommendations for promoting and preserving Philippine folklore in contemporary society. The limitations of the study were acknowledged, and directions for future research were suggeste...
In children's literature, more specifically in the Philippine setting, the symbolism of wilderness and the elements therein constitutively influence the intrinsic wildness of children. The literary wilderness becomes an exploratory platform where the stages of development that children undergo are better understood-from exploring childhood freedom to encountering a sense of self and culture. Coming from this, the research particularly focuses on the effect of the 'essential wildness' on children as facilitated by the images of the wilderness and its elements in Philippine children's literature. The notion of wilderness (or wildness) ultimately shifts the idea of losing one's self in danger to a sense of self-discovery and individuation. To concretize and show the effects of one's encounter with the natural world through environmental children's literature, this study presents an ecocritical reading of the best short stories of Severino Reyes in his Lola Basyang collection in order to grasp a conception of wilderness within the context and culture of the Filipino identity. This analysis will also attempt to redirect the general understanding of the concept of inner wildness, reconstructing it from an articulation of danger and peril towards a creative exploration of one's growth and sensibilities.
Cebuano folklore and the embedded Filipino values
2014
This study analyzes the content of the selected Cebuano folklore which primarily depicts the original values of the Filipinos. This study used the interpretative-appreciative-analytical method in examining the values delineated in Cebuano Folklore. The tools used for interpretation and analysis were gathered from selected areas in Cebu. The study identified the common Filipino values that reflect the ideal way on how Filipinos value family, community, and profession. These original values are strongly intuited and expectedly gleaned in the four categories of folklore being studied such as: (a) folktales; (b) folksongs; (c) riddles; and (d) sayuings/proverbs.
How Legends and Myths in the Philippines Influence Children's Beliefs in Silago, Southern Leyte
2021
Legends and myths are stories that became the foundation of how things were created and play an important role in shaping people's beliefs, conventions, and society. This research is centered on the five (5) chosen legends and myths from Grades 3-4 Filipino books of Sudmon Elementary School and how they influence the children's beliefs. Respondents of this study are the chosen fifteen (15) pupils from the said school and grade levels. The narrations and readings from the chosen stories include important information that depicts how the community lives and shapes its culture and personality. These stories are classified into three themes: (1) family, (2) religion, and (3) environment. The researchers use discourse analysis in qualitative method with reader's response theory. The researchers determine the most common reasons why children believe in legends and myths, children's perception of the legends and myths, and the common reasons whether the legends and myths influence children's beliefs or not. Respondents who have been influenced by the narratives being viewed to them stated that myths and legends have significant impact on how they perceive something in their lives and that they helped them understand the difference between good and bad. They have an impact on and offer significance to, children's ideas about life by directing their behavior toward their deeds. They retain moral principles from their ancestors' traditional stories, as well as what they have read in literature, to direct themselves to possess or demonstrate moral virtues toward others.
Rediscovering the Value of Philippine Mythology for Philippine Schools: Literature Review
International Journal of Language and Literary Studies
The Philippines is one of the countries rich in culture, characterized by different literary art forms, such as indigenous rituals and folk narratives that are passed on to future generations. However, although there have been recurring studies about these literary pieces, some narratives and fields of literary studies are being neglected, such as Philippine Mythology. Yet, the preservation and recognition of Philippine myths may be resolved through the copious integration of these myths into the academe. In this article, the author introduced the state of literature, mainly folk narratives, in Philippine schools and the nature of myths, including the different mythological creatures present in them. There are many discussions concerning the appreciation of these texts from different articles and studies from prominent authors, yet reliving these myths remains not progressive. Schools are one of the most accessible yet trusted sources of facts and important learning, which also are ...

Folklore, such as the narratives of the supernatural, functions as a vehicle for elements of culture such as belief systems, ideologies and shared memories. This study explores the changes undergone by Philippine narratives of the supernatural vis-à-vis the urban development of the community where they thrive. It is demonstrated that the characters of the narratives of the supernatural are perceived to be of equal or even higher stature than those of members of the rural communities. With the locality experience changes brought about by urbanisation, this folklore is inevitably modified to suit the people’s environment and sensibilities, by reappropriating new functions and roles in the community. A different impression is observed in the context of the urban community; but, the collective sense of respect evoked by the urban dwellers has endured. This is the form which the latent belief system among Filipinos has taken, one that forges their common identity.
La Torta Festival of Argao, Cebu: A Cultural Awareness
Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
This study intends to determine the awareness and interest of youth in the La Torta Festival of Argao, Cebu. This research aims to provide a program that can boost the interest and awareness of our youth despite many hindrances caused by modern technology. The program is based on the result of this study. Based on the result, the students exhibit a slightly agreeable level of awareness about the festival. The result for knowledge was falling within the "Slightly Agree" category. Students generally display a slightly agreeable attitude toward the festival. The overall result for the festival's significance is moderately positive. Students are inclined to promote the festival through social media, in the "Slightly Agree" category, this means that students are not fully promoting festival in social media. Moreover, significant intercorrelations are identified among demographic factors (age, gender, grade level, and school location) and the level of interest in the festival. Age, gender, and grade level are found to be statistically significant factors associated with interest, while school location does not appear to have a significant impact. Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected. It is highly recommended that it is necessary to organize workshops and educational sessions to enhance their understanding of the festival's history, cultural significance, and dance traditions. These sessions are engaging, informative, and promote the use of social media platforms among youth to share their festival experiences, images, videos, and stories. This helps to create a sense of community and increase awareness among youth.
Children’s Folklore in Eastern Sumba, Indonesia
2020
Children’s folklore is common in all cultures. During childhood, children engage in activities to build friendship, have fun, and above all to develop particular life qualities. Though children’s folklore did not quite attract folklorist’s interest in the early development of folklore studies, now, it has become an attracting arena of interests for many social scientists. This research attempts to give a descriptive analysis of the children’s folklore, i.e. games, in eastern Sumba, Indonesia. The invasive presence of technology certainly affects the existence of “old-time” children’s folklore. Children of the present are heavily exposed to “modern games” that overpower the vitality of the traditional games. Some people see this shift as something inevitable, and the only way to respond to this situation is by accepting this “game revolution.” However, some oldtime game supporters attempt to revitalize the old-time children folklore by holding events where children’s traditional game...
