Dissect this very famous Filipino Folk Song by answering the questions below:Bulag, Pipi at Bingi (Blind, Dumb and Deaf) By Freddie Aguilar (Spoken) Sa bawat yugto ng buhay may wasto at may mali Sa bawat nilalang ay may bulag, may pipi at may bingi. (Singing) Madilim ang 'yong paligid hating-gabing walang hanggan Anyo at kulay ng mundo sa 'yo'y pinagkaitan H'wag mabahala, kaibigan, isinilang ka mang ganyan Isang bulag sa kamunduhan, ligtas ka sa kasalanan. Chorus: Hindi nalalayo sa 'yo ang tunay na mundo Marami sa ami'y nabubuhay nang tulad mo Di makita, di madinig, minsa'y nauutal Patungo sa hinahangad na buhay na banal. Ibigin mo mang umawit hindi mo makuhang gawin Sigaw ng puso't damdamin wala sa 'yong pumapansin Sampung daliri, kaibigan, d'yan ka nila pakikinggan Pipi ka man nang isinilang, dakila ka sa sinuman. Repeat Chorus: Hindi nalalayo sa 'yo ang tunay na mundo Marami sa ami'y nabubuhay nang tulad mo Di makita, di madinig, minsa'y nauutal Patungo sa hinahangad na buhay na banal. [Musical Interlude] Ad lib: Ano sa 'yo ang musika sa 'yo ba'y mahalaga Matahimik mong paligid awitan ay di madinig Mapalad ka, o kaibigan, napakaingay ng mundo Sa isang binging katulad mo, walang daing, walang gulo. Repeat Chorus: Hindi nalalayo sa 'yo ang tunay na mundo Marami sa ami'y nabubuhay nang tulad mo Di makita, di madinig, minsa'y nauutal Patungo sa hinahangad na buhay na banal. Di makita, di madinig, minsa'y nauutal Patungo sa hinahangad na buhay na banal.

Dissect this very famous Filipino Myth by answering the questions below:How Butterflies Came To Be * There once lived an old woman who tended a fine flower garden by the shore of a lake. The fisher-folk who lived in a nearby village loved her dearly, and would often visit her to exchange their fish for lovely flowers. They somehow knew there was something magical about her, for her house seemed mysteriously bright at night (no, she didn't have any electricity), and some even saw a few dwarfs assisting what appeared to be a beautiful young woman... but only at night, never during the day. One time, a young couple visited the village. They were proud and hated anything ugly. They chanced upon the old woman's flower garden at the edge of the lake, and entered it to gather some bouquets. The old woman asked them to leave, but instead of obeying, the young man and woman made fun of her because they found her ugly. To punish them, the old woman touched them with a cane and said that since they like only beautiful things, they will be turned into the most beautiful insects. So the next time you see two lovely butterflies hovering near some flowers, you'll remember that haughty young couple. Viloria, Manuel. How Butterflies Came To Be.

Dissect this very Filipino Folk Tale by answering the questions below:The Four Aswangs of Capiz Once a small boat containing one commandant, a captain and six sailors landed on the island of Capiz. They sought refuge in a house owned by a widow and her three lovely daughters. These women were very accommodating, and during their meals there was much gay talk and laughter. The meals themselves were of the highest quality. Never had the sailors been extended such hospitality! And then one of the sailors noticed that his fork was shaped like a human hand. This bservation prompted the mariners to quickly be done with the meal. The mariners began to form suspicions as to the true nature of the women in the house with them. They decided to watch out for strange happenings during their stay in Capiz. The more curious three of the sailors investigated the lower rooms of the house they were staying in. There, they found the three lower halves of the bodies of women. The upper halves had simply broken away and disappeared. The sailors gave way to temptation and fear and smeared ashes on the top parts of these lower halves and changed their positions, to prevent the upper and lower halves from coming together again. Later in the night the three upper halves returned and found the rest of their bodies defiled. The captain of the mariners heard their despaired weeping and hastened downstairs. He found the three daughters of the widow who owned the house he slept in – in the form of flying night-creatures, or asuangs. The asuangs begged for him to wash the ashes from the lower halves of their bodies, and so moved was the captain by their pleas that he himself washed the ashes off with a piece of cloth and water. The asuangs were able to reunite with their lower halves before daylight, when, they said, they would die a horrible death. They thanked the captain profusely, but were angry at the sailors who had done them wrong. The captain tried to confront the three sailors who had played the trick on the asuangs, but they had run away. The asuangs pursued them, threatening to kill them unless they atoned for their crime by marriage. At last the three sailors had to submit to fate and return to Capiz as spouses to asuangs. Anyway, the asuangs made them good wives. The three sailors who were never mean to the asuangs settled with women from Capiz and became happy. The captain and the commandant stayed in Capiz for a long while. courtesy: Ma. Aileen Arcega

Dissect this Filipino Folk Epic by answering the questions below:Dogedog Tinguian Dogedog had always been very lazy, and now that his father and mother were dead and he had no one to care for him, he lived very poorly. He had little to eat. His house was old and small and so poor that it had not even a floor. Still he would rather sit all day and idle away his time than to work and have more things. One day, however, when the rainy season was near at hand, Dogedog began thinking how cold he would be when the storms came, and he felt so sorry for himself that he decided to make a floor in his house. Wrapping some rice in a banana leaf for his dinner, he took his long knife and went to the forest to cut some bamboo. He hung the bundle of rice in a tree until he should need it; but while he was working a cat came and ate it. When the hungry man came for his dinner, there was none left. Dogedog went back to his miserable little house which looked forlorn to him even, now that he had decided to have a floor. The next day he went again to the forest and hung his rice in the tree as he did before, but again the cat came and ate it. So the man had to go home without any dinner. The third day he took the rice, but this time he fixed a trap in the tree, and when the cat came it was caught. "Now I have you!" cried the man when he found the cat; "and I shall kill you for stealing my rice." "Oh, do not kill me," pleaded the cat, "and I will be of some use to you." So Dogedog decided to spare the cat's life, and he took it home and tied it near the door to guard the house. Some time later when he went to look at it, he was very much surprised to find that it had become a cock. "Now I can go to the cock-fight at Magsingal," cried the man. And he was very happy, for he had much rather do that than work. Thinking no more of getting wood for his floor, he started out at once for Magsingal with the cock under his arm. As he was crossing a river he met an alligator which called out to him: "Where are you going, "Dogedog?" "To the cock-fight at Magsingal," replied the man as he fondly stroked the rooster. "Wait, and I will go with you," said the alligator; and he drew himself out of the water. The two walking together soon entered a forest where they met a deer and it asked: "Where are you going, Dogedog?" "To the cock-fight at Magsingal," said the man. "Wait and I will go with you," said the deer; and he also joined them. By and by they met a mound of earth that had been raised by the ants, and they would have passed without noticing it had it not inquired: "Where are you going, Dogedog?" "To the cock-fight at Magsingal," said the man once more; and the mound of earth joined them. The company then hurried on, and just as they were leaving the forest, they passed a big tree in which was a monkey. "Where are you going, Dogedog?" shrieked the monkey. And without waiting for an answer, he scrambled down the tree and followed them. As the party walked along they talked together, and the alligator said to Dogedog: "If any man wants to dive into the water, I can stay under longer than he." Then the deer, not to be outdone, said: "If any man wants to run, I can run faster." The mound of earth, anxious to show its strength, said: "If any man wants to wrestle, I can beat him." And the monkey said: "If any man wants to climb, I can go higher." They reached Magsingal in good time and the people were ready for the fight to begin. When Dogedog put his rooster, which had been a cat, into the pit, it killed the other cock at once, for it used its claws like a cat. The people brought more roosters and wagered much money, but Dogedog's cock killed all the others until there was not one left in Magsingal, and Dogedog won much money. Then they went outside the town and brought all the cocks they could find, but not one could win over that of Dogedog. When the cocks were all dead, the people wanted some other sport, so they brought a man who could stay under water for a long time, and Dogedog made him compete with the alligator. But after a while the man had to come up first. Then they brought a swift runner and he raced with the deer, but the man was left far behind. Next they looked around until they found a very large man who was willing to contend with the mound of earth, but after a hard struggle the man was thrown. Finally they brought a man who could climb higher than anyone else, but the monkey went far above him, and he had to give up. All these contests had brought much money to Dogedog, and now he had to buy two horses to carry his sacks of silver. As soon as he reached home, he bought the house of a very rich man and went to live in it. And he was very happy, for he did not have to work anymore.
