Book Synopsis Outline of Philippine Mythology by : F. Jocano
Download or read book Outline of Philippine Mythology written by F. Jocano and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of Philippine myths and tales of wonder grouped under a few large headings and strung together with a minimum of unobtrusive commentary by an outstanding Filipino scholar, Dr. F. Landa Jocano. The stories are drawn both from previously published materials and from Dr. Jocano's own researches, especially in the interior fastnesses of his native Panay. While there is no attempt at comprehensiveness, one is struck by the richness and variety of these Philippine stories of gods, spirits and heroes. The variety is such as at times to induce confusion, especially where the same proper name is given to different divinities or variants of the same narrative are used. These gleanings from the traditions of our animistic forefathers reveal some strands which they may have had in common with some of the major world religions. For example, Dr. Jocano tells us that the early Tagalogs believed in the transmigration of the soul. One would surmise a common culture trait with Indian civilization. Likewise, some details remind one of Biblical lore, such as the flood story, and the use of clay in the making of man as found both in Igorot and Bagobo traditions. The Bisayan divinity Magyan and the Manobo spirit Manduyapit, both of whom ferried the souls of the dead to the afterworld, bear a strong resemblance to Charon of Greek mythology. Some stories may suggest conditions prevailing at the time. For example, there is an extremely interesting reference to lending money at high interest in the Sambal legend of the shark, possibly an indication that the story arose in the early phases of the introduction of money into a subsistence economy. Clearer still are indications of the prevailing ethos among certain people. For example, the Panay epic of Hinilawod narrates the matrimonial exploits of some of its heroes. Labaw Donggon, on his way home with a new bride, hears about another beautiful woman and promptly leaves his wife with his mother and proceeds to court and win a second wife. However, his try for a third bride, a married woman, is not as successful. His brother Humadapnon wins a bride with a feat of strength and magic and then, hearing during the wedding feast about the beauty of another goddess, goes forth to woo and win her. Later, it appears that he also takes a third wife. Perhaps these stories are meant to show that in mythological times men were men, and they may also help to explain the marital behavior of their modern day descendants! Other stories lead one to question whether they antedate the coming of the Spaniards, or whether post-Magellanic traditions have been added to the pre-Hispanic accounts. For example, the Bisayan story of Hari-sa-bukid refers to the planting of tobacco on the slopes of Mt. Kanlaon. Since tobacco is an American plant and was unknown in this country before the coming of western explorers, one wonders what part of the story is pre-Hispanic, if any. Likewise, the Ilocano legend of "Lam-ang", while apparently pre-Hispanic in its framework, makes reference to various introduced features such as tobacco, Christian names like Juan, Marcos, Pasyo and Ines, and a church wedding with a nuptial mass followed by feasting where the Fandango is danced. Some of these tales have been analyzed by scholars, both Filipinos and foreigners. Others remain to be collected and collated, as Dr. Jocano's own work demonstrates. Some day it is hoped that we can have an encyclopedic work on Philippine mythology, similar to those available for Greek, Roman, Germanic and Scandinavian folklore. In the meantime, this book may serve as an introduction for laymen to this highly interesting phase of our people's culture.
Book Synopsis Authentic Though Not Exotic by : Fernando Nakpil Zialcita
Download or read book Authentic Though Not Exotic written by Fernando Nakpil Zialcita and published by Ateneo University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays offers another way to look at the encounter between the Western and the indigenous. It suggests that through a dialectical process, this encounter has generated a broader sense of community that has transcended the kin. Local genius transformed Spanish influences, even as it was itself transformed by the latter, resulting in a new culture. Finally, "Southeast Asia" is a recent construct that should be redefined to reflect the diversity of cultures present in it.
Download or read book Torture Team written by Philippe Sands and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2009 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After 9/11. George W. Bush's administration declared that they were going to have to work through 'the dark side'. And they did: they turned their backs on international law and on America's history of respecting human rights. They wanted only legal advice that made it okay to torture, and they made sure they got it. Voices of dissent were sidelined, while low level officials brainstormed interrogation techniques and took their lead from Jack Bauer in 24. In Torture Team, Philippe Sands tracks down and interviews those responsible, and makes a compelling case that, in an ugly blotch on Americda's recent past, war crimes were committed for which no one has yet been held to account.
