 Paragraphs:

Damiana L. Eugenio, a distinguished scholar of Philippine Folklore compiled

and edited what may very well be considered as the most comprehensive collection
of proverbs in our country. There is a limited number of works like this in existence.
She spent a lifetime collecting pieces of folk literature that reveal our ancestors’
wisdom.

Our proverbs are not only witty expressions. They are also our cultural
treasures. As we continue to use them in various spoken or written forms and as we
explore ways of representing them in graphic, musical, or dramatic modes, we
facilitate their preservation. And through these, we strengthen our identity as a
people.

B. then the teacher will add additional information like this.

This is good to know!

Phonetics is the study of the sounds of language.  These sounds are

called phonemes.

Diphthongs or double vowels:  bite, cow, and boy.  Diphthongs involve off-glides: You
can hear the y in bite and boy, and the w in cow.

Semivowels are sounds that are, as the name implies, very nearly vowels.  In English,
we have w and y, which you can see are a lot like vowels such as oo and ee, but with the
lips almost closed for w and the tongue almost touching the palate for y.  They are also
called glides since they normally “glide” into or out of vowel positions (as in woo, yeah, ow,
and oy).

Consonant Blend: a sequence of two or three consonants, each of which is heard.

Examples: “sh” and “ch”

TASK 6: Revelation of Truth

 Read the selection and find out how witty our ancestors were, and what they

Words of Wisdom

Damiana L. Eugenio, a distinguished scholar of Philippine Folklore compiled and edited

what may very well be considered as the most comprehensive collection of proverbs in our
country. There is a limited number of works like this in existence. She spent a lifetime
collecting pieces of folk literature that reveal our ancestors’ wisdom. When she gathered
proverbs from various areas in our country, she declared that our elders lived by simple, yet
very meaningful rules of righteous living.

In fact, she asserted that even the Spaniards who colonized our country noticed how
proverbs formed part of the native spirit. Spanish missionaries were found to have translated
such proverbs and other oral expressions in Spanish in order for their fellow religious people to
learn our indigenous languages. By doing so, they were able to interact with the early Filipinos
there and eventually introduce the Catholic faith.

Proverbs are brief instructive expressions that suggest a specific action, behavior, or
judgment. Referred to by some scholars as “the wisdom of many and the wit of one”, they are
commonly written in the form of short assertions or poetic two-liners which have rhyme. It is
interesting to note that people are easily struck by proverbs when they are woven in
conversations or writings. This is perhaps because they have the power to teach people the
more essential truths about life and the complexity of living. Compared to lengthy narrations,
descriptions, or argumentations, proverbs are able to effect quickly a change in view or
disposition.

In Filipino, proverbs are called salawikain or sawikain. They prescribe norms, impart a
lesson, or emphasize traditions and beliefs in a community. In the anthology of Damiana L.
Eugenio, she classified proverbs into six categories.

(1) proverbs expressing a general attitude towards life and the laws that govern life

Ang kapalaran ko di ko man hanapin, dudulog lalapit kung talagang akin. (Tagalog)
The good fortune which is intended for me will come even without my seeking it.
Walang ligaya sa lupa na di dinilig ng luha. (Tagalog)
There is no earthly joy that is not watered with tears.

(2) ethical proverbs recommending certain virtues and condemning certain vices

Dai mo pagpaagahan an magigibo mo ngonyan. (Bikol)

Do not put off for tomorrow what you can do for today.

Walang utang na di pinagbayaran. (Tagalog)

No debt remains unpaid.

(3) proverbs expressing a system of values

Ti nasadot a baro cas carne a nadangro. (Ilokano)

A lazy young man is like foul-smelling meat.
Isa ka tuig nga tiponon, isa ka takna wagwagon. (Hiligaynon)
It takes only a moment to squander what took a year to save.

(4) proverbs expressing general truths and observations about life and human
nature

Huli man at magaling, ay naihahabol din. (Tagalog)

A good thing is never too late.
Ing mayap a babai, maiguit ya karing rubi. (Pampango)
A good woman is worth more than rubies.

(5) humorous proverbs

Kay tagal nanindahan, kabili-bili‟y balindang. (Tagalog)

After shopping for a long time, he ended up with a poor purchase.
Ako kanhi cabalyero nga wala‟y kabilinggan; pagdawat sa matrimonio, sa hinanali ng
lawas mingniwang. (Cebuano)
I was formerly a gentleman without care at all, but when I got married, my body
shrank and became small.

(6) miscellaneous proverbs

 Ing matudtud a pemangca e na balu lebasa ng sapa. (Pampango)
The sleeping boatman does not know the streams he has passed.
Mapipia nu sumavat ka a maysaosaod su sagap as canu caviden mu du calawangan
q manalamad su among. (Ivatan)
It is better to go home and weave a net than to stay on the shore and watch the fish.

Our proverbs are not only witty expressions. They are also our cultural treasures. As we
continue to use them in various spoken or written forms and as we explore ways of
representing them in graphic, musical, or dramatic modes, we facilitate their preservation. And
through these, we strengthen our identity as a people.
