Philippine Culture
Our forefathers already had their own literature which
was reflected in their customs and traditions. They had
their own alphabet even before they were colonized.
Their alphabet was burned by the Spanish friars in the
belief that they were works of the devil or were written
on materials that easily perished, like the barks of trees,
dried leaves and bamboo cylinders which could not have
remained undestroyed even if efforts were made to
preserve them.

THE MOON AND THE SUN
(Tingguian folk tale)
In the olden days, like the moon, the sun had also star children
which were yellowish in color, very
bright and very hot.
He star children of the moon,
however, were reddish and cool. That moon was scared hat his stars would wither and die if they play with
the star children of the sun.
The moon suggested to the sun that they kill their children who were crowding the heavens with their
number.
When the sun had killed her
children, the moon merely hid behind the clouds.
In the evening, when the clouds faded, the moon stars appeared.
This angered the sun so he gave chase to the moon. Thus when he
overtakes the moon, we have the so-called eclipse.
Every morning, the kills the moon stars that he catches.
Until now, this chase continues
and because the moon still continues.

poetry and secular prose and poetry.
• The 300 years with Spaniards marked the longest colonial period in the Philippine
history. Due to the need to see new hope in the midst of multitude, the Filipino
spirit reawakened when the 3 priests Gomez, Burgos and Zamora were guillotined
without sufficient evidence of guilt.

Ma. Panganiban, and Pedro Paterno.
