31. Activity 1 – Story-telling
Myths in the Philippines:
The Origin of Rice
Rice is the staple food of Filipinos,
and because of this this, they have many
stories about rice plants or palay. Their
ancestors used their stories to explain how
palay was discovered as a crop and rice as a
food.
Anonuevo, V. , Gamos, A. (1992) Philippines: Aklat
Adarna, Children's Communications Workshop
32. In the beginning, people
depended on their surroundings
for food. They hunted, fished,
and dug for root crops. Because
they gathered food this way, they
did not have permanent homes
nor sources of livelihood. Then,
when they learned how to plant
palay, their lives improved.

how humans learned to plant
rice. Open the hyperlink to read

34. Activity 3 – Meeting the
Mythological Creatures
1. The Aswang –
Vampires of the Philippines
The most
prolific monsters
in Filipino folklore.
In fact, the term “aswang” itself
refers to various types of creatures that
belong to this group. According to Spanish
colonizers in the 16th century, the Aswang
are the most feared monsters amongst the
mythological creatures of the Philippines.
35. 2. Sirena – This refers to the female mermaid,
and an engkanto, meaning a “spirit/elf,”
usually found within nature.
Like its namesake
(most definitely
stemming from
the Greek
mythology),
the Sirena is a
half-human,
half-fish creature
that possesses a beautiful voice attracting men
into a watery grave.
3. Siyokoy – The Siyokoy are the male
equivalents of merfolk, and are described to
be more animalistic than the Sirena. In fact,
the Siyokoy is even described to be a
monstrous creature with long, green
tentacles and fish-like bodies.
36. 4. Duwende –The Philippines equivalent
of hobgoblins and dwarves. These are
creatures (or little gnome-spirits) that
play a certain amount of mischief on
humans, though from time to time they
are also considered house-guardians.
The Duwende also
play a great many
part in superstitions
throughout the
Philippines.
5. Tiyanak – This is not so much a dwarf
or a goblin. In fact, a Tiyanak is similar
to that of a changeling, or a demon spirit
in the form of a child. Usually, Aswang
use them as substitutes for the children
they snatched away as victims.
37. 6. Tikbalang – Is what you would call a
reverse centaur. The creature’s body is male,
and its head and feet are that of a horse. These
creatures are set to scare travelers astray,
usually getting them lost and traveling in
circles.
Tikbalang Sarimanok
7. Sarimanok. This legendary bird is sort
of like a chicken (“manok” translates to
“chicken”), and is said to have originated
from Islamic legend. According to the
Maranao people, who originated this
myth—from a totem bird called Itotoro, the
bird woke every living creature except man.
It is said that the world would end if the
crow of this particular bird ceases.
38. Activity 4 – The Aswang and the
Pinoy Culture
It scares children into coming home before
dark, and gives even the toughest-looking
grown-up the shivers. It can be blamed for
anything and everything that seems wrong –
from strange neighbors to mysterious murders.
It’s the personification of all things evil.
There are varying opinions on what it looks
like, or even what it is, exactly. But millions
believe it exists. Almost everyone in the country
has an aswang story to tell.
The aswang can turn into a big dog or pig.
It can sever its upper body and fly away, leaving
its lower half on the ground. It has an extremely
long tongue, all the better to suck a baby from
the mother’s womb.
In the Philippines, the existence of this
supernatural creature is often taken for granted.
Little kids are warned by their parents to stay
inside, or else the aswang will get them (by
Carmela G. Lapeña, GMA News – The Aswang
Phenomenon)
39. The aswang is often depicted in
horror movies and stories as a fearsome
creature, but it’s not often that people get
to go beyond the spooky tales and
exchange views on how it figures in the
lives of Filipinos.
“There is this enormous evolution
that the aswang has been taken through –
it’s use in pre-colonial indigenous and
animist beliefs, social control by the
church, de-sexualizing women, attempting
to end matriarchal societies, unchecked
papers through the turn of the 20th
century, and finally through amazing
artistic interpretations. It is truly
astounding,” said Jordan Clark (Canadian
filmmaker, 1994).
40. Activity 5 – Making your own
Documentary
1. Investigate the monsters in your
community.
2. Create a starting point for those who
wish to discover their fears and
suspicions.
3. Make a 5 minute documentary and
discover an incredibly rich and
fascinating culture.
46. Activity 1 – Introducing Top
Filipino Meriendas
1. Champorado (Rice Porridge in Chocolate) and
Tuyo (dried and salted fish) – Do you feel cold on a
rainy day? A steaming bowl of this snack could help
keep you warm and comfortable. What makes this
food amazing is the fact that even locals of the
Philippines find this snack strange as the mixture of
the sweetness of chocolate and saltiness of the dried
fish leave a tingling sensation into your taste buds
which you won’t forget for a life time.
In addition,
this authentic
Filipino food
is not just
perfect for
snack but also
for breakfast
as the rice
porridge and
sugar is fine
enough to
jump start
your day.)
47. 2. Banana-cue is a favorite
merienda (snack) almost
everywhere. Semi-ripe
plantain (saba) are deep
-fried in hot oil and
coated with caramelized
sugar served on bamboo
skewers. It is sold in school
canteens, by street vendors, and stalls that
serve snacks and meals.
3. Turon is made of halves of ripe plantains
sprinkled with brown sugar and wrapped in fresh
lumpia wrappers then deep-friend. When
jackfruit (langka) is
available, some
sellers include a strip
or two of
langka for
added flavor. Some
cook it with
caramelized brown
sugar.
48. 6. Pansit. Rice noodles sautéed with julienne
vegetables and chicken or pork slices, with chicken
and pork livers and gizzard. It is a staple in almost
all carinderias and food stalls and come in different
styles of cooking
– pansit bihon (rice noodles),
pansit canton (fried noodles),
pansit luglug, hab-hab
(Quezon), bam-i (Cebu),
palabok or pansit Malabon.
Calamansi or mashed kamias
are added to servings of pansit.
7. Batac Empanada (Local Taco with Veggies
and Local Sausage) – If you have some time to
visit the Northern Part of the country, try passing
by Batac City, Ilocos Norte. There you would find
this enticing food made from sautéed beans, grated
unripe papaya, egg and “longanisa” (local
sausage) wrapped in a deep-fried rice flour. A
piece of this distinctive local taco which is usually
orange or white in color can already make you
burp and feel satisfied as it is a good source of
protein, carbohydrates and vegetable.
49. 8. Halo – Halo (Milk Shake with Assorted
Ingredients) – People with sweet tooth won’t
resist this inviting snack especially on a very
humid day. Made from various ingredients like
boiled bananas, sweet beans, sweet gelatin, ube
halaya (purple sweet yam jam), sweet corn, milk
and many more, this food is topped with a lot of
grated ice and sometimes ice cream. Halo-Halo
has been an iconic summer food because this
represents Filipinos’ sweetness towards other
people.
9. Manggat- Suman (Ripe Mango with Rice
Cake) – Old folks love to have this as a part of
their dessert. The creamy taste of “suman“ (rice
cake cooked in coconut milk) and the sweet
and sour impression of ripe mango taste almost
like, if not better than, the Japanese Maki. As a
trivia, this food used to be Dr. Jose Rizal’s
Favorite snack (Philippines’ national hero). An
ample serving can provide carbohydrates and
vitamins from mangoes.
50. 12. Puto Bumbong is a type of puto or rice cake
named after the bamboo tube in which it is
steamed. It is unusual among puto, being sticky
and having a long thin shape and purple color.
The elongated shape results from the method of
cooking while its color comes from the violet
pirurutong rice it is made of. It is served with
grated coconut and brown sugar. Along with
bibingka, it is often served outside churches
around Christmastime.
Puto Bumbong Biko
13. Biko is a rice cake with caramel topping
or latik and here is the recipe for Biko. Biko
is usually served during birthday parties,
fiestas, Christmas, New Year and other
celebrated events in Philippines.
51. 14. Palitaw (from litaw, the Tagalog word
for "float" or "rise") is a small, flat, sweet
rice cake eaten in the Philippines. They are
made from malagkit (sticky rice) washed,
soaked, and then ground.
Palitaw Bibingka
15. Bibingka is a type of rice cake from the

62. Activity 1 (c)– Understanding
Ifugao’s Uyaoy / Uyauy
The Ifugao people are said to be the
"children of the earth." The term Ifugao is
derived from the word ipugao which literally
means "coming from the earth." The Spaniards,
however, changed it to Ifugaw, a term presently
used in referring not only to these people but
also to their province. This Ifugao wedding
festival dance is accompanied by gongs and is
performed by the affluent to attain the second
level of the wealthy class. Wealthy people
(Kadangyan) who have performed this dance are
entitled to the use of gongs at their death .

63. Activity 1(d)-Knowing Luzon’ s
Maglalatik
The Maglalatik is an indigenous dance from the
Philippines in which coconut shell halves that are
secured onto the dancers' hands and on vests upon
which are hung four or six more coconut shell halves.
The dancers - all male - perform the dance by hitting
one coconut shell with the other - sometimes the ones
on the hands, sometimes, the ones on the body, and
sometimes the shells worn by another performer, all in
time to a fast drumbeat.
Originally performed in Binan, Laguna as a
mock-war dance that demonstrates a fight between the
Moros and the Christians over the prized latik or
coconut meat during the Spanish rule, this dance is
also shown to pay tribute to the town’s patron saint,
San Isidro Labrador.

64. Activity 2 (a)– Understanding
Visaya’s Sinulog
The Sinulog was already danced by the locals in
honor of their wooden statues in the period before
the Cebuanos were baptized. Later on, after the
image of the famous Santo Niño was brought to
Cebu and the Catholic faith was established in
the region, the dance was made a part of the
yearly fiesta in honor of the Santo Niño.
While dancing, people are shouting petitions and
thanksgivings to the Santo Niño. Shouting is
necessary because the pilgrims have to be sure
that they will be heard by the Santo Niño.
“Pit Señor! Señor Santo Niño, Manoy Kiloy...."
The Sinulog became indeed a dance ritual in
honor of Santo Niño!
65.
66. The famous Sinulog festival in Cebu City is
held every year on the third Sunday of January.
The festival is characterized by a very long
parade with many groups of persons dressed in
colourful costumes, finding their way through
the streets while dancing the Sinulog. To
distinguish the festival from the popular Ati-
Atihan Festival on Panay island,
this festival is characterized by a different
dance. This Sinulog dance, is now the
traditional and ritual dance in honor of Santo
Niño. The dance is accompanied by the sound
of the drums: all the time moving two steps
forward followed by one step backward.
Though the dance is already very old, the
parade is rather young! 1980 was the first year
that the parade was organized.

by rice farmers. Dancers imitate the tikling bird's
legendary grace and speed by skillfully
