Angalo's Footprints, Evidence of Giants Presence on Earth Angalo’s Footprints, Evidence of Giants Presence on Earth Posted on February 23, 2012 by RS Elders in Ilocos Region believe giants are real and a proof is located in San Quintin, Abra. This is the footprint of a giant hunter named Angalo considered as hero to the locals. According to an Ilocano myth, Angalo was in endless search for his wife Aran. He scoured the Ilocos Region for his love, kneeled down to imbibe water from the springs and left giant footprints – a massive right footprint is visibly located in San Quintin, Abra. Another footprint (could be Angalo’s left foot) is believed to be the largest of the natural pools at the top of the Pinsal falls located in Santa Maria, Ilocos Sur. Angalo and his wife Aran are believed to be the first man and woman on Earth based on Ilocano myth, equivalent to the story of Adam and Eve in Eden. Ilocano myth says they were giants who roamed in the region looking for each other and it was Angalo who left behind the massive footprints. “Angalo, ang Asawa ni Aran” has been told for generations upon generations in Abra and across the Ilocos Region. In modern times, multilingual and multi-awarded Ilocano writer Reynaldo Duque, former editor-in-chief of Liwayway Magazine, wrote about the legend as a short story for children titled “Si Angalo at si Aran” which won a Palanca award. There is even an Ilocano poem about the legend written by Godofredo Reyes titled “Da Angalo ken Aran” which was first published in Tawdi Magasin. To Ilocanos and other people who can understand the Ilocos dialect you can read below Godofredo Reyes’ poem about Angalo and Aran Legend (the original Ilocano poem). In brief, the poem says Angalo travelled in the South East Asian region from Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and here in the Philippines he spotted Aran in Bataan on board a huge boat as big as a mountain but capsized in the seas of Narvacan and found themselves in happy moments in mountainous area of Santa Maria, Ilocos Sur and San Quintin, Abra, all the way down to the area of Pangasinan where the hundred islets were formed during their existence. Da Angalo Ken Aran by: Godofredo Reyes Adda sarsarita idi ugma Nga agalla-allatiw ti dila Sarsarita a makapakatawa Mangparagsak iti rikna. Nadamagyon ni Angalo?

One of the rich sources of literatures is that of the Ilokano Published: November 30, 2019 people in the Ilocos region of Luzon. However, dearth of critical studies on Volume: 2 Ilokano literature is evident. As such, this study analyzed the selected Issue: 6 DOI: 10.32996/ijllt.2019.2.6.44 contemporary Ilokano poems of Reynaldo A. Duque using the frameworks of KEYWORDS Formalism namely literariness and organic whole. Through content analysis and close reading, the study discovered that Reynaldo A. Duque employed archetypal technique, eight literary devices in his poems: persona, tone, mood, rhyme, rhythm, formalism, Ilokano literature, figures of speech, symbolism, imagery, theme and syntax; the meaning of the literary criticism poem progresses as the eight devices are being decoded; each device gives a clue to the meaning of the poems. Nevertheless, Ilokano literature and text still reveal universal truth specifically on universality of human character or emotions and of the society’s culture; it possesses literary elements. 1.

When the Spanish first encountered them in 1572, they were living in large villages and trading with the Chinese and Japanese. The Ilocano often revolted against the Spaniards through the 1600s and 1700s. In the mid 1800s, high population density forced many Ilocanos to emigrate away from their historic homeland and into surrounding areas on Luzon. In the early 1900s some even migrated to Hawaii and California. Many Ilocano were active in the Nationalist movement, and attained positions in the central government.

  • Review of Reviews
    REVIEW OF REVIEWS Nippon minzokugaku，Vol.3，No. 4，1936 Takeda Akira: On a Special Type of Retirement, the Father Living with the Eldest Son and the Mother with the Second Son. The question arises whether this kind of retirement has its roots in the economic or in the religious life of the family. Retirement may take on different forms ; namely, some old people, though they give up the reins of the household, still live together with their family, others live in a separate house, and some live in retire­ ment, still using the common fire-place, while others do not. Some old couples live in retirement but on the commonly owned family fortunes, while others live on their private means. The case under examination here provides a separate dwel­ ling for each party of the retired couple. The first point to be explained is the separate dwellings ot the retired father and mother and the use of separate funeral tablets for each of them. The ancestry of a branch-family is counted in the mother’s line，according to tradition. Branch- families were originally closely connected with the main family, economically, socially and religiously, and formed one large family in the framework of village life, though they enjoyed a limited independence. The gods worshipped by the main family were also worshipped by the whole sib, and all sib members gathered in the house of the main family on 3on (All Souls’ Day), Higan (equinocts) and New Year for the worship of the common ancestors. Such practices exist every­ where in the country.
