  • Ioften Ask My Students at the Beginning of My Writing
    WHERE HAVE ALL OUR MONSTERS GONE?: Using Philippine Lower Mythology in Children’s Literature Carla M. Pacis often ask my students at the beginning of my Writing for Children class who their favorite storybook characters were when Ithey were kids. The answers are usually the same and very predictable – Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan et. al. semester upon semester. One day, however, a student from Mindanao said that her favorite characters were the creatures her mother had told her about. These creatures, she said, lived in the forests and mountains that surrounded their town. The whole class and I perked up. What were these creatures, we all wanted to know? She told us of the wak-wak that came out at night to suck the fetus from pregnant sleeping mothers or the tianak that took the form of a cute little baby but was really an ugly dwarf. Ahh, we all nodded, we had also heard of these and many other creatures. Thus ensued an entire session of remembering and recounting of fascinating creatures long forgotten and all our very own. In his book The Uses of Enchantment, Bruno Bettelheim explains the importance of monsters in fairytales and stories. He says that “the monster the child knows best and is most concerned with is the monster he feels or fears himself to be, and which also sometimes, persecutes him. By keeping this monster within the child unspoken of, hidden in his unconscious, adults prevent the child from spinning fantasies around it in the image of the fairytales he knows.

  • Philippine Folklore: Engkanto Beliefs
    PHILIPPINE FOLKLORE: ENGKANTO BELIEFS HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Philippine mythology is derived from Philippine folk literature, which is the traditional oral literature of the Filipino people. This refers to a wide range of material due to the ethnic mix of the Philippines. Each unique ethnic group has its own stories and myths to tell. While the oral and thus changeable aspect of folk literature is an important defining characteristic, much of this oral tradition had been written into a print format. University of the Philippines professor, Damiana Eugenio, classified Philippines Folk Literature into three major groups: folk narratives, folk speech, and folk songs. Folk narratives can either be in prose: the myth, the alamat (legend), and the kuwentong bayan (folktale), or in verse, as in the case of the folk epic. Folk speech includes the bugtong (riddle) and the salawikain (proverbs). Folk songs that can be sub-classified into those that tell a story (folk ballads) are a relative rarity in Philippine folk literature.1[1] Before the coming of Christianity, the people of these lands had some kind of religion. For no people however primitive is ever devoid of religion. This religion might have been animism. Like any other religion, this one was a complex of religious phenomena. It consisted of myths, legends, rituals and sacrifices, beliefs in the high gods as well as low; noble concepts and practices as well as degenerate ones; worship and adoration as well as magic and control. But these religious phenomena supplied the early peoples of this land what religion has always meant to supply: satisfaction of their existential needs.

  • The Truth of Diwa
    The Truth of Diwa Diwa is both the building block and the string upon which all of reality is spun. It permeates all things, and exists in varying states of matter. In a manner of speaking, that chair you see in front of you is Diwa, in a given form. Break it down to its most essential components and you shall see Diwa. However Diwa can be used more than that. It exists in four states: • Agos, Diwa echoing Water. This is the normal state of Diwa, the Diwa that makes up all things. • Tagos, Diwa echoing Air. This is the Diwa that binds things together. It can be manipulated at this level, and if one were to have some means of seeing the invisible machinations of the gods, they will see tiny strands that link everything to everything, as well as the Diwata that embody everything. Diwa in this state can be known as “Fate”, and indeed, the Agents of Heaven call this Tadhana. • Bala, Diwa echoing Fire. This is the Diwa that burns within every living being, and every thing is a living being because everything has a diwata. The Human Eight-Point Soul is made up of this Burning Diwa, and so are the powerful essences of the Karanduun. Burning Diwa can be used to affect other states -- most commonly by having a lot of Burning Diwa, you have more say in how reality works. Thus why Burning Diwa in all beings is known as “Bala”, or “Power”. It is their measure of capability, and it is well known that the Karanduun possess “Unlocked” Bala, which allows their Bala to transcend event that of Gods.

  • SARE, Vol. 58, Issue 1 | 2021
    SARE, Vol. 58, Issue 1 | 2021 Making Space for Myth: Worldbuilding and Interconnected Narratives in Mythspace Francis Paolo Quina University of the Philippines-Diliman, Quezon City, the Philippines Abstract The comics medium has long proven to be fertile ground for worldbuilding, spawning not only imaginary worlds but multiverses that have become international transmedial franchises. In the Philippines, komiks (as it is called locally) has provided the Filipino popular imagination with worlds populated by superheroes, super spies, supernatural detectives, and creatures from different Philippine mythologies. The komiks series Mythspace, written by Paolo Chikiamco and illustrated by several artist-collaborators, takes the latter concept, and launches it into outer space. Classified by its own writer as a “Filipino space opera” consisting of six loosely interconnected stories, Mythspace presents a storyworld where the creatures of Philippine lower mythologies are based on various alien species that visited the Philippines long ago. The article will examine the use of interconnected narratives as a strategy for worldbuilding in Mythspace. Drawing from both subcreation and comic studies, this article posits that interconnected narratives is a worldbuilding technique particularly well-suited to comics, and that the collaborative nature of the medium allows for a diversity of genres and visual styles that can be used by future komiks creators to develop more expansive storyworlds. Keywords: comics studies, subcreation studies, storyworlds, Mythspace, the Philippines The comics medium has long proven to be fertile ground for worldbuilding. It has spawned not only storyworlds in the pages of comic books and graphic novels but given birth to multiverses of storytelling across several media.

  • Notes on Philippine Divinities
    NOTES ON PHILIPPINE DIVINITIES F. LANDA JocANO Introduction THIS PAPER IS ETHNO-HISTORICAL IN NATURE. IT IS DE- signed to put together representative pantheons of different Philippine divinities. The materials for this purpose have been gathered from historical documents, ethnographiC monographs, and Held observations conducted by the writer and other fieldworkers among different indi- genous religious groups in the various parts of the country. No sociological analysis of these cosmologies or their manifest theo- logies is made except to point out that their persistence through time - from the early Spanish contact to the present - indicates they are closely interwoven with the lifeways of the people. The divinities described here are, as they were in the past, conceived as beings with human characteristics. Some of them are good and others are evil. Many stories about the workings of these supernatural beings are told. They participate in the affairs of men. These relationships reinforce local beliefs in the power of the supernatural beings, as those people who participate in community affairs witness how these deities, invoked during complicated rituals, cure an ailing patient or bring about suc- cess in hunting, fishing, and agriculture. Some of these deities are always near; others are inhabitants of far-off realms of the skyworld who take interest in human affairs only when they are invoked during proper ceremonies which compel them to come down to earth. In this connection, the spirits who are always near, are the ones often called upon by the people for help. These supernatural beings are led by the highest ranking deity and not by any one supreme divinity, for each has specific and some independent function.

  • THE RECOVERY of EGALITARIAN LEADERSHIP by Cynthia Datu Introduction
    FILLIPINAS AND THE CHURCH: THE RECOVERY OF EGALITARIAN LEADERSHIP By Cynthia Datu Introduction The Filipino Church needs to hearken back to its roots. To be Filipino and Christian is to be egalitarian. Unfortunately this is not always the case when it comes to the role of women in church leadership. Filipino leadership needs to rediscover both reasons for the loss of egalitarianism within their churches and challenge a misguided belief that that the traditional indigenous worldview supports the supremacy of the male. To assist such a search/challenge the article begins with two case studies in the Faith Evangelical Church of the Philippines, a denomination taken as representative of the larger Philippine Evangelical Church in spite of its slightly liberal position on female leadership. Tracing the historical causes of female discrimination in the Philippines, the article reveals how Western biases impinged upon the Church and carry over to the present generation. There is a discrepancy between the perceived high status of women in society and their real status as male subordinates, including certain conditions manifested in the Philippine Evangelical Church. The article closes with recommendations for granting women greater participation in church leadership and achieving balance between males and females leadership. A Narrative on Filipinas in the Church: Two Cases in the Faith Evangelical Church of the Philippines (FECP) In 1999 Joy Pabito was a fresh graduate of Faith Bible College (FBC) and about to embark on a year of internship at Faith Fellowship Ministry Center in Quezon City. When asked what degree she had earned, she replied, “Bachelor of Theology.” She was a Pastor? With a small smirk, she answered, “So they say.

  • Toward a Model for Historicising Translation in Hispanic Filipino
    Translation (in/of/as) history: toward a model for historicising translation in Hispanic Filipino literature The International Journal for Translation & Interpreting Research trans-int.org Marlon James Sales University of Michigan, Ann Arbor/ KU Leuven [email protected] DOI: 10.12807/ti.111202.2019.a04 Abstract: The task of researching the history of translation within the framework of a national literature overlaps with the task of interrogating the uses of translation in imagining a nation’s history. Although translation may be represented in this context as a neutral and unproblematic search for equivalence between languages, translational acts have been employed, either wittingly or unwittingly, to privilege a past and inscribe it into the accepted national narrative. Such is the role of translation in the history of Hispanic Filipino literature. In this article I argue that the endeavour of writing a translation history using Hispanic Filipino texts is called upon to examine translation in history, of history and as history, that is, how translation operates as a material, method and mode of commemoration. Translation is considered here as a fundamental component in the production and mediation of a text. It fulfils a gatekeeping function through which historical information is repatriated into the national consciousness. Keywords: history of translation, Spanish Philippines, literatura hispanofilipina, Jose Rizal, Pedro Paterno, Isabelo de los Reyes 1. Introduction The Philippines is an underrepresented area in the study of Hispanism. While there is an awareness about the interconnections between this Southeast Asian archipelago and those regions we readily identify as Hispanic, attempts to investigate Filipino Hispanism are sparse and are often tinged with colonial nostalgia.

  • Race and Ethnicity in the Era of the Philippine-American War, 1898-1914
    Allegiance and Identity: Race and Ethnicity in the Era of the Philippine-American War, 1898-1914 by M. Carmella Cadusale Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the History Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY August, 2016 Allegiance and Identity: Race and Ethnicity in the Era of the Philippine-American War, 1898-1914 M. Carmella Cadusale I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: M. Carmella Cadusale, Student Date Approvals: Dr. L. Diane Barnes, Thesis Advisor Date Dr. David Simonelli, Committee Member Date Dr. Helene Sinnreich, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT Filipino culture was founded through the amalgamation of many ethnic and cultural influences, such as centuries of Spanish colonization and the immigration of surrounding Asiatic groups as well as the long nineteenth century’s Race of Nations. However, the events of 1898 to 1914 brought a sense of national unity throughout the seven thousand islands that made the Philippine archipelago. The Philippine-American War followed by United States occupation, with the massive domestic support on the ideals of Manifest Destiny, introduced the notion of distinct racial ethnicities and cemented the birth of one national Philippine identity. The exploration on the Philippine American War and United States occupation resulted in distinguishing the three different analyses of identity each influenced by events from 1898 to 1914: 1) The identity of Filipinos through the eyes of U.S., an orientalist study of the “us” versus “them” heavily influenced by U.S.
