Book Description
Philippine Folk Literature: The Epics presents 23 folk epics collected from some 14 ethnolinguistic groups in the country. This is the eighth volume being added to the original 7-volume Philippine Folk Literature Series. Folk epics are long heroic narratives in verse which recount the adventures of tribal heroes and in the process express the customs, beliefs, and ideals of the people who sing them. The introductory essay, The Philippine Folk Epic, gives a detailed discussion of the features and characteristics of Philippine folk epics--their geographic distribution; epic singing and singers; the epic hero, his adventures and his outstanding qualities; epic conventions; dominant motifs; and the customs, beliefs, and values expressed in them. The epics are arranged in geographic order from north to south, starting with Lam-ang (Northern. Luzon), then to Labaw Donggon (Visayas), and on to Mindanao, w the greatest number of our folk epics come from (Tuwaang, Agyu, Bantugan, etc.). A distinctive feature of Philippine epic literature is that while other countries have one national epic hero, e.g., England's Beowulf, Spain's El Cid, etc., the Philippines has no national epic hero but more than a dozen tribal epic heroes. This volume thus gives the reader an opportunity to get acquainted with these folk epic heroes and the values and ideals they stand for. As in the other volumes in the Philippine Folk Literature Series, the selections are given in English translation, but a sampling of the text in the original language is given at the beginning of each selection.

Book Description
The following epic is strange as it is stunning. I could not imagine how my people got hold of such a work of genius. It is the World's longest epic now that it has been translated into the English language.The writer was the first among men to have imagined TIME TRAVEL. Diving into the lake, the hero of one of the episodes found himself in another place and time. He was completely amnesic of who he was. He wandered in the place, built a family and shirred two sons. When he remembered who he was, he suddenly found himself gasping for air. He was drowning and when he surfaced, he found his wife exactly where he left her bathing. He was obviously time transported back in time because in the later part of the epic story, he met his two grown-up sons meaning at some stretch of time, there was two of him coexisting - the genre of Hollywood movies.
