Philippine Myths & Legends (Values-Oriented)
The various regions of the Philippines are rich sources of Philippine folklore, which includes myths, legends, epics, tales, folk sayings, and other folklore material.

(Your book could become stale.)While I availed of almost any excuse not to finish the manuscript of this volume, I felt the tangible voices of a muted people back home in the Philippines beckoning to me from across the vast Pacific Ocean. In whichever way I turned, I was confronted b...
