Ancient Beliefs and Customs of the Tagalogs


Book Description

This book is a provisional essay, followed by a vocabulary and an index, on the Tagalogs' world view in the Sixteenth Century. It is mainly based on the entries of the earliest dictionaries of the Tagalog language. These were written by Spanish lexicographers about half-a-century after the conquest of the Philippines (Cebu 1565, Manila 1571). Additional data are drawn from Spanish chronicles. Many of the recorded beliefs and customs were already obsolete at the turn of the Seventeenth Century. Some are extremely surprising, starting from the primeval myth according to which the world had no solid land at its beginning, but only two fluids, water and air.

Knowing love, lahat ng paraan pwede. Love moves in mysterious ways, sabi pa nga ng isang kanta. Ano’ng mangyayari kung ang dating hinahangaan ay siya na ngayong humahanga? Ang dating malikot na puso ay sintahimik na yata ng pasyenteng nacomatose at wala nang pakiramdam. Ang pangarap na hindi inaakalang matutupad ay siya na ngayong dahilan para mabuwag ang isang pagmamahalang hindi man tanggap ng karamihan, pilit na umusbong at handa nang ipaglaban.

Ng isang pangyayaring nagpapatunay na ang buong buhay at pagkatao pala ay isang malaking kasinungalingan? Makakamtan pa kaya ang pinapangarap na tunay at wagas na pag-ibig?
