Book Of The Week No.36 Alternative Alamat: Myths and Legends From the Philippines Edited by Paolo Chikiamco Actual Rate: 8.5/10 Favorite Line: "To exist, one must be born into pain." Actual Review: Alternative Alamat is a folk fiction originally published in 2014 and republished 2022 by Tuttle Pub, internationally. The book is comprised with compendium of 12 Filipino myths and lores that are retold for modern readers, all edited by Paolo Chikiamco. I really appreciate the variety of stories that are in this compilation because it really represents the roots of us, Filipinos and how are culture expounds about love, life, death, heroism, divinity and impermanence. Thanks to #PaengPH2022, I was able to have my mind collected and settled for reading. I was reading this on my room with heavy rain and winds on the outside. I believe that's the best way you could ever feel and read folklores. Some of the stories have weak points, that is in my personal opinion, best believe that this book is created to initiate the mainstreaming of Filipino culture/stories. My favorites are "The Last Full Show", "The Alipin's Tale" & "Keeper of my Sky". 1.) I was mystified by Alexandra Trese's passion(?) for decrypting Filipino folklorian mysteries. I am now planning to watch Trese on Netflix. 2.) I love how the imagination of the writers really used the key occurences in our history to tweak it into some spin-off conspiracy. Like whi would have thought that Lapu-lapu, Bernardo Carpio and Maria Makiling would meet. 3.) I love how this is written in a very sci-fi/fantasy way. The prose narrative really took me somewhere and a sad tale is what I have got. :(((( The thing about this book is that each of these 12 stories somewhat stood on their own. I never really wanted to stop reading it even though you can read a story and just get back when you wanted because I cannot stop to be mystified by the creativity of these Filipino...

based off this horrid meme i made

Zeus had to tell them to cover their faces and suggested they began to walk forward dropping stones behind them but not looking behind them. Men sprang up from the stones which Deucalion dropped, and women from those left by Pyrrha. The couple also had children who were regarded as the offspring of Zeus. Hellen, was their first-born and regarded as the founder of the Hellenes (Greeks).

Does anybody speak fluent Spanish? I have a document on precolonial beliefs and a list of Sambal and Tagalog deities that isn't found in the sources that William Henry Scott has mentioned. Many of these deities are ones I have never heard of until I recently read Ancient Beliefs and Customs of the Tagalogs by Jean-Paul G. POTET.

For example:

Alagaka: protector of hunters Balakbak and Balantay: the 2 guardians of Tanguban, the name of the abode of the spirit of the dead Matanda: god of merchants Dalagang nasa Buwan: the goddess of the moon Ginuong Dalaga: goddess of the crops Kapiso Pabalita: protector of travelers Makapulaw: god of sailors

and there are several more in Jean-Pauls book.

Me being me, I wanted to find out where this author got this list of deities. After digging around on the internet, I found the Spanish document Jean-Paul mentioned in his bibliography by Felipe Pardo, an archbishop in Manila in the late 1600s. In one of his letters, "Carta de Felipe Pardo sobre idolatrías" it discusses the various beliefs and deities of the Tagalog in Laguna as well as the Sambal in Zambales. The document is currently held in the Archivo General de Indias building in Seville, Spain (which also houses many other documents and maps on the Philippines as well as in the Americas).

Luckily for us, many of these documents are available to the public and they have digitized many of them such as this document. There are quite a lot on the Philippines which I would love to go through. It makes me eager to learn Spanish even more so I can read these documents.

But for now if anyone speaks fluent Spanish and wants to help translate this document let me know. Or if you know anyone who can help that would be great too!

The digitized copy of this document is found in the link provided.
