Philipino Folk Stories, an excerpt The stories in Collected and Annotated Tales seventeen through twenty-three are considered fables and are typically recounted to youngsters or to pass the time during the middle of the day when people are looking for shade to recline in or stopping on the trail to rest. The majority of them are well-known to the Christianized tribes throughout the Islands and exhibit striking similarities to the myths from the southern islands and, occasionally, from Europe.
Filipino Popular Tales: Collected and Edited, With Comparative Remarks, excerpt About the nature of the stories, a word might be included. Only heroic tales, serious and lighthearted tales about beasts, fables about them, and pourquoi- or just-so tales have been included. I purposefully avoided include myths, legends, and fairy tales (including all varieties of ghost and demon stories) in order to keep the volume's size within realistic bounds. But, I have occasionally used my collection of manuscripts of these kinds to demonstrate a local superstition or custom.
