excerpt:
~ Being an Incomplete Compendium of Magical Myths, Legends and Old Tales from the Philippines ~
Note: This is a list I’ve generated as a companion to–and aid for–the Alternative Alamat anthology (which closes for submissions on 30 August 2010). It does not claim to be a comprehensive list, nor is it aimed at distinguishing between folk tales, legends, fables, myths, epics, romances or what not–I’m going to collectively refer to these as Myths and Legends, for the sake of simplicity.
