The various regions of the Philippines are rich sources of Philippine folklore, which includes myths, legends, epics, tales, folk sayings, and other folklore material. Originally told and retold by our forefathers of long ago, these various forms of folklore have been handed down to the present through the lips of story tellers or informants and have become an essential part of our cultural heritage. There are fifty myths and legends included in this volume, and they are grouped into four sections: Part I, myths and legends of places; Part II, myths and legends of plants; Part III, myths and legends of people; and Part IV, myths and legends of animals. Each tale is followed by a set of exercises which provide not only for the acquisition, on the part of students, of such important skills as learning new words, getting the main ideas, comprehending what is read, remembering important details, and making an outline, etc., but also for the clarification and development of values.

Excerpt from Filipino Popular Tales: Collected and Edited, With Comparative Notes A word might be added as to the nature of the tales. I have included only hero tales, serious and droll, beast stories and fables, and pourquoi or just-so stories. Myths, legends, and fairy-tales (including all kinds of spirit and demon stories) I have purposely excluded, in order to keep the size of the volume within reasonable limits. I have, however, occasionally drawn upon my manuscript collection of these types to illustrate a native superstition or custom.
