Intertextuality of two Visayan Creation Myths

Image
Eighth Entry Intertextuality, by definition, is the shaping of a text's meaning by another text. It is the interconnection between similar or related works of literature that reflect and influence an audience's interpretation of the text. It is common knowledge that there are numerous versions of creation stories that are being told around the country. Two, in particular, are from the Visayas, namely- Si Sikalak ug si Sikabay and the story of Tungkung-langit and Alunsina. As an assignment, each student must create an intertextuality among the two Visayan Folktales aforementioned. The following are the individual outputs of the members: Karla Jean Booc Ramon Hope Celiz Kent Defuntorum Reycil Jumawan Ma. Lourdes Manus Kerr Patalinghug Rinelle Frances Pogoy

Black Empowerment: Thoughts into Words

Fourth Entry The class watched a music video of Beyonce entitled "Formation". The music video became controversial due to its sensitive content. It contains racial discrimination and a glimpse of police harassment mostly to black people. It uncovers an issue almost transparent to everyone's eyes. Formation contains strong political criticism in its lyrics, a song whose lyrics are teeming with notions of empowerment and pride. In the light of this, every group was assigned to construct a wordle that best explains the music video. In no less than thirty minutes and after quite some time of brainstorming, the group was able to come up with this output: Documentation: (Helping hands) List of Dancers/ Members: (present) Patalinghug, Kerr Celiz, Ramon Hope Defuntorum, Kent Jumawan, Reycil Tagsip, Sean Manus, Ma. Lourdes Pogoy, Rinelle Frances

They comprise the largest ethnic group in the country, numbering at around 33 million as of 2010. (Clark, 2017) Visayan folklore is replete with tales and legends about the Creation and about heroism, moral conflict, and the triumph of good over evil.  Among the oft-told tales are legends about the first man and woman. Sikalak and Sikabay (New Horizons II pp. 83-86) gives us a clue how our ancestors lived before there was written history. Our ancestors believed that the first man and woman came from the bamboo. We may further develop this thought by letting our students think of a reason why it should be the bamboo and not a narra tree or a guava tree. Think about it. Isn’t the bamboo the all-purpose thing with which they create almost e...
