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:
