CALABARZON STORIES
We chose the CALABARZON region, solely because we were more familiar with the place and that most of the famous Filipino folklore come from this region.
The folklores in this region are usually about Nature, how such land forms or water forms had come to be and even where certain animals originated. It is interesting because of the way the story is told, ranging from the Gods interfering to magic usage, it just keeps you on your feet wondering why would it be the origin of such topic.
Preserving folklore is not only to make an archive within everyone’s reach when needed but it also helps keep the Filipino culture alive. Everytime we retell these stories, we relive a time way back when our ancestors would explain the unexplainable in the form of myths, legends and folktales. It gives us a glimpse on how they would incoporate their culture and beliefs in storytelling.
