Chapter 1
Einführung
Our beloved country is a former colony of not one, but three imperial powers, therefore it is no
surprise that most of our history was penned down in a foreign language. This means that the
earlier part of our culture had been written from an outsider’s perspective. Whatever pre-colonial
records our ancestors had written on easily perishable materials (i.e. tree bark, bamboo segments)
were destroyed by the Spanish friars who sought to eradicate all traces of paganism in our pre-
colonized societies to easily introduce Catholicism into our culture (Lopez, “A Brief Cultural
History of the Philippines” xxii). Because of this, we have little to no insight on what pre-
colonial Philippine society was. In most pre-colonial societies, the literature is almost always
transferred orally. In our case, some of the origin myths, hero tales, fables, and legends were
preserved through the untouched indigenous peoples culture and were only relatively recently
recorded. Aside from a surviving oral tradition, the only references we can depend on for pre-
colonial Philippines are from the writings of friars who, at the time, immersed themselves in the
natives’ lives.
Prior to the 1800s, all the printing presses were owned and run by the Spanish. However,
Gaspar Aquino de Belen, a layman employed by the Jesuit printing press, was the first Filipino
Literary artist. He published a long poem written in the vernacular Tagalog entitled Ang Passion
1
ni Jesuchristong Panginoon Natin in 1704 which he added to a translated Spanish devotional.
This eventually became known to later Filipinos as the pasyon (Lumbera, “Towards a Revised
History of Philippine Literature” 8-9). After Aquino de Belen, Jose de la Cruz pioneered the
komedya, which was based off the awits and koridos. He was the benchmark for native drama.
Prior to him, the komedya depended only on Spanish ballads. De la Cruz’s contribution was
providing a distinct indigenous drama for Filipinos (10). Unfortunately, de la Cruz’s numerous
works never left the survived past the 18th century. Only during 19th century did the Spanish
finally take the initiative to produce documents that contained local Filipino folklore. In the first
half of the 1800s emerged Francisco Baltazar, also known as Balagtas. He produced numerous
but only three survived: La India Elegante y el Negrito Amante, a farce; Orosman at Zafira, a
full-length commedia; and his most famous work, Pinagdaanang Buhay ni Florante at ni Laura
sa Cahariang Albania, an awit (11). Balagtas’ masterful work stands the test of time and can still
hold itself against analysis even in modern times and thus set the bar for Tagalog poets (12-13).
Eventually in the 1800s, a Filipino journalist from the Ilocos area gained the attention of
the people. Isabelo de los Reyes declared himself a Filipinologist which made the Spaniards turn
their noses up and irked his fellow Filipinos who, at the time, were too busy associating
themselves to the peninsulares who they were trying to emulate (Lopez, “Philippine
Folkloristics: A Survey” 4). At the urging of his mentor, Felipe del Pan, Isabelo started a
compilation of folklore in El Folklore Filipino from the Ilokanos, the Malabones, the
Zambaleños, and other people near the area. This sparked the “Philippine Folklore Battle of
1884-1885” between de los Reyes and the publication, El Eco de Vigan (The Echo of Vigan)
which caught the attention and praise from Spanish folklorists abroad (5). Unfortunately, Isabelo
lost but his efforts gained recognition from fellow folklorists of renown, earning him the title
2
“Father of Philippine Folklore,” dubbed by Pedro Paterno (6). In the late part of the 19 th century,
Paterno published Sampaguitas, the first collection of Filipino poetry, and Ninay, the first
Filipino novel in the Spanish era (Lumbera, “Towards a Revised History of Philippine
Literature” 14).
In 1886, Jose Rizal involved himself with the folklore and published his first contribution
to folk literature in Trubner’s Oriental Record, that contained the first Philippine comic “Ang
momentary involvement with folklore is, to this day, greatly treasured by folklorists. The La
Solidaridad, aside from being a propagandist periodical, was also a place for other Europe-
educated Filipinos to publish their work on their local folklore and culture (Lopez, “Philippine
Folkloristics: A Survey” 7). In the years that led up to the Philippine independence from Spain,
Filipinos were Hispanicized while also Filipinizing Spanish culture (Lopez, “A Brief Cultural
History of the Philippines” xxvi). This was the seed that would eventually grow into Filipino
Nationalism. Jose Rizal contributed not only to the revolution but to the literature as well. His
alleged final poem, Mi Ultimo Adios, which was speculated to have been written on the eve of
his execution, established patriotic verse that would be utilized by the Katipunan in igniting the
love of country and nationalism of Filipinos which fuelled the Spanish Revolution (Lumbera,
“Towards a Revised History of Philippine Literature” 15). The Katipunan would establish the
vernacular Tagalog as its official language, which became associated with revolutionary
After the declaration of independence in 1898, Spain handed us over to America at the
price of $20,000,000 through the Treaty of Paris. With the country under new management,
America established the United States Ethnological Survey of 1902 which was responsible for
3
the collecting of cultural and indigenous data in the islands. Because of this, a number of
ethnologists flocked to the Philippines. These Americans exclusively studied only those non-

K. Santos’ work, Ang Pangginggera, a novel in verse published in 1912. This will become his
Literature” 29).
The Americans established the public school system, with the University of the
Philippines as its pioneer institution, and made English the medium of instruction (Lopez, “A
Brief Cultural History of the Philippines” xxix). Educational materials covered foreign folktales
and cultures. However, in 1920, Camilo Osias published The Philippine Readers which
comprised of seven volumes. This was the first reader series that had folklore written by a fellow
Filipino (Eugenio, “Folklore in Philippine Schools” 176). Folktales, legends, songs, and other
related literatures were recorded in English to comply with the education system. These were
used not only in elementary literature classes but also in physical education, music, and industrial
work. In the secondary level, there was a noticeable reduction of folklore texts for the students
(177). However, folkloristics flourished in the tertiary level. Dean S. Fansler, editor of the
Filipino Popular Tales that contained 64 folktales and 18 legends, established two folklore
courses in the University of the Philippines (179). In addition to this, the Governor General at the
time, William Cameron Forbes, released the Executive Order No. 2 which instructed municipal
and provincial officials to collect documents and material relation to their local histories (179-
180). This further enriched the local interest in folklore studies among academics. Among these
academics, Henry Otley Beyer is recognized as the most prolific researcher on Philippine
4
Anthropology, having published 20 volumes of “Philippine Folklore, Customs and Beliefs,”
which is, in itself, merely a small part of his bigger ethnographic research “The Philippine
Introduction” 159).
In the 1930s, the president of the University of the Philippines, Jorge Bocobo, deigned to
found a committee that will collect non-literature folk material from all over the Philippines. It
was in this decade when Philippine nationalism was aimed towards the violence of the Spanish.
Folklore materials began to be written in the different regional languages of the country (Lopez,
“Philippine Folkloristics: A Survey” 15-16). Along with this, President Manuel L. Quezon
decided to reiterate the Executive Order No. 2 from 1911 under then United States Governor
General William Cameron Forbes that orders the local officials of provinces and municipalities
During this time, Jose Garcia Villa started to solidify the stature of Philippine literature,
specifically poetry, in English, having studied overseas in the England and the United States. His
politics, or lack thereof, paved the way for the art for art’s sake movement in the country, a
movement that deeply went against the Rizal tradition of writing for a cause (Lumbera, “Towards
In the midst of the Pacific War, the Japanese Authorities during the Japanese Occupation
in Manila encouraged the use of Tagalog as a National Language and strived to quieten the use of
English. In this period, the production of literature in English stopped and made the use of
Tagalog flourish in short stories and poetry (29). In the three years that the Japanese occupied the
Philippines, it introduced the country to Japanese loan words, folk games, folk meals, and folk
5
After the war, in the early 1950s, folklore studies have attracted a growing population of
graduates produced by the American education system. This began the widespread recording of
Introduction” 159). This was further propelled by the Executive Order No. 486 issued by
President Elpidio Quirino that instructed the gathering of histories of every unit of society
starting from the barrio up until the provincial level and of folktale collections. This led to the
Survey” 17).
Post-war ties between America and the Philippines grew stronger and led to the
introduction of New Criticism into the local literary landscape by the Tiempos. New Criticism
validated Villa’s aestheticism and led to the total straying from the writing tradition of Rizal, the
Propaganda Movement, and the Revolutionaries of 1896. However, New Criticism allowed
writers to focus on their craftsmanship and attention to detail (Lumbera, “Towards a Revised
In the 60s, the native intelligentia, after being deeply immersed in the American brand of
criticism in the advent of the post-war era, sunk to the masses and were made aware of the social
injustices and grew more and more discontent with the current situation of corruption in the
country. Universities slowly became aware of students’ rights which allowed them to question
the institutions they were in (Lumbera, “Breaking Through and Away” 58).
Alongside the rise of this criticism bloomed three different strains of new poetry: Villa,
championing the aesthetic movement and autonomy of art from outside forces, Amado V.
Hernandez, who embodied the Rizal tradition of writing social commentaries that will educate
them, or Alejandro G. Abadilla, who met both Villa and Hernandez midway, only getting what he
6
thought was good from both schools of thought and discarded the rest. (Lumbera, “Towards a
Revised History of Philippine Literature” 31). This marks the rise of the cosmopolitanization of
Tagalog poetry with the intervention of Virgilio Almario which continues to this day (35).
The introduction of New Criticism brought forth the importance of writer and critic and
added an unforeseen third party into the discourse: the audience. This gave rise to socialist and
Marxist criticism which places importance on the audience as a “definite social class” that is less
privileged than the native intelligentia (Lumbera, “Breaking Through and Away” 58). This calls
for a revision of the current mode of criticism in our literary landscape. New Criticism only
covers English, Tagalog, and Spanish—the most widely used languages in the country. What
Bienvenido Lumbera asks for is a revolutionary criticism that would involve all the 80+
languages in the country and become a tool to finally remove the marks of colonial mentality that
If the new revolutionary criticism would come through, what remains now is the question
of what language to use. Since this supposed school of criticism is supposed to elevate all the
other languages in the country to the level of the most widely used ones, does this mean we can
return to the English transcriptions of cultural and folklore studies and revert them to their
If we follow postcolonial critic and poet J. Neil Garcia’s three stages of postcolonial
identity in his essay “Reclaiming the Universal: Postcolonial Readings of Selected Anglophone
we can assume that we are already in the final stage of dis-identification (Garcia, 169-196). If so,
then Garcia’s legendizings in his 1996 poetry book Our Lady of the Carnival is a postcolonial act

legends—an act of dis-identification from the colonial identity to the postcolonial identity of the
As already established in the previous segment, majority of our earlier literatures and literatures
concerning our early ancestors were written and published by colonizers using their foreign
tongues. The earliest vernacular text by a Filipino was even drawn from a western religion. The
colonial identity is rooted deep in our history. The call for nationalism became stagnant after the
Spanish Revolution in 1896 and resurfaced only in the late 1960s in the midst of the Martial Law
Era. Because of this, there is a scarcity of texts that document our history in the vernacular.
Whatever texts we try to root in our culture are already twice removed from its true native form,
having been transcribed and hushed into permanence by the foreign languages of colonizers.
J. Neil Garcia’s poems in Our Lady of the Carnival in the chapter “Legends” present this
problem clearly. Philippine legends originally passed down from generation to generation
through oral tradition were documented by foreign academics in a foreign language. This foreign
language, now institutionalized in the country to the point that it is recognized in the Constitution
as an official language, is used to retell the “original” legends in the form of poetry through the
eyes of the othered or subaltern characters in these legends. Is Garcia’s legendizing an act of
colonialism or anti-colonialism, given that it is told in a foreign tongue and that it is rewritten in
To uncover this, we must unpack the text through postcolonialism. The text will be
subject to the scrutiny of whether a cultural text retold in a foreign language is derivative of the
8
original text. Local critics’s different takes on postcolonialism, J. Neil Garcia and Isagani Cruz,
and on the use of the vernacular, Gemino Abad, Bienvenido Lumbera, and Virgilio Almario, will
supply the criteria necessary for the chosen poems to qualify as a colonial or anti-colonial text.
Insight from the author, Garcia himself, on his poetics will also be considered in analyzing the
texts.
postcolonialism?
2. What makes the legendized poems anti-colonial or colonial?
3. What characteristics of the legendized poems make them anti-colonial or colonial?
4. How can this new legendized poems be reconciled with the original vernacular
version?
The author of this text perceived a lack of discourse on retellings of legends, myths, and folklore
and whether the language in which they were created (English) are valid postcolonial acts that
either affirm or deny colonialism. There have been discussions on the use of English versus the
use of the vernacular. These discussions, however, only address this issue regarding independent
texts that do not fully rely on native aspects. This study will provide a discussion that overlaps
the postcolonial subject of the text, Philippine folklore, specifically legends, with the discussion
whether Philippine literature written in English can ever be truly considered Filipino in nature.

The scope of this study is the section of J. Neil Garcia’s book, Our Lady of the Carnival, labelled
as “Legends” that have available prose counterparts that were originally transcribed by the
agents of American documentation that happened in the 20th century in the Philippines. The
section contains ten poems in total: Legend of the Mango, Legend of the Babaylan, Legend of
Dama de noche, Legend of the Bamboo, Legend of the Ylang-ylang, Legend of the Camia,
Legend of the Pineapple, Legend of the Lizard, Legend of the Squash, and Legend of the
Seafoam. Out of these, only the Legend of the Mango has no available original text found in
readers and anthologies. The study will not cover this poem and will thus only cover and discuss
Theoretical Framework
This paper will endeavour to trace the problem of the study through the articulated postcolonial
theories of Homi Bhaba, Franz Fanon, and J. Neil Garcia. Postcolonial theory, in its simplest
form, is a critique on any subject that has been under the “political domination” of a more
powerful or privileged body (Tyson, 417). Different concepts under postcolonialism will be
applied on the texts, such as mimicry, unhomeliness, double consciousness, decolonization, and
hybridity, to determine the postcolonial message of the poems. These discussions will be
intersected in contrast with historical fact—what is known and acknowledged by the academic
community, about the circumstances of the poetic situation in the legends—and with discourse
on the use of English language instead of the vernacular. With these tools, the study will arrive at
a conclusive point that justifies the agency of these legendizings, the critical stance of the text,
10
whether it is colonial or anti-colonial, and the justification or otherwise of the use of the English
Chapter 2
In order to properly meet the designed objectives of this paper, the author decided to divide the
texts into four sections: the history of literature in the Philippines; postcolonial texts and essays:
poetic agency on the choice of taking the perspective of the “subaltern” in the retelling of the
legends; the decision to use the English language instead of the vernacular; and poetics, both in
To provide a substantial foundation of the study, the literary history of the Philippines has to be
discussed to establish what came before and after colonial influence arrived in the country.
Damiana L. Eugenio, a scholar of the early American public education system, collected one of
the most diverse compilations of Philippine folk literature from myths to legends to native
customs and everything in between. Her work has been an important reference in multiple
folklore studies because of its vast content and detailed classification of tropes and cataloguing in
each entry, including their place and/or culture of origin. Volume 2 of her Philippine Folk
Literature Series focuses on myths and efficiently provided the sources for the prose counterparts
11
Eugenio had also published multiple articles in renowned journals both here and abroad
regarding the study of Philippine folklore. Two of these works are included in the method of this
paper. Her paper in the Philippine Studies journal from Ateneo de Manila University in 1987,
entitled “Folklore in Philippine Schools,” provided details on the folklore collections published
from the beginning of the American education system and discussed the importance of teaching
folk literature in enriching the knowledge of the youth on their cultural identity (175-190).
In another journal, Asian Folklore Studies, Eugenio provided brief definitions for the
different kinds of folk literature—namely myth, legends, and folktales (155-177). The paper also
shines a light on the methods of acquiring and gathering them before considering the materials
gathered to be classified as genuine folk literature. The final part of the article is the different
classifications and characteristics of each classification of folk literature which was what she also
applied in cataloguing the multi-volume folklore compilations. The terms and definitions laid out
in this paper help the further analysis of the original texts and the legendized poems.
Another contribution to this part of the analysis is Miguel A. Bernad’s paper in the Budhi
journal from the Ateneo entitled “Philippine Literature: A Twofold Renaissance” (35-59). His
take on the history of literature and literacy in pre-colonial and Spanish colonial eras of
Philippine society is important in illustrating the defence of the use of English in the
Handbook of Philippine Folklore provides a general history that is not nuanced by political
ideologies and focuses only on the text and the context (xxi-53). This is important when
from his book, Revaluation: Essays on Philippine Literature, Cinema, and Popular Culture
12
where his analysis of Philippine literary history is peppered with nationalist perspectives (3-49).
This provides us with an introduction to the next topic to be applied on the text.
Lumbera’s selected essays from Revaluation provide us with a bridge that connects three
concepts: criticism, poetics, and history. His essays highlight and emphasize a focus on the
On the other hand, the J. Neil Garcia’s essays on postcolonial criticism, taken from The
applications on local texts and thus provide a cornerstone for the analysis of the poems in this
paper.
The middle ground between Garcia and Lumbera is David Bayot’s book, Isagani Cruz
and the Other Other, which treats the postcolonial theory as text and deconstructs it to enable the
author to utilize the method on the legendized poems in this study (1996). He removes the theory
from the text and the text from the context to deliver the barest theory which can be effectively
Gemino Abad’s essays provide different strands of discourse for this topic where the colonized or
the subaltern decolonizes the language of the colonizer and makes it their own. Conversely, F.
Sionil Jose’s essay provides us with a nationalist perspective where the language a people use
13
defines them (12-16). These two will be discussed in Garcia’s many essays concerning
Poetics
Abad’s poetics on literature in English provides a guide on how to best read the text without
forgetting that it is a postcolonial subject being subjected to another postcolonial subject (the
author). While Garcia’s poetics share some of this sentiment, his poetics are more concerned
with the impetus for the conception of the poem until its final birthing onto the paper.
