Editor's Note:
Philippine Folk The Folktales is Volue IV in the eight volume Philippine Folk Literature Series. This present collection focuses on folktales, defined in this work as fictional folk narratives, which are not considered as dogma or they may or may not have happened and are not to be taken seriously. But though they are told mostly for amusement, they perform an important teaching function as well. An "Introduction" defines the folktale and distinguishes it from the myth and the legend, briefly surveys folktale collecting activities in the and gives a detailed discussion, with illustrative examples from the collection and elsewhere, of the different types and sub-types of Philippine folktales. The tales are presented according to the following types and Animal Fables (animal and plant); Marchen, or Tales of Religious and Didactic Tales; Novelistic Tales; and Jocular tales, Numskull Tales, and other Humorous anectdotes. The tales are given in English translation, in order to make them accessible to an international readership. As in the other volumes in the series, this collection is intended to be national in scope. Care was therefore taken to ensure that it contains as wide a representation as possible of the different types and sub-types of the folktale and that it represents as many Philippine ethnolinguistic groups as possible.
