    SI MALAKAS,

    SI MAGANDA, AT
    ANG PAGDAMI NG
    TAO
    Legend has it that the first Filipino man and
    woman were born from a bamboo stalk.
    They both had brown skin and supple
    bodies. The man was named Malakas, or
    "Strong One"; the woman, Maganda, or the
    "Beautiful One." Two traits which make the
    Filipino unique among its Asian neighbors --
    their strength and resiliency despite a lot of
    adversity and trials which come their way;
    and their beauty which is reflected in their
    surroundings.
     Like many other countries, the
    Philippines also has its own versions of
    how the world was created.

     Itgives the readers a glimpse of how


    early Filipinos view their origin.
     Though Philippine mythology may not be as
    widely known as its European and East Asian
    counterparts, it contains similar elements
    such as their belief in deities, creation stories
    and mythical creatures.

     This is a very popular folk tale in the country


    and has varied details in different provinces
    all over the Philipines.
