    Proverbs (Salawikain)

     A proverb is a short, concrete phrase that reflects a truth based on common sense or
    experience and is widely recognized and repeated. They’re frequently metaphorical.
     These were traditionally utilized by our forefathers as laws or guidelines of good
    behavior. Others see these as allegories or parables that teach children valuable lessons.
    EXPLANATION:
    Filipino proverbs, or salawikain, reflect the country's values. Despite the fact that they have been
    narrated and passed down from generation to generation, the principles and lessons they transmit
    to us remain relevant today.

    teach a lesson, or simply reflect the community’s conventional norms, traditions, and beliefs.

    Examples of Proverbs (FOR PPT)


    1. Learn how to bend while using a short blanket.
    Matutong mamaluktot, hangga’t makitid ang kumot.
    Explanation: If your blanket is too short to entirely cover you with your legs straight, bend them. To put
    it another way, learn to adapt to your surroundings and be content with what you’ve got. If you have a
    limited budget, learn to remain economical until you can afford a little luxury.

    2. It is hard to wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.


    Mahirap gisingin ang nagtutulog-tulugan.
    Explanation: While it is easy to tell people something they do not know, it is much harder if
    they are willfully choosing not to see what is before them.
    3. Count chicks/chickens only after the eggs have hatched..
    Huwag magbilang ng sisiw hanggang di pa napipisa ang itlog.
    Explanation: Eggs are extremely delicate, and not all of them go on to become chickens. Don’t
    act on the assumption that you have something before actually do.
    4. A person who does not remember where he came from will never reach his destination.
    Ang hindi lumingon sa pinanggalingan, hindi makakarating sa paroroonan.
    Explanation: It’s critical to reflect on your origins and express gratitude to those who have gone
    before you. You are where you are today as a result of their efforts.
    1. You cannot pull hair from the bald.
    Wala kang masasabunot sa kalbo.
    Explanation: You can’t get blood out of a stone. In other words, you’re expecting someone to
    offer what they don’t have. This also applies to appealing to an emotion that a person does not
    have, such as asking an uncharitable individual for money or urging someone to love us when
    they don’t feel the same way.
