Lolo Jose (Grandfather Jose)
By Coritha
Noong panahong s'ya ay hari
Masigla ang kanyang pagbati
Mahigpit ang hawak ng mga daliri
At ang lakad nama'y matuwid
Mahusay ang kanyang talumpati
Makisig kung siya ay magdamit
Malalim ang kanyang pag-iisip
At lahat ay sa kanya nakatitig
Ngunit ngayong s'ya'y pagod na
Mahina na rin ang katawan
Pinagmamasdan na lamang sa bintana
Ang unti-unting pagdaloy ng ulan
Bridge:
At ang unang tanong sa umaga
Kung ano ang kanyang nagawa
Sa paglipas ng siyamnapung taon
Nang siya'y malakas at bata pa
Chorus:
Si Lolo Jose, si Lolo Jose
Si Lolo Jose ay matanda na
Ngunit mahal ko pa si Lolo Jose
Kahit s'ya ngayon ay laos na
Sa piling ng mga alaala
Lagi na lamang nag-iisa
Kahit sulyap, walang maasahan
Sa anak na di man s'ya mapagbigyan
Bridge:
At ang unang tanong sa umaga
Kung mayron pa s'yang magigisnan
Na liwanag sa nalalabing buhay
Ngayon s'ya'y matanda at laos na ...
(Repeat chorus)
Si Lolo Jose, si Lolo Jose
Si Lolo Jose ay matanda na
Ngunit mahal ko pa si Lolo Jose
Kahit s'ya ngayon ay laos na
Sa dilim ng kanyang pag-aasam
Maghapon na lang nakabantay
Kung kanyang matatanaw pa ang hiwaga
Nang hindi malimot n'yang nakaraan
At ang diwa ng kahapon di na matagpuan
At ang sinag ng umaga dinaanan ng ulan
At ang hirap ng nasa puso di na mapapantayan
Kung maari lang, maari lang
Pawiin ang dusa ...
(Repeat chorus)
Si Lolo Jose, si Lolo Jose
Si Lolo Jose ay matanda na
Ngunit mahal ko pa si Lolo Jose
Kahit s'ya ngayon ay laos na

MYTHS
Bilaan (Mindanao)
In the very beginning there lived a being so large that he cannot be compared with any known thing. His name was Melu, and when he sat on the clouds, which were his home, he occupied all the space above. His teeth were pure gold, and because he was very cleanly and continually rubbed himself with his hands, his skin became pure white. The dead skin which he rubbed off his body was placed on one side in a pile, and by and by this pile became so large that he was annoyed and set himself to consider what he could do with it.
Finally Melu decided to make the earth; so he worked very hard in putting the dead skin into shape, and when it was finished he was so pleased with it that he determined to make two beings like himself, though smaller, to live on it.
Taking the remnants of the material left after making the earth he fashioned two men, but just as they were all finished except their noses, Tau Tana from below the earth appeared and wanted to help him.
Melu did not wish any assistance, and a great argument ensued. Tau Tana finally won his point and made the noses which he placed on the people upside down. When all was finished, Melu and Tau Tana whipped the forms until they moved. Then Melu went to his home above the clouds, and Tau Tana returned to his place below the earth.
All went well until one day a great rain came, and the people on the earth nearly drowned from the water which ran off their heads into their noses. Melu, from his place on the clouds, saw their danger, and he came quickly to earth and saved their lives by turning their noses the other side up.
The people were very grateful to him, and promised to do anything he should ask of them. Before he left for the sky, they told him that they were very unhappy living on the great earth all alone, so he told them to save all the hair from their heads and the dry skin from their bodies and the next time he came he would make them some companions. And in this way there came to be a great many people on the earth.
