Filipino Fairy Tales, Mythology and Folklore - Episode 66 - The Creation of the Earth

This new season of Filipino Fairy Tales, Mythology, and Folklore begins with "The Creation of the Earth," a Philippine folktale about the ocean, the sky, a kite bird, bamboo, and the beginning of humanity. In this episode, Nathalie reflects on Philippine sky stories, oral tradition, and the ways our ancestors used myth to understand the natural world. The episode also includes the tale in both English and Tagalog, with a Tagalog translation by K.S. Villoso and a reading by Mikhail.
