| Summary | "El Folk-lore Filipino (Tomo I)" by Isabelo de los Reyes y Florentino is a foundational work on Philippine folklore written in the late 19th century. This scholarly publication delves into the rich tapestry of Filipino folk traditions, including mythology, superstitions, and various cultural practices. It serves as both a compilation and analysis of the oral traditions and beliefs of the Filipino people, particularly those from the Ilocos region, providing insights into their historical and cultural significance. At the start of the text, the author outlines the necessity and importance of folklore as a discipline that studies popular knowledge and cultural heritage. He addresses the challenges faced in collecting and preserving folk narratives, emphasizing the role of folklore in understanding the past and identity of the Filipino people. The introduction presents the author's commitment to faithfully recording folk practices and beliefs, along with their implications for various fields such as anthropology and history. This sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of Filipino culture through its myths, rituals, and social customs, with the aim of safeguarding this invaluable heritage against the tide of modernization.
