Ancient Legends

Recorded in Filipino myth are the migration movements of birds and fish, solar and lunar patterns, plant growth and seasonal weather changes.  In ancient stories and belief these observations of natures life cycle added to mythological legends, leading to the early use of calendars. 

Studies have shown that the Filipino's were using recording systems in folklore for centuries.  These systems tracked a species of bamboo that only flowered every 120 years.  Many rituals involved the earth's rhythm.  Bamboo firings were believed to ward off evil, also prevented overgrowth.  Timing was crucial for farming and food gathering, folklore served well as a timetable.
