Take a step through time, in the myths that our forefathers held sacred, and in the legends that served as bedtime stories for generations of young Filipinos. Filipino myths and legends abound, as various and as numerous as our multitude of ethnolinguistic groups. Witness for instance, the assortment of creation myths among our peoples, the most familiar being that of the quarrel between the Sky and the Sea. Or the tales of the Great Deluge that exist in Luzon and in Visayan lores. Truly, like individual threads in a magnificent weave, this diversity lends our literary heritage its rich texture. More importantly, in these stories repose the spirit that defines our identity as a Filipino people (From The Insular Life Assurance Company 2009 Planner).
