Filipino proverbs, folk literature, mythology…

I was doing some research on Wikipedia, on the “Did you know…” section, I bumped into a very interesting article.  It was “Filipino proverbs“, I’ve been searching for such an article in Wikipedia but just couldn’t find them. I think I used wrong keywords to look for it.

But anyways, I also found other interesting articles, “Philippine folk literature” & “Philippine mythology“. I believe this articles were newly written.

Based on my understanding, Wikipedia’s “Did you know…” section only shows new articles. Not old ones like for how many years already.

I’m currently looking at Wikipedia right now, but I couldn’t find what I found this morning. The part where it was talking about “Filipino proverbs“.

I think this is a good idea that someone actually made an article about interesting things about our culture. I mean, the issue of racism that is still going on in the UK, I think this is a good way to point other nationalities attention. And for Filipino people to move on.

I wouldn’t really say that Wikipedia is 100% acurate, but I would suggest that you have a look at those articles.
