Philippine Mythology - The Adam and Eve of the Ilocanos

Philippine magazine, Volume 31, Number 1, May 1931 19. THE ADAM AND EVE OF THE ILOCANOS* (Iloko) With the possible exception of Lam-ang and Kannoyan, the hero and heroine of the Ilocano epic, perhaps there are no more famous characters in the Ilocano saga than Angalo and Aran, cyclopean beings who, according to some llocano myths, were the first beings on earth. Angalo and Aran, llocano popular beliefs say, lived before the creation of the sky, the sea, the land, and, for that matter, man. They were beings, with human form, of formidable proportions. They are believed to be the biggest giants in legend. Angalo's head reached the heavens, and he could make the distance between Manila and Vigan in one step. The earth trembled when he walked, and he could be heard throughout the world when he spoke or laughed. Angalo created the world at the command of the supreme god. Who this god was, the legends don't mention. In the beginning, the earth was all plain;

SMART-PLDT's Flawed Services: A First-Hand Experience

After fulfilling my obligations, I've finally closed my SMART-PLDT account. With 24-month contracts for their PLDT-Smart Wi-Fi plan priced at 999 pesos/month, the service quality has notably deteriorated since SMART's takeover of PLDT. I became a SMART-PLDT subscriber in Malate, experiencing issues immediately after the satellite installation. Over a span of three months, I encountered persistent service disruptions, leading me to contact their technicians multiple times. Often, I found myself waiting for over an hour to reach their customer support. Interestingly, the third technician identified the cause – trees near my residence were disrupting the signal. He recommended switching to the Wi-Max outdoor product. Despite my tight schedule, I visited their service centres in Alabang, Mega-mall, and Robinson Ermita. Both Ermita and Mega-mall centres informed me that changing services during the 24-month contract was impossible. However, Alabang acknowledged the problem and asked

Did China discover America? (video)

The primary proponent of the “China discovered America” theory is Gavin Menzies, a British historian who has published several books on the subject, most notably 1421: The Year China Discovered the World. In it, he claims that the Chinese admiral Zheng He sailed from China to the Bahamas and back, but how factual are his claims? This map is one that Menzies uses to support his claims. A Shanghai-based lawyer purchased the map in 2001. He claims that it is a 1760s copy of an original map created in 1418, three years before Menzies’ alleged date of Zheng’s discovery of America. [1] There are several things wrong with using this map as proof. For one, the depiction of the Earth as two intersecting hemispheres is a feature that is only found in European maps. Additionally, the immense detail in which North and South America is depicted would not be able to be achieved in 30 years of voyages. It took the Europeans hundreds of years to get to this level of detail, and the amou
