DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THE BOOK
Hungaw follows Humadapnon’s journey to seek Nagmalitong Yawa’s hand for marriage after successfully retrieving the biday or boat that serves as her tuos or mark of engagement. After an initial misunderstanding with Labaw Donggon, Mali’s father, Humadapnon is well-received by her relatives and their marriage is arranged and attended by many respectable people.
This volume highlights the intricate social dynamics of the Panay-Bukidnon society, particularly in conducting the hungaw, a traditional wedding ceremony, and showcases their beliefs and practices toward hospitality, kinship, marriage, and the supernatural.
ABOUT THE CHANTER
Federico Caballero was born in Barangay Masaroy, Calinog, Iloilo, and came from a long family line of epic chanters. He helped pioneer the first School of Living Traditions (SLT) in the Visayas in Barangay Garangan, Calinog, Iloilo, teaching epic chanting along with other Panay-Bukidnon arts through his wife’s and siblings’ assistance. He died on August 17, 2024, at the age of eighty-five, leaving a collection of thirteen titles in the Sugidanon (Epics) of Panay series published by the UP Press.
ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR AND RESEARCHER
Dr. Alicia P. Magos is professor emeritus from UP Visayas. Her work on the Sugidanon (Epics) of Panay spans more than three decades. Together with Federico Caballero, she spearheaded the first School of Living Traditions (SLT) at Barangay Garangan, Calinog, Iloilo, revitalizing the Panay Bukidnon’s epic chanting and their long-forgotten or abandoned needlework called panubok (from tubok, “to slip a needle inside a cloth”).
ABOUT THE RESEARCHER
