Question: Not a language question, but a culture question; I hav

@MakNCheeez Have you gone through the Wikipedia article yet? They have some good basic info:
en.wikipedia.org/wik i/History_of_the_Phi lippines_(900%E2%80%931565)

@jkos I have'nt checked Wilipedia, I have been looking for books of myths and clothing, but I should have started there! Maraming salamat.

@MakNCheeez “State and Society in the Philippines” by Abinales and Amoroso, and “A History of the Philippines from Indios Bravos to Filipinos” by Luis Francia both have some information.

Aswangproject.com for Bakunawa.There's no coherent description of the Bakunawa except for it being a moon eater. In some lores it is a dragon, in some lores a sea serpent. It really depends on which ethnic group describes it.So, if you want a "Bakunawa" tattoo, you're not likely going to find an "original reference".

Bakunawa is like a dragon that flies and swallows the sun or the moon. That is the explanation of our great grandparents to our grandparents about eclipse. Bakunawa is an Ilonggo word. A dialect spoken by Ilonggos in Visayas. Ilonggo is one of the major dialects here in the Philippines. Here, I found something: philippineculturaled ucation.com.ph/bakun awa/

@MakNCheeez For Clothing before The Philippines was colonized by the Spaniards, before the Borneans came, Check this out: steemit.com/culturea ndheritage/@diosaric h/the-t-nalak-a-show case-of-colorfuWhat you will see are mostly the modern versions, you will be very lucky to find the older ones which are closed to the original designs. I have seen one 25 years ago.And here, Check this out National Commission for Culture and Arts ncca.gov.ph/

@Bituingmaykinang Thank you! I will look at the website, I'm not looking for a tattoo, I just meant that when I google or search for information of precolonial cultures all I usually find are the tribal tattoo designs and stories of Bakunawa. But I like myths like Bakunawa so I want to find more information. But I've never seen that website before I will look into it maraming salamat! I'm glad I got so many different resources to look at now.

@Redlotus45 maraming salamat! I'm so happy everyone has resources for me to look into! I didn't know it was llonggo, I will look more into that as well, thank you!

@Redlotus45 Oh! I love these websites, I can tell I'm going to have a lot of fun exploring these sites! Maraming salamat!!

@Diegocorry Maraming salamat! I'm going to see where I can get those, I really appreciate it!!

@MakNCheeez language forms a part of culture and you might like to search baybayin. Various forms of baybayin writing script were used throughout before the colonization by the Spanish.

@Fujishooter That's really cool, I'll look into it, it looks so elegant. Maraming Salamat!
