FOREWORD

Some of the glory of the Philippines lies in the beautiful variety of people and languages within its coasts. It is to the great credit of the national le~dership over the years that no attempt has been made to destroy this national heritage. The goal has been instead to preserve its integrity and dignity while building on this strong foundation a lasting super-structure of national language and culture.

The present book is one of many designed for this purpose. It recognizes the pedagogical importance of dividing literacy and second­language learning into two steps--literacy being the first. When a student has learned to read the language he understands best, the resulting satisfaction in his accomplishment gives the drive and confidence he needs to learn the national language. His ability to read, further­more, is the indispensable tool for the study this program will require.

The Ministry of Education and Culture of the Philippines is proud to present this latest volume on a nationwide series designed to teach the national language through literacy in the vernaculars. It will strengthen both the parts of the nation and the whole.

Juan L. Manuel Minister

Preface

This booklet contains a collection of Subanon riddles. Many Subanon people from S1ocon and Malayal, Zamboanga del Norte have contributed to 1t, including the late Guag Pamalisan, Superintendent of Sibuku District Schools.

This booklet is designed for Subanon '

readers and for their enjoyment of their cultural herit~ge. The riddles are not arranged in any particular order so that the fun of guessing might not be decreased. On the back of each page the answers are given for easy ~eference.

The letters in ~he Subanon alphabet are: a, b, k, d, e, g, h, 1, •, 1, m, n, o, p, r, s. t, u, wand y. Glottal catch is always symbolized by the single quote ('). All other letters un the Subanon alphabet correspond to the National Language equivalents.

This material has been prepared under the auspices of the summer Institute of linguistics.
