Words of Wisdom
Damiana L. Eugenio, is a distinguished scholar of Philippine Folklore compiled and
edited what may very well be considered as the most comprehensive collection of proverbs
in our country. There is a limited number of works like this in existence. She spent a lifetime
collecting pieces of folk literature that reveal our ancestors’ wisdom. When she gathered
proverbs from various areas in our country, she declared that our elders lived by simple, yet
meaningful rules of righteous living.
In fact, she asserted that even the Spaniards who colonized our country noticed how
proverbs formed part of the native spirit. Spanish missionaries were found to have translated
such proverbs and other oral expressions in Spanish in order for their fellow religious people to
learn our indigenous languages. By doing so, they were able to interact with the early
Filipinos there and eventually introduce the Catholic faith.
Proverbs are brief instructive expressions that suggest a specific action, behavior, or
judgment. Referred to by some scholars as “the wisdom of many and the wit of one”, they
are commonly written in the form of short assertions or poetic two-liners which have rhyme. It
is interesting to note that people are easily struck by proverbs when they are woven in
conversations or writings. This is perhaps because they have the power to teach people the
more essential truths about life and the complexity of living. Compared to lengthy narrations,
descriptions, or argumentations, proverbs are able to effect quickly a change in view or
disposition
In Filipino, proverbs are called salawikain or sawikain. They prescribe norms, impart a
lesson, or emphasize traditions and beliefs in a community. In the anthology of Damiana L.
Eugenio, she classified proverbs into six categories.
(1) proverbs expressing a general attitude towards life and the laws that govern life.
Ang kapalaran ko di ko man hanapin, dudulog lalapit kung talagang akin.
The good fortune which is intended for me will come even without my seeking it.
(2) ethical proverbs recommending certain virtues and condemning certain vices.
Walang utang na di pinagbayaran.
No debt remains unpaid.
(3) proverbs expressing a system of values.
Ang taong tamad ay parang nangangamoy na karne. (Ilokano)
A lazy young man is like foul-smelling meat.
(4) proverbs expressing general truths and observations about life and human nature.
Huli man at magaling, ay naihahabol din
A good thing is never too late.
 (5) humorous proverbs
Kay tagal nanindahan, kabili bili’y balindang.
After shopping for a long time, he ended up with a poor purchase.
(6) miscellaneous proverbs
Ang tulog na namamangka ay hindi alam kung saan ang binabaybay na sapa.
The sleeping boatman does not know the stream he has passed.

Our proverbs are not only witty expressions. They are also our cultural treasures. As we
continue to use them in various spoken or written forms and as we explore ways of representing
them in graphic, musical, or dramatic modes, we facilitate their preservation. And though
these, we strengthen our identity as a people.
