Folk Tale

Note

AuthorDean S. Fansler
Book TitleFilipino Popular Tales
Publication Date1921
LanguageEnglish

I know of no variants of this tale, which pretty evidently represents old tribal Pampangan tradition. The device by which Tomarind lures the wicked datu to his death is not unlike incident J in our No. 20 (see notes), but there is clearly no other connection between the two stories.
