Spine subtitle: the geography of the Filipino body.
This is the second in the Philippine reader series on the traditional culture of the Philippines. The body book deals with the Filipino Katawan. It names and describes the parts and systems, which are those of basic homo sapiens. It also points out racial distinctions (e.g. Kayumanggi skin, low nose), notions of well-being and nuances of aches and pains, comments on the importance placed on specific organs. What is healthy to a Filipino? With what organ does a Pinoy love? Why this literary dissection of the Filipino body? Because it is a good place to begin to learn about being Filipino. After all, assumptions, perceptions and expectations of the physical body are reflections of the indigenous psyche and for the Filipino of a colonial experience that not only infused foreign blood but also imposed foreign cultures. The body book lists vernacular (mostly Tagalog) names of body parts. It records, songs, riddles, adages, and cultural trivia, as well as folk stories about parts of the body and their origin.
