Folklore has always been the meeting ground between imagination and memory
Across centuries and the archipelago
Artists have drawn from these tales to create works that not only keep traditions alive but also reimagine them for new generations.
Preserving the Past. Inspiring the Present. Creating for the Future.
Across the islands of the Philippines, stories have always lived in the whispers of the wind, the rhythm of the waves, and the beating hearts of our people. These stories tell of gods and mortals, spirits and heroes, love and loss, triumph and transformation. They are the soul of our identity, passed from generation to generation through songs, dances, paintings, poetry, and oral tradition.

Folklore
Folklore Pilipinas is a collective of creative artists, storytellers, and academics dedicated to preserving, reimagining, and celebrating the rich tapestry of Philippine folklore, mythology, and history. Our mission is to keep these stories alive—not as relics of the past, but as living, breathing inspirations for today’s generation.
Through visual arts, performance, literature, film, and digital media, we bring to life the timeless tales of our ancestors—bridging tradition and innovation, memory and imagination. Each creation is both a tribute and a reawakening: a way to reconnect modern audiences with the deep cultural roots that shape who we are as Filipinos.
From the haunting beauty of aswang myths and the bravery of epic heroes, to the hidden legends behind mountains, rivers, and stars, Folklore Pilipinas transforms the old into the new—inviting everyone to see our heritage not just as history, but as a wellspring of creativity and national pride.
Join us as we preserve, relive, and reimagine the stories that define the Filipino spirit.
Let’s keep our myths alive. Let’s tell the stories that make us who we are
