PHILIPPINE FOLK
SONGS
These songs are usually
about a particular group of
people, an event, or an
experience.
The central traditions of folk
music are transmitted orally or

learned through hearing rather
than the reading of words
Folk songs talk about love and
courtship, social concerns,
historical events, and everyday
life experiences.
