MUNI-MUNI STORIES Season 2Episode 5: KhavnBalangiga: Howling Wilderness (2017)
The historical film Balangiga: Howling Wilderness (2017) revisits Samar in 1901. Through the eyes of a boy named Kulas, the director Khavn portrays a child’s flight from his hometown with his grandfather and a toddler whom they rescue. Two versions of Katurog Na (Tulog Na/Sleep Now) are the focus of conversation: an instrumental version and another performed by Khavn and Lolita Carbon. Motifs from this song run through the film. The episode builds the case that the movie should be seen by children. It also digs deep into the significance of naming, evident in the characters’ names, as well as the references to mythology and the rituals related to anting-anting. Muni-Muni Stories Season 2 is exclusively available on Spotify. You may also follow Filipinas Heritage Library and Podcast Network Asia on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for more updates.
