ABSTRACT
In the analysis of the first two stories, I shall examine how the Manobos define their cosmos and who inhabits this space. I shall also discuss how these beings should relate to one another in order for them to create a community. Then in the analysis of the third story, I will talk about the nature of this cosmos as it adjusts to the external and inevitable changes that have emerged out of contacts with the cosmos of the outsider Christian settlers. Rather than representing an abstract cosmos, therefore, I also hope to show not a reified model but one that does change to accommodate external cultural pressures.
