    The document discusses Filipino folktales and archetypes used to portray women. It analyzes the relationship between the gods Tungkung Langit and Alunsina, noting that Alunsina felt purposeless and left due to being confined to domestic duties while her husband imposed order on the cosmos. The document questions whether this portrayal accurately reflects Filipino women and their roles, or has outdated implications of women being subordinate and defined by their relationships to men.
