Philippine creation myths

Professor D.L. Ashliman at the University of Pittsburgh has compiled Philippine creation myths on his online library of folk tales and mythology.

Translated into English, there are creation stories with Igorot, Bagobo, Tagalog origins, and more. The major source used is a 1916 book called Philippine Folk Tales by Mabel Cook Cole.

Not exactly "Malakas at Maganda," but it's an additional reference in case you're doing research on alamat.
