Conclusion

Chants played a significant role during the Pre-Spanish period in the Philippines, serving
various cultural and spiritual purposes. They were primarily oral in nature and were integral
to various aspects of daily life, from rituals to entertainment.

1. Definition and Types of Chants

Chants in the Pre-Spanish period, commonly referred to as "Bulong" or "Pasintabi" by the


Tagalogs, were often used in mystical practices or enchantments ((54)). These chants
could take on different forms, such as love songs, war songs, and lullabies, reflecting the
diverse cultural expressions of various communities ((40)).

2. Cultural Significance

Chants were not only artistic expressions but also mediums of communication among the
people. They were often associated with specific ceremonies or events and served to
educate or entertain the audience ((40)) ((54)). For instance, chants were performed
during rituals related to healing and spiritual gatherings, highlighting their significance in
social contexts ((121)).

3. Oral Tradition

The majority of the literary expressions during the Pre-Spanish period were passed down
orally, and chants were no exception. They were vital in maintaining cultural heritage and
identity, allowing stories, values, and traditions to survive through generations ((124))
((130)). This rich oral tradition illustrates how deeply rooted chants were in the fabric of
early Philippine society.

4. Examples of Chants

Cultural records document a variety of chants that existed, such as "Kundiman," which are
love songs, and "Kumintang," which served as national chants ((120)) ((124)). These
examples demonstrate the thematic diversity within the tradition of chants, encompassing
both personal and communal experiences.

Chants from the Pre-Spanish period have influenced contemporary Filipino music and
literature. Their rhythmic and narrative qualities continue to resonate in modern
performances, showcasing the enduring legacy of these early artistic expressions ((120))
