This study analyzed the rural life imagery representations in selected folk songs of Southern Leyte. The formalistic analysis revealed that “Awit sa Bukid” (Song of the Mountain) projected farmers working to attain a good harvest. The folk song “Barutu” (Boat) presented a coffin made out of a sawed-off boat and funeral activities. “Alibangbang” (Butterfly) featured a man courting and exploiting a woman then leaving her for another woman. “May Balay Gamay sa Bungtud” (There Was a Hut on the Hill) portrayed a socialite mother living in a shanty on a hill. The findings showed representations of rural life imagery in the selected folk songs of Southern Leyte.
