Abstract

This study analyzed the social realities embodied in five selected folk songs of Southern Leyte. Through mimetic literary analysis, the results proved that the selected folk songs of Southern Leyte represent the following social realities: “U, Putli nga Bulak” (Oh, Flower Chaste) - infidelity, “Batasan nga Bag-u” (New Custom) - biases for men, “Panimalay” (Household) - family solidarity, “Bulak nga Lasangnun” (Forest Flower) - narcissism, “Ang Nasud Tang Pilipinas” (Our Country, Philippines) - patriotism.
