Dangkaw

Legend from the Ilokano People of the Philippines

In the olden times, there was a hunter named Dangkaw. He was widely known for his skills of hunting different animals in the forest. No one could equal the number of animals he brought home from a hunt. One day, he went hunting again in the forest. He saw a deer which he shot and killed. When he was going to pick up the deer he had killed, a beautiful woman appeared. This beauty was a fairy of the forest. She was very angry with Dangkaw for his killing the deer. She said that he must be punished. She ruled that he live in the forest, not with his family. Dangkaw had to go home accompanied by the fairy who turned invisible. He explained to his wife what had happened and bid her good-bye. He returned to the forest and the fairy reappeared. She told him that he would stay there forever and that he was going to take care of the animals in the forest. Dangkaw and the fairy got married and they stayed in the forest taking care of the different animals in the forest. The people say that when the hunters go to the mountain or the forest and they hear a shout, they would not catch anything and all the animals would leave. Even to this day, the hunters say that when they hear a shout while hunting, they cannot catch anything. So they say that Dangkaw is still there guarding the animals.

Haikyuu boys with a Filipina s/o pt.1

Tsukishima Kei

he was quite fond when he found out you were a filipino.

BUT Tsukki being Tsukki, he would pretend he’s not interested even the tiniest  bit.

When you started sharing how your language had different dialects, oh boy he was listening attentively even if had his headphones on he turned off the music

Tsukishima was smiling the whole time when you started talking in Filipino when your mom called you

So He started searching filipino words so he could surprise you with him speaking it

“Oi, Y/N”

“What?”

“Mahal kita” (I love you)

You almost lost it since it was the first time Tsukishima told you he loves you and HE SPOKE IT IN YOUR LANGUAGE

He was so proud of himself when he saw you blushing madly

Ever since then, you would teach him basic filipino words also trying hard not to laugh at his cute accent or else you won't ever hear him talk in Filipino again

Tsukishima also did tons of research about your culture and you were stunned when he went to your home then performed “mano po” to your parents who were impressed (mano po is a sign of respect for the elderly where you would ask for their hand and proceed to touch your forehead with the back of their hand)

Kageyama Tobio

baby boy literally was stunned that he stopped functioning

Oh I’m dating a filipina? Not a japanese? Okay

He asked you if Filipino was harder than English 

Kags almost lost it when you spoke 2 Filipino dialects it almost made him asked your hand in marriage

“So you know 4 languages?”

“Yes”

He was so amazed at you he got more interested and asked a lot.

You told him about your favourite volleyball star, Alyssa Valdez so when you two watched a few of her games, he instantly idolized her too.

The Adlers setter literally bought airplane tickets for the both of you so you two can watch her live

Tobio sheepishly asked you to teach him a few words along with your traditions since he thought he also had to live and know about your lifestyle as a filipina too.

“Hey Y/N”

“Yes?”

“Some of twitter users say putangina mo means I love you”

You laughed your ass off and baby Kags was so confused 

When you told him it was a curse word, he instantly slapped himself in shame

Mans gonna be lowkey proud when he understand a little bit of Tagalog while your parents were speaking it

When you two decided to go to Baguio, he instantly loved the place especially of it’s weather and scenery

You showed Kags how to eat using your hands, he grew fond of it and started practicing eating using only his hands. He does not admit it, but he loves eating with his bare hands.

He particularly loves adobong baboy (pork adobo - a cuisine)

Kageyama also proceeds to curse Hinata using tagalog words( i.e bobo meaning baka)

Bokuto Koutarou

“You’re a Filipino??? I LOVE Filipinos!”

Man was down to visit Philippines so he could study your culture

Bokuto was so dedicated learning your culture he even bought a barong tagalog (a traditional clothing worn by men especially in weddings)

“Y/N! I’m wearing this in our wedding!”

He learned about harana which was where you will serenade your lover. He instantly called the gym 3 gang, to surprise you later at night when he was performing the harana with his gang even if Bokuto wasn’t that great at singing, you still managed to fall in love with him the second time around.

He likes learning Ilokano dialect instead of Tagalog, he thinks the Ilocano dialect was more intense than the tagalog 

Cue Bokuto trying to say hoy hoy hoy! Instead of hey hey hey!

He definitely got hooked at the volleyball players, praising them with their talents

Also claims that Jollibee has the best chicken in the whole world

“I really like Ara Galang, she’s great.”

Bokuto was down for sorbetes aka dirty ice cream

Kenma Kozume

Ah this man was only interested with what Filipino people usually plays

Tries to play mobile legends

Climbs to Mythical legend after 3 days of playing then quits saying some of the players were too toxic

(His first pick was Guision and Fanny)

You were incredibly shocked when you saw Kenma being idolized in the Filipino gaming community since he was a really famous live streamer in League of Legends

“Y/N, what does Lodi mean?”

“Why do you know that?”

“Someone kept on calling me Lodi while I was streaming”

Also buys a bahay kubo, a traditional filipino home since he thinks a bahay kubo is a good place to relax 

Turns the bahay kubo in to his gaming area respectively

WAS TOTALLY HOOKED WITH FILIPINO CUISINE!!!

When he tried Menudo, he instantly liked it, he kept on asking to have Menudo for dinner

Also proceeds to order lechon baboy once a week since he loves how crispy the skin was and also how tasty the gravy was

Kenma loved Siargao island, saying the scenery and the place was peaceful and hopes to live there once you two have already settled down

You were totally shocked when you found out he already bought an estate in Siargao yes Kenma you are such a sugar daddy
