The historical novel has been cultivated with success by F. uk: news, business, sport, the Daily Telegraph newspaper, Sunday Telegraph However, when it comes to training Amaya as a warrior, I feel like this is just artistic license because it seems pretty obvious from the reactions of characters on the show that becoming a warrior is something a binukot was not supposed to do.One of my favourite - and most surprising - treatments is at an Indian restaurant in London called Amaya, where oysters are served in a delectably delicate curry sauce. To the blogger: I agree with you about the inaccuracies. Ang unang poster was commenting lang sa the fact that straying from historical and cultural truth defeats the purpose of hiring yong mga historians. It doesn't really mean failed in a broad sense. To 2nd anonymous: "Fail" is American slang. high ratings doesn't mean amaya has been true to history.the binukot has been wrongly portrayed in amaya also stupid ang comments, ask nyo hirtorians para di kayo mukhang tanga sa mga post nyo/.Īnonymous, you misunderstood the comment of anonymous 1, read again. I so agree with u! it's just for the ratings! they even hired historians, but sad to say they fail! super epic fail!Īmaya failed? lol youre so funny! unbeatable siya sa primtetime. So what's fiction about Amaya's depiction of the Binukot? They're not really trained for combat and not made to wear revealing clothes like the voluptuous Marian Rivera does - it's just for the ratings game! :P It's said that a binukot woman is the most beautiful in the family and command a high price in an auction when a binukot reaches her marrying age. They're only taught how to dance and recite hours-long epics (therefore also become keepers of tradition) They're not allowed to play outside, not sent to school. Food are delivered to them, bathed and combed and treated like a princess. Binukot system is also practiced in other tribes of South East Asia and Austronesia.īinukot women live by themselves in a bukot (hence the word binukot) shielded from other people, always wearing a veil, skin untouched by direct sunlight and their feet can't touch the ground. In the Philippines, the binukot (meaning well-kept maiden) is a practice of the tumandok (mountain people) of Capiz, Antique and Iloilo in the island of Panay, particularly of the Panay-Bukidnon community (Panayanon Sulud or Suludnon). Tutubi first encountered the word binukot on TV some years ago through Kara David's work on i-Witness, also on GMA 7. ![]() What does Amaya mean in English? For the Ifugao people the Cordilleras, Amaya means "love charm," in English though Amaya also means "night rain" in Japanese (Tutubi also loves Japan, he studied Nihongo (Japanese) in college and intends to do a backpacking Japan trip someday) ![]() Long before GMA 7 thought of writing and filming historical "epic-serye" Amaya currently showing on prime time TV, Tutubi has the name already reserved for his future daughter, if he's going to be blessed with one, due to it's meaning as well as a true Filipino name, unlike most babies nowadays given foreign-sounding names. ![]() More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!
