The tale of Pantaleon "Palaris" Perez and the 1762 revolution he waged in the old town of Binalatongan, now San Carlos city has been passed down from generations to generations in Pangasinan. In Juan Villamil's novel "Si Mabayani ya Palaris" (The Heroism of Palaris), the Binalatongan native writer weaves together historical facts and myth and legends about the revolutionary hero, Palaris, known for his skills in sword fight, arrow, and cyclone-like speed that are characteristics innate of the people's tales about him as the child of a giant. Villamil writes the novel to find his roots in his home province's history, an attempt to form Pangasinan's local history and memory and place the province in the national history and consciousness. In the novel, Villamil traces the historical, legendary, and mythological backdrop of the narrative from his mythological origins of being a giant's child who was borne out of a tornado, to his heroic exploits in leading the Pangasinan natives in a revolution against the abusive Spaniards. The novel takes into account the legend, mythology, and history of Palaris and elevates the role of this native hero as a symbolic appropriation of the 1762 revolution. The fabled Binalatongan bell figures as a war artifact that Palaris stole to claim victory in the fight against the abusive Spaniards. In Villamil's novel, folklore serves as a point of entry to this turbulent but revolutionary turning point in Pangasinan identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
