Pala'wan "Sudsugid" Stories and their Viability in Developing Story Books for Indigenous People Education (IPED)

This study documents “sudusugid” oral literature in a community in Sitio Tagbituka, Brgy. Tarusan, Bataraza. The researchers accomplished it by using a qualitative approach in the form of narrative research. Community elders served as key informants for this study. During the site visits from April 26 to May 20, 2022, ten (10) "sudsugid" stories were told by the key informants but mentioned that not all of them are appropriate to be developed into storybooks for elementary learners as some of them have inappropriate themes. From the ten stories presented by the key informants, they have suggested two stories that could be developed as storybooks. Results also indicate how each individual story reflects the Pala'wan culture, such as their cosmology and value system.
