Although anthropologists, and more recently astronomers, have studied and published on the astronomical beliefs and practices of different Philippine ethnic groups, one other source of information available to ethnoastronomers is the astronomical data contained in myths and legends. This paper analyses the astronomical stories contained in the book Philippine Folk Tales. These stories were compiled and annotated by the American anthropologist Mabel Cook Cole and published in 1916, and they focus on Indigenous views of the Sun, the Moon and the stars. Most of the 'folk tales' in Cole's book derive from northern Luzon and ethnic groups in the Davao district on the island of Mindanao.
