About this product

Si Pagong at si Kuneho" is a classic Filipino folktale that teaches the values of humility, patience, and perseverance. The story revolves around the contrasting personalities of Pagong (the turtle) and Kuneho (the rabbit).

Kuneho is known for being fast, confident, and boastful about his speed, while Pagong is slow-moving but wise, patient, and humble. In the story, Kuneho constantly mocks Pagong for being slow. To prove that speed isn’t everything, Pagong challenges Kuneho to a race.

During the race, Kuneho, overconfident in his abilities, decides to rest midway, assuming he has plenty of time to win. Pagong, though slow, keeps going steadily and eventually crosses the finish line first while Kuneho is still asleep.

This heartwarming story emphasizes the moral: "Slow and steady wins the race." It has been passed down through generations in the Philippines and remains a popular tale used to teach children about the value of perseverance and humility.
