    Statement ang Malolo: An analysis of an Ilonggo concept
    Bartonico, Alora Grace P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-04)
    This paper examines the different perspectives that have been used to define the meaning of Ilonggo concept malolo. It argues that the concept malolo derives not only its linguistic characteristics but it is also manifested through observable behaviors of Ilonggos. It reviews the meaning of the concept across history by inspecting some pieces of Ilonggo literature of the 20th century. This paper also examines the meaning of the term as it is understood by today's speakers themselves. It describes the use of the term malolo as a stereotype for Ilonggos by both Hiligaynon and non-Hiligaynon speakers. It observes that the concept has different uses and meanings across generations; as well, the understanding of the concept differs from rural and urban areas
