	Small island communities across the Visayas region of the Philippines are sites of convergence,&lt;br&gt;engagement, and tension among people and entities of different origins and backgrounds. I&lt;br&gt;examine the content of folk narratives gathered through linguistic fieldwork in two such&lt;br&gt;communities: (i) the Municipality of Romblon, on the island of Romblon, Province of Romblon&lt;br&gt;(from 28 April-2 May, 2014) and (ii) the Municipality of Poro, on the island of Poro, in Camotes,&lt;br&gt;Province of Cebu (from 8 March-30 April, 2022) and sketch out the ways in which high relative&lt;br&gt;insularity (Baldacchino, 2006; Nash, et al., 2020) may have influenced these accounts. One&lt;br&gt;account is a tale involving a golden ship which allegedly abducts children during Holy Week in&lt;br&gt;Romblon, Romblon (Santiago, 2019). Another tale involves the intermediary named&lt;br&gt;Panganoron who is said to have settled a dispute between the two tribes Tag-Anito and Tag-&lt;br&gt;Maktang in Poro Island (Costas, 1997; Santiago, 2022). Further, I seek to demonstrate that the&lt;br&gt;specific experiences associated with island life in the Central Philippines are encoded in these&lt;br&gt;two selected folk narratives. The distinctiveness of Southeast Asian island experiences&lt;br&gt;(Andaya, 2006) may also be gleaned from comparing the above case studies with narratives&lt;br&gt;from other sites which have a similar character, such as the island of Jandayan, Bohol where&lt;br&gt;entities called agta inhabit the mangrove forests (Guieb, 2017) and the island of Cuyo, in&lt;br&gt;Palawan where a place called napuro in the local language is said to be inhabited by similar&lt;br&gt;supernatural entities (Lee, 2021, 2022).
