Isang aklat na maputi, ang isinulat: Luha!
Kaya wala kang mabasa kahit isa mang talata;
Kinabisa at inisip mulang ating pagkabata;
Tumanda ka't nagkauban, hindi mo pa maunawa.
Ang Pag-ibig, isipin mo, pag inisip, nasa-puso!
Pag pinuso, nasa-isip, kaya't hindi mo makuro.
Lapitan mo nang matagal ang pagsuyo'y naglalaho; [...]

Kalapating puti sa gitna ng hardin,
Iginawa kita ng bahay na siím;
May dalawang latang palay at inumin,
Saka walong pinto sa apat na dingding.
Minsan kang nagutom at ako’y nalingat, [...]

Huwag nang sabihing ang tang̃ing Julieta

huwag nang banggitin ang isang Ofelia’t

Filtering

From the pinned dump: MediaWiki XML parse (ns 0) -> wikitext stripping (interwiki links, Kategoriya:/Kategorya: category lines, Talaksan:/ Larawan: file links and galleries, templates) -> layout-line removal (drop_layout_lines: bullet/punctuation-only lines, 1/2 page fractions, pahina N/p. N page markers, interwiki-marker lines) -> whitespace normalization -> labelled-only PII redaction (e-mail, labelled phone, labelled IP "IP address"/"adresi", labelled national identifiers PhilSys/PhilID/TIN/ SSS/GSIS, PH account candidates: 0 matches across the corpus) -> langid == tl on the first 1,000 characters -> exact + near dedup (sha256 of normalized text; Jaccard >= 0.90 on capped 25 x 5-word shingle sketches) -> cross-document boilerplate via 2^26 hash bins with df > 1%.

Rejections (sum exactly to 53; one decision per page in artifacts/decisions.jsonl): 32 too short (min 200 chars - poems and short works live on single pages) / 21 non-Filipino.

Known limitations

• Small curated corpus (183 records); whole-page records (multi-work pages are kept whole).
• created = revision timestamp of the Wikisource proofreading, not the work's publication date.
• Historical orthography (ng̃, diacritics) is preserved verbatim - tokenize accordingly.
• Per-work public-domain verification (author death + 70) is a review item before release.

See artifacts/ for attribution, per-record decisions, QA counts, samples and checksums. verify() passes (183 texts reconstructed, token counts and hashes recomputed); tests 9/9.
