    Philippine mythology- include a collection of tales and superstitions about magical creatures and entities.

    Many Filipinos, even though heavily Christianized, still believe in these tales. The prevalence of belief in the
    figures of Filipino mythology is strong in the provinces.
    Because the country has many islands and is inhabited by different ethnic groups, Philippine mythology
    and superstitions are very diverse. However, certain similarities exist among these groups, such as the
    belief in Heaven (kaluwalhatian, kalangitan, kamurawayan), Hell (impiyerno, kasamaan), and the human soul
    (kaluluwa).
    The stories of ancient Philippine mythology include deities, creation stories, mythical creatures, and beliefs.
    Ancient Philippine mythology varies among the many indigenous tribes of the Philippines. Some groups
    during the pre-Spanish conquest era believed in a single Supreme Being who created the world and
    everything in it, while others chose to worship a multitude of tree and forest deities (diwatas). Diwatas came
    from the Sanskrit word devata which means "deity", one of the several significant Hindu influences in the
    Pre-Hispanic religion of the ancient Filipinos.

    Si Malakas at si Maganda
    Si Malakas, Si Maganda, At Ang Pagdami Ng Tao NANGYARI naman na mag-asawa
    nuon ang hangin dagat at ang hangin lupa, at may anak sila, sikawayan. Isang araw,
    lumulutang si kawayan sa tabi ng dagat nang nabangga niya ang paa ng lawin.
    Nagulat, nasaktan at nagalit, pinagtutuka ng lawin ang kawayan hanggang nabiyak
    ito. Kaginsa-ginsa,lumitaw sa isang piraso ang isang lalaki, si Malakas. Sa kabilang
    bahagi, lumabas naman ang isang babae,si Maganda. Sila ang 2 Unang Tao sa
    daigdig.IPINATAWAG naman ng lindol ang lahat ng ibon at isda upang pag-usapan
    kung ano ang dapat gawin sa2 tao. Ipinasiya nila na dapat mag-asawa sina Malakas at
    Maganda. Nangyari nga ito at marami silangnaging mga anak, na pinagmulan ng ibat
    ibang tao sa daigdig ngayon.Pagtagal, nayamot ang mag-asawang Malakas at

    Maganda sa dami ng kanilang mga tamad at walang- pakinabang na mga anak. Nais
    nilang palayasin lahat subalit hindi nila alam kung saan itatapon ang mgaito kaya
    nagtiyaga na lamang ang mag-asawa.Dumami pa uli nang dumami ang mga anak sa
    paglipas ng panahon at nangyari na hindi na nakaranas ngtahimik sina Malakas at
    Maganda.Isang araw, hindi na nakatiis si Malakas at, dampot ang isang bakawan,
    pinagha-hataw ang mga bata.Takbuhan sa takot ang mga anak at nagtago sa ibat
    ibang lugar. Ang iba ang nagtago sa mga silid ng bahay, ang iba ay sumingit sa mga
    dingding. Ang iba ay nagkubli sa mga kalan sa cocina. Ang ibang anak ay tumakas sa
    labas, habang ilan ay tuluyang lumayas sa dagat.Sa ganitong paraan, nagka-iba-iba
    ang mga tao na kumalat sa daigdig. Ang mga nagtago sa mga silid angnaging mga
    pinuno sa mga pulo. Ang mga sumingit sa dingding ang naging mga alipin. Ang
    mganagkubli sa mga kalan ay naging mga negro. Ang mga tumakas sa labas ang
    naging mga malaya.Pagkaraan ng maraming taon, ang mga anak ng lumayas sa dagat
    ay bumalik, at sila ay mga maputingtao, ang mga dayuhan.

    Philippine epics are lengthy narrative poems based on oral tradition. The verses were chanted
    or sung while being passed from generation to generation before being written on paper. The
    plots of their stories revolve around supernatural events and heroic deeds.With the diversity of
    ethnic groups in the Philippines, Filipino epics are not national in scope the way the Kaleva is in
    Finland, for example. Instead of glorifying national heroes, Philippine epics are specific to a
    particular part of the country, and thus they are referred to as ethno-epics or regional epics. In
    fact, the epic poems of the Philippines are in many different languages, not just the currently
    dominant Tagalog.
