Philippine mythology is the body of myths, tales, and superstitions held by Filipinos, mostly originating from beliefs held during the pre-Hispanic era. Some of these beliefs stem from pre-Christian religion that was specially influenced by the Hinduism and were regarded by the Spanish as "myth" and "superstition" in an effort to de-legitimize precolonial faith by replacing those native beliefs with colonial Catholic Christian myths and superstitions. Today, some of these precolonial beliefs are still held by Filipinos, especially in the provinces. Filipino myth is incorporated from various sources, having similarities with Indonesian and Malay myths, as well as Christian traditions, such as the notion of Heaven (kaluwalhatian, kalangitan, kamurawayan), Hell (impiyerno, kasamaan), and the human soul (kaluluwa). Filipino mythology attempts to explain the nature of the world through the lives and actions of gods, goddesses, heroes, and mythological creatures. A majority of these myths were passed on through oral tradition. - This Book contains : - the creation myth - list of deities - list of creatures - the story of Lapu-Lapu - 2018 -Completed-

Almost dying can change a person. For most it pushes them to live life to the fullest; for Ryan, it lets him hear voices and see ghosts. After a fatal car crash, Ryan Hubbard wakes up hearing a voice in his head that isn't his own. It wants him to find something--someone. As if that isn't the worst of his problems, he can see ghosts too. Naturally, he tries telling people about his new abilities. And just as naturally, no one believes him. When Ryan gets dared to go into a supposedly haunted house, he almost refuses. But curiosity gets the best of him when something inside him (specifically, the voice) tells him to go. He wasn't exactly hoping to find anything inside-least of all the diary of a dead little girl and the sudden urge to find her killer. With the help of his friend Lya and the voice that refuses to leave him, Ryan is set to unravel the mysteries and unlock the secrets of the little child's past. • • • A paranormal mystery that takes place mostly in the present and sometimes in the 1960s. • • • This work mentions suicide, contains mildly violent, and/or traumatic content.
