For those interested in "Philippine Supernatural Creatures" this book is for you. I am always fascinated about the Creatures of Philippine Mythology, to know their origins and where they came from and how they were integrated into early animist beliefs.

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-

This is not a boring book, believe me. Plus, one chapter takes like what, a minute? As of now, this is a collection of myths, legends, and folklore about the pantheon from the ancient Tagalogs. From Bathala to Sitan and most deities I can find in between. Unlike some popular myths, *ahem ahem Greek ahem* they have a collection of these myths that are easily accessible (I'm looking at the Theogony). The Philippines is, well, absolutely the opposite. There are a lot of different and sometimes contradicting versions of one lore. Confusing isn't it? Don't blame me if you know a different version. Anyways, I really don't recommend this for thesis or other serious researches, as I am an unreliable source of information. This is for entertainment purposes only. (Maybe a bit of information but don't blame me if it's wrong)
