ANCIENT GODS OF THE PHILIPPINES📝
Before the cross. Before the colonizers. Before anyone told Filipinos what to believe, our ancestors already had gods of their own.
Most Filipinos grew up learning about Zeus, Poseidon, and the gods of Olympus. But very few were ever taught that the Philippines had its own pantheon, its own supreme creator, its own god of death, and its own goddess of the moon.
These were not superstitions. These were the beliefs of an entire civilization that existed long before colonization. Our ancestors prayed to these gods, named their children after them, and built their understanding of the world around them.
This post introduces the ancient gods of the Philippines and the beliefs behind them, so you can see how deep and complex our culture already was even before colonization.
