1. Philippine mythology and folklore include a collection of tales and superstitions about magical creatures and entities. Some Filipinos, even though heavily westernized and Christianized, still believe in such entities. The prevalence of belief in the figures of Philippines 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).2. Animism, is the term used to describe the indigenous spiritual traditions practiced in the Philippines during pre-colonial times. Today, a handful of the indigenous tribes continue to practice it. The traditions are a collection of beliefs and cultural mores anchored more or less in the idea that the world is inhabited by spirits and supernatural entities, both good and bad, and that respect be accorded to them through nature worship. These spirits all around nature are known as "diwatas", showing cultural relationship with Hinduism (Devatas). Some worship specific deities, such as the Tagalog supreme deity, Bathala, and his children Adlaw, Mayari, and Tala, or the Visayan deity Kan-Laon; while others practice Ancestor worship (anitos). Variations of animistic practices occur in different ethnic groups. Magic, chants and prayers are often key features. Its practitioners were highly respected[3] (and some feared) in the community, as they were healers, midwives (hilot), shamans, witches and warlocks (mangkukulam), priests/priestesses (babaylan/katalonan), tribal historians and wizened elders that provided the spiritual and traditional life of the community. In the Visayan regions, there is a belief in the existence of witchcraft or barang and mythical creatures such as the "aswang", "balay sa dwendi" and "Bakonawa", despite the existence of the Christian and Islamic faiths.In general, the spiritual and economic leadership in many pre-colonial Filipino ethnic groups was provided by women, as opposed to the political and military leadership according to men.[citation needed] Spanish occupiers during the 16th century arrived in the Philippines noting about warrior priestesses leading tribal spiritual affairs. Many were condemned as pagan heretics. Although suppressed, these matriarchal tendencies run deep in Filipino society and can still be seen in the strong leadership roles modern Filipino women are assuming in business, politics, academia, the arts and in religious institutions.Folk religion remains a deep source of comfort, belief and cultural pride among many Filipinos.[citation needed] Nominally animists constitute about one percent of the population. But animism's influence pervade daily life and practice of the colonial religions that took root in the Philippines. Elements of folk belief melded with Christian and Islamic practices to give a unique perspective on these religions.3.nowadays, fables are important for us to know what is the importance of beliefs and tradition of the ancients filipinos to look forward there lifestyle in the early times.

Michael John Gascon BSMx 1-21.) In accordance to the Philippine folklore on how ancient Filipinos view the world, they viewed it as a world created by gods and godesses. Its pretty funny to think that there were no writings about the early filipinos who viewed the world as what the famous theories proposed (e.g. Big Bang Theory) so this literally means that knowledge is less during those times and folklores were basis on their belief. Folklores played an important part during those times and affects the daily living on ancient filipinos like they have to offer something to a certain god. so everything they do is in accordance to folklores.Example:How the First Head Was Taken by the igorot tribe.2.) If the belief will be based in this modern time, influence of Philippine folklores on our religious belief and practices is literally fading. For me, believing on someone or something means losing trust to yourself. The man's mind is the greatest instrument that God has created, for the human mind is capable of doing anything. Back to the question, i agree that folklores struck a great influence during early times on Filipino's belief because Filipino's are God-Fearing kind of people. we are afraid to go againts the rules set or said by certain books (e.g Bible) for each action has each consequence based on the bible. Faithful and God-fearing. The Bible has a great influence on Filipino's belief and practices.Example: Roman Bible3.) Fables played a great part on Filipinos. You cant describe Philippines without stating fables, for fables are very famous among us. Fables in Philippine folklore has its great significance. For fables were short stories which gives moral values. Most fables were unveiled to children so that it'll impart moral values to them, teaches them as they grow up and to be wise. In my observation, morals of fables is the same as the morals of the bible.Example: Si Langgam at si Tipaklong
