By: Natalia Escaño, Andie Padilla, Meg Prado, Ava Uy
Bathala
Bathala is highest-ranking god of the ancient Tagalog people. he is also known as Maykapal or Abba. Asides from this, he is the creator of all things and rules over the lesser gods that take care of the people. He is compassionate, but he is equally unforgiving in his punishment to sinners.
Dumangan
Dumangan is the Tagalog sky-god of good harvest. He is he husband of Idianale and father to Dumakulem and Anitun Tabu. In Zambales culture, Dumangan (or Dumagan) caused the rice to yield better grains. the early people of Zambales also believed Dumangan had three brothers who were just as powerful as him.
Mapulon
Mapulon is the god of seasons. F. Landa Jocano, in the book “Outline of Philippine Mythology,” described Mapulon as one of the lesser divinities assisting Bathala. Not much is known about this deity, aside from the fact that he married Ikapati/Lakapati, the fertility goddess, and sired Anagolay, the goddess of lost things.
Dumakulem
Dumakulem is the son of Idianale and Dumangan, and brother of wind goddess Anitun Tabu. The ancient Tagalogs revered him as the guardian of the mountains. He is often depicted as a strong and skillful hunter. This Tagalog sky-god later tied the knot with another major deity, Anagolay, known as the goddess of lost things. The marriage produced two children: Apolaki, the sun god, and Dian Masalanta, the goddess of lovers.
