List of Philippine mythological figures

The following is a list of gods, goddesses, deities, and many other divine, semi-divine, and important figures from classical Philippine mythology and indigenous Philippine folk religions collectively referred to as Diwatas whose expansive stories span from a hundred years ago to presumably thousands of years from modern times.

The term Bathala eventually replaced "Diwata" as the primary word for "gods" and came to mean any supernatural being worshipped for controlling aspects of life or nature.

These spirits can range from guardians of objects, plants, or animals to deities representing natural forces, abstract concepts, or even gods in a pantheon.

Mythology is a collection of stories that explain the origins of the world, natural phenomena, and the actions of gods, spirits, and heroes.

Folk religion, on the other hand, encompasses the spiritual practices, rituals, moral systems, and theology rooted in those beliefs[19].

Despite centuries of colonization, the stories of deities, spirits, and heroes remain integral to Filipino culture, showcasing the distinction between the mythological narratives and the spiritual practices tied to them.
