The Origin of
This World
(Maranao)
from the Anthology
of Philippine
Mythology
 MYTHOLOGY
• (from the Greek 'mythos' for
story-of-the-people, and 'logos'
for word or speech, the spoken
story of a people)
• tell the stories of ancestors and
the origin of humans and the
world, the gods, supernatural
beings (satyrs, nymphs,
mermaids) and heroes with
super-human, usually god-given
powers.

• Mother of
Philippine folklore.

the traditional beliefs,

customs, and stories of a
community, passed through
the generations by word of
mouth.
 1According to
Maranaw folklore,
this world was
created by a great
Being. It is not
known, however,
who exactly is this
great Being. Or how
many days it took
him to create this
world.
 2This world is divided into seven layers. The
earth has also seven layers. Each layer is inhabited
by a different kind of being. The uppermost layer,
for example, is the place we are inhabiting.
The second layer is
being inhabited by
dwarfs. These dwarfs
are short, plump, and
long-haired. They are
locally known as
Karibanga. The
Karibanga are said to
possess magical powers.
They are usually
invisible to the human
eye.
The third layer of the
earth which is found
under the sea or lake is
inhabited by nymphs.
These nymphs also
possess certain magical
powers. It is stated in
the story of Rajah
Indarapatra that he met
and fell in love with the
princess-nymph with
whom he had a child.
 3The sky also
consists of
seven layers.
Each layer has a
door which is
guarded day
and night by
huge mythical
birds called
garoda.
The seventh
layer of the sky
is the seat of
heaven which is
also divided into
seven layers.
Every layer in the sky is
inhabited by angels. Maranaws
believe that angels do not
need food. They all possess
wings with which they fly.
4Heaven which is found on the seventh layer of
the sky is where good people‘s spirits go after
death.
Saints are assigned to the seventh layer while
persons who ―barely made it are confined to the
lower most layer which is found at the bottom of
heaven.
5Itis in heaven where
we find the tree-of-
life. On each leaf of
the tree-of-life is
written the name
of every person
living on earth. As
soon as a leaf
ripens or dries and
falls, the person
whose name it
carries also dies.
6Thesoul of every person is found in
tightly covered jars kept in one section
of heaven.
This particular section of heaven is closely
guarded by a monster with a thousand eyes,
named Walo.
Walo, in addition to
his thousand eyes,
has also eight hairy
heads.
Let’s check!
