This book is a collection of the various Philippine deities, pantheons, myths and tales of wonder grouped under a few large headings and strung together with a minimum of unobtrusive commentary by an outstanding Filipino scholar, Dr. F. Landa Jocano. This book is designed as an introduction to give a general understanding of this expansive and often confusing topic. The stories are drawn both from previously published materials and from Dr. Jocano's own field research.
