Filipino Folk Religion

Filipino Folk Religion encompasses the traditional spiritual beliefs and practices of Filipino communities, often blending indigenous animism, ancestor worship, and Catholic influences. It involves rituals to honor spirits, healing practices, and beliefs in supernatural beings like spirits (engkantos) and deities. These practices are deeply woven into daily life, emphasizing respect for nature, ancestors, and community. While many Filipinos are Catholic, these folk traditions coexist, shaping a unique spiritual landscape that reflects the country's history and cultural identity.
