    The document discusses the worship practices of the pre-Hispanic Tagalog people in the Philippines. It states that the Tagalogs believed in an invisible spirit world inhabited by dead ancestors, deities, and lesser gods. They honored these spirits through rituals and festivals, as the spirits were thought to influence all aspects of life from birth to death. While some spirits were seen as friendly, others were viewed as enemies. The document then notes that today's Filipino worship practices differ from these traditional beliefs, as Christianity introduced by Spanish colonizers replaced the earlier spirit worship with veneration of Jesus Christ.

    Module 5 Customs of the Tagalogs Assessment

    Look back on the practices of worship of the Tagalogs.

    “Aside from their own social structure, they believed in an invisible society coexisting with their own.
    This society, they believed, was inhabited by spirits that included dead ancestors, deities, and lesser
    gods. Pre-Hispanic Filipinos honored these spirits with rituals and feast days because these
    supernatural beings were considered able to preside over the whole gamut of life, including birth,
    sickness, death, courtship, marriage, planting, harvesting, and death. Some of these spirits were
    considered friendly; others were viewed as tyrannical enemies.” Source: Wikipedia

    Are these worship practices similar to existing worship practices nowadays?


    Why?

    They are not the same as today. Because unlike before we are Colonized or Christianize by
    Spaniards, we Filipinos worship a Spirit, Wood, Sun (I think) and Some Mythologies, but now that
    we are Christianize by Spaniards, we are Worshiping Our Lord Jesus Christ.
