What’s more
Lesson 2. This selection describes the Maranaw’s belief on how the world
was created. Get a watch or a timer. Read the selection for five minutes
and note down important details about the Maranaw’s belief of creation. On
a separate sheet, answer the questions that follow.
The Origin of the World (Maranaw)

Read this for five minutes
1According to the Maranaw folklore, this world was created

by great Being. It is not known, however, who exactly is this great
Being. Or how many days it took him to create this world.
2
This 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.
3 Thesecond 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.
4 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.
Have you
seen
dwarfs?
Nymphs?
How are the

dwarfs being
described in
the third
paragraph?
12
5The sky also consists of seven layers. Each layer
has a door which is guarded day and night by huge
mythical birds called Garoda.
6
The seventh layer of the sky is the seat of
heaven which is also divided into seven layers.
7
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.
8 Heaven, which is found on the seventh layer of
the sky, is where good people’s spirits go after death.
9Saints are assigned to the seventh layer of the
sky while persons who--- barely made it are confined to
the lowermost layer which is found at the bottom of
heaven.
10 It is 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.
11The soul 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.
12 Walo, in addition to his thousand eyes, has also

eight hairy heads. The epic Darangan speaks of Madale,
Bantugan’s brother and, Mabaning, husband of Lawanen,
entering this section and retrieving the soul of Bantugan.
Do you find the

story interesting?
