The Origin of This World (Maranao)

from the Anthology of Philippine Myths by Damiana L. Eugenio

1 According 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.

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. 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
princessnymph with whom he had a child.

3 The 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.

4 Heaven 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.

5 It is 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.

6 The 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. 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.
