Philippine mythology is rooted in the many indigenous Philippine folk religions. Philippine mythology exhibits influence from Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, and Christian traditions.

Philippine mythology includes concepts akin to those in other belief systems, such as the notions of heaven (kaluwalhatian, kalangitan, kamurawayan), hell (kasamaan, sulad), and the human soul (kaluluwa, kaulolan, makatu, ginoand kud,...).

The primary use of Philippine mythology is to explain the nature of the world, human existence, and life's mysteries. Myths include narratives of heroes, deities (anito, Diwata), and mythological creatures. These myths were transmitted through oral tradition, handed down through generations guided by spiritual leaders or shamans, (babaylan, katalonan, mumbaki, baglan, machanitu, walian, mangubat, bahasa,...), and community elders.

Religion and mythology are different but connected. Both involve important ideas about the supernatural or sacred for a community.[1] The term mythology usually refers either to a system of myths or to the study of myths[2] Religion is a belief concerning the supernatural, sacred, or divine, and the moral codes, practices, values, and institutions associated with such belief.[2][3] If a myth is separated from its religious context, it may lose its sacred meaning and become just a legend or folktale[4]

Myths presents ideas that over time change and evolve,[5]Myths change over time. This is a most important thing. Myth, an organism, are formed by discreet units which evolve with time. Most species are myth diverged geographically[6]
