In everyday life to special occasions, there was paganito or pagdidiwata- primarily reverence & rituals of especially the older generations & indigenous communities to honor ancestors and deities such as nature spirits. Over time depending on who shared the stories & their intentions of controlling beliefs & communities, ancestor reverence and the ancient deities, diwatas & anitos become demonized and reduced to negative connotations of things "pagan, " "savage," "evil" or of "the devil." The diwatas & ancestor anitos were replaced / hidden with worshiping saints, Virgin marys and one god. Honoring our deceased ancestors & paying respects to spirit continue today with practices such as Araw ng Patay, Undas, Kalag Kalag & more. Check out the art offerings Halikha 2022 Araw ng Patay: Siklab ng Diwa Virtual Exhibition opening midnight Nov 1st.
