Philippines

    Philippines is a beautiful archipelago, comprising over 7000 islands; full of lush, tropical forests, white sand beaches and coral reefs. Through ancient times, waves of different people have settled on the islands, bringing their culture with them. 
The earliest settlers of Philippines, the Melanesian and Austronesian people, traded extensively with China, Japan, India, and the Middle East, hence, you will find that the legends from these places have blended into the traditional lore. In the 16th and 17th century, it was governed by the Spanish, from Spain and Mexico, so you will also find Spanish and Hispanic influences. Thus, the Philippine culture is truly a potpourri of different groups, who brought with them a rich treasure-trove of myths and legends.
