[edit]The myth reminds me of the Sumerian myths and epics. That the living gods chose mortals as partners and beget children. This is also in the bible- very similar. Another question arises, why is the Filipino language similar to the Sumerian language which many scholars say is now a dead language? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.101.217.90 (talk) 20:19, 11 October 2004 (UTC)
- Wow! Is it similar? I didn't know. I 'm interested in this. Chris S(another filipino wikipedian) is a linguist and would be interested. There seems to be similar words in Nahuatle too like father in Tagalog is Tatay and in nahuatl tatle, mother is nanay->nantle, etc..Got to investigate Sumerian.--Jondel 23:21, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
i removed the "Legend of the 3 Races" because its a northern luzon folk tale, which is more associated with Kabunian (not Bathala). i replaced it with the actual story (Malakas at Maganda), but i couldn't find the tagalog version, so i based it on the visayan version instead with a little few changes. they're both similar anyways. i also edited some of the facts. --Capt_crunch — Preceding undated comment added 19:05, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
a comical version some would use is "Bahala na si Batman!" <--- I wonder, is this addendum really necessary? I don't think it adds much to the exposition, and I have a feeling it's actually very very dated. Alternativity 14:38, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Kasanaan
[edit]Hi. I wasn't the one who created the entry on where Bakonawa lives, but the section gave me the impression that Kasanaan meant Underworld. SOmeone has since changed Kasanaan to Kasamaan, which means "Evil", not "Underworld." I'm not really that good at deep Tagalog. Anybody care to comment?Alternativity (talk) 20:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
source for photo?
[edit]like what century it was made, what region, etc. it'll help the article, but i'm also really curious. 75.45.188.144 (talk) 01:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
"those from Manila to the South"
[edit]In the third paragraph of the Mentions during Spanish colonial era section, there is a sentence that says the term Bathala was only used among "those from Manila to the South." The south of where, though? Can someone specify where this location is, please? Manong Kimi (talk) 19:14, 13 March 2022 (UTC) Manong Kimi
