    The document discusses the religious customs of the Tagalog people in the Philippines before the arrival of Spanish colonizers. The Tagalogs believed in a supreme deity called Bathala and lesser deities called anito that had specific functions. They worshipped idols called likha and had various types of priests for different ethnic groups. Some key customs included festivals, worship ceremonies called nagaanitos, and superstitious beliefs in supernatural creatures. The document also examines how Spanish missionaries introduced Catholicism in the 1500s and it became the dominant religion, partly due to the fear of the native Filipinos of being destroyed if they did not convert.

    Cultural anthropologists and historians are in the agreement that the indigenous Filipinos had a traditional
    religion before the Spanish expedition reached SamarIsland, Philippines on 17 March 1521. How did the Catholic
    religion become rootd in the Philippines and prosper when the pre-Hispanic Filipinos already had an indigenous
    religion, Why and how did the majority of Filipinos come to accept the Catholic religion as an alternative to their
    indigenous religious beliefs?
    OPENING UP A PATHWAY TO THE DOMESTICATION OF CHRISTIANITY IN
    THE PHILIPPINES

    Ferdinand Magellan plays an important role on contribution to the history of Philippines religion which offers a
    services to King Carlos of Spain and promised to attain catholic goals and help Spain achieve hegemony over the known
    world. He sailed westward and after perilous years at sea reached the Islas Los Ladrones(Mariana Islands). Surviving one
    shipwreck and a mutiny, they reached Homonhon Island ( Samar ) on March 17, 1521. Magellan and his crew sailed on to
    an island port in the Philippines called Mazzaua and celebrated first mass. The kinglet of Zzubu and around 800 natives
    received the sacrament of baptism. As a gift from the Spaniards, they gave a Santo Nino and a statue of Virgin with the
    Christ Child. Natives Filipinos of Cebu were baptized, including those neighboring islands.
    Nobody can ever know the inner workings of God’s grace but one cannot help but wonder why the native Filipinos
    of Cebu accepted the Christian religion of Spaniards. The fear and greed moved the native Filipinos to accept the Catholic
    faith. The Filipino natives were afraid that they would all be destroyed when they refused the faith of visitors.
