Anthropological Exploration of the Philippines

       Our ancestors’ communities were much different than ours. They didn’t have any Wi-Fi or phones. Instead, they hunted for food using spears, bows and arrows, fished using harpoons and not fishing rods, and made their clothes from a wooden loom. Their daily routine also included wood carving, pottery, and farming. Way back before Christianity was introduced, the early Filipinos worshipped their own deities, such as the Bulul, which was seen as a protector of rice.

 And lastly, whenever someone died, the people did not use coffins the way we use them today. What they utilized were large jars with corpses put in fetal positions. Some still used coffins, but they were too small for the dead. More traditions included the use of death masks, which were made out of gold.
