National Heritage Month 2020 – Cosmology of the Mangyans of Mindanao

May 18, 2020

The Hanunoo Mangyan’s universe is known as sinukuban (dominion) or kalibutan (all that surrounds). All existence, visible and invisible, is embraced in this concept. The universe has an ellipsoidal shape like a coconut, composed of plural strata (‘oklot) and between one stratum and another is the pawa’ (interval space).

This is just a part of the concept of cosmology of the Mangyans in Mindoro. Know more about their stories of the earth and the universe.
