Filipino Fairy Tales, Mythology and Folklore - Episode 61 - Bathala, Bathalismo and the Infinite God

Episode Description from the Publisher

I am back with a new podcast season! In my first episode of the new season, let's uncover the ancient tale of Infinito Dios, the Infinite God. Bathala is the supreme deity in Tagalog mythology, but he was turned into 'God' when the Spanish came. One story that has endured is the story behind the Bathalismo, the Infinite God, who refused to be baptized.  Please read 'Back from the Crocodile's Belly'. The essay I reference is: "Bathala is Anting-Anting or why Bathala Hides inside the Stone by Nenita Pambid Domingo".
