Tagalog religion

Tagalog religion mainly consists of Tagalog Austronesian religious elements, supplemented with other elements later obtained from Hinduism, Mahayana Buddhism, and Islam. It was contemporaneously referred to by Spanish priests as tagalismo (i.e., "Tagalism").

Many Tagalog religious rites and beliefs persist today as Tagalog Philippine syncretisms on Christianity and Islam. Tagalog religion was well documented by Spanish Catholic missionaries, mostly in epistolary accounts (relaciones) and entries in various dictionaries compiled by missionary priests.
