Bakunawa | Giant Sea Serpent

Written By Mr. Herbs on 19 June, 2013 | June 19, 2013

 


The Bakunawa is a serpent-like dragon in Philippine mythology. It is believed to be the cause of eclipses, earthquakes, rain and wind. It was generally believed to be a sea serpent but are also variously believed to inhabit either the sky or the underworld. It's name means 'bent snake' in english from the word baku meaning 'bent' or 'curved' and nawa meaning 'large snake' or 'python'. It is mostly believed in the Cebuano Mythology.

In other stories, we have seven (7) moons a long time ago. But it was eaten by Bakunawa until only one is left. To protect the last moon, Bathala ordered  the people to make noise using pots and pans to frighten the giant serpent.
