Have you been called by the Diwata? Since the Philippines is composed of numerous ethnolinguistic groups, the Diwata are known in many Different names. Last year, July 30, 2022-we started this project of Honoring the Diwata from all over the Philippines so as the Tribes or ethnolinguistic groups that used to call on them before they were converted into Christianity due to the Colonization.

On July 2, 2023 and that will be tomorrow Sunday we are going to Honor the Diwatang Mayari also known as Apung Malyari that is honored by the Sambal Indigenous People of Zambales Province. This online Ritual Gathering will be opened to 4 different time zones and we will gather through Google Meet.

For people in the Philippines this will be available on July 2, 2023 by 9:00 PM and we share our link for people living in London which will be available for them same date but their time will be 2:00 PM.

And for our Brothers and Sisters living in US and Canada, it will be same date for them which is July 2, 2023 for Pacific Time it will be 6:00 PM and for Eastern Time it will be 9:00 PM but for me who will conduct and facilitate in the Philippines it will be already July 3, 2023 and the time here in the Philippines will be 9:00 AM and the link for our Google meet is:

Knowing well our Diwata is much better in group rather than solitary. In this ritual aside from knowing the Diwata and the people that used to call them, we, ourselves will have a personal experience and knowledge of the Diwata by Interacting with the Diwata.

And what I learned recently is that we will easily understand the Diwata if we are on the land where they walk. That is maybe the reason why Muslims who follow Islam speaks Arabic because they could express their faith easily as Islam were Arab Religion. But for us in Luntiang Aghama, we are deeply rooted in the Philippines and we will reach out to you by delivering the messages of the Diwata in English.

So, I hope to see everyone in our RitwAralan in Honor of Diwatang Mayari.
