God’s influence and contribution to the daily lives of the people of Earth realm. Each god possesses a set of unique talents and abilities that theyve had ever since they were born. Gods like Mayari, have the ability to control the moon, Helios was blessed with the ability to control the sun, and Gods like Poseidon and Haik were blessed with the ability to control the tides of the oceans and the seas. Mayari, the daughter of Bathala and the Goddess of Combat, War, Revolution, Hunt, Weaponry, Beauty, Strength, Moon, and Night lives in the southern part of the Philippines, in Mt. Pinatubo. She is the defender of the moon, and the moon serves as her emblem. She defends the moon from Laho (the moon eater). She would confront Laho whenever the monster tries to eat the moon. Helios is the opposite of Mayari for he is considered to be the god of the sun. Helios is known for
pulling the sun across the sky with his golden chariot. Unfortunately, with the disappearance of the sun god Ra, the Sun weakened, and subsequently, he was weakened as well. Haik and Poseidon both have the power to control bodies of water and communicate with the sea creatures. However, Poseidon is one of the supreme gods of Mount Olympus. He wields a powerful trident, hes able to control Zeuss lightning bolts, he can create a flood, start droughts, and unleash tsunamis making him significantly more powerful than Haik. Haik is a very kind god compared to Poseidon, he helps voyagers and other travelers pass by the evil elements that roam the seas such as stormy weather and powerful waves. Even with his natural kindness, hes not welcome in Kaluwalhatian, the resting place of the Filipino gods. This is because of his rivalry with Amanikable, the purveyor of troubled water.
