Bicol Superstitious Beliefs.

Our report about superstitious beliefs has give me a lot of realizations.

Superstitious beliefs had imparted the lives of every bicolano in almost all aspect of their day to day
living. They have superstitious beliefs in wedding, pregnancy, death, luck, to elders or youngsters,
family, spirit, burial, health, mytical creature, and deities. Indeed superstitious beliefs of Bicolanos are
broad because they have it in allmost all occuring events, here it implies that superstitious beliefs do has
a significance in the lives of bicolanos, however there are some differences in some beliefs for example,
in the category of wedding; here it indicates that whenever a woman is still eating, it is not a advisable
to pile the dishes because that woman will have more than one husband." this belief is not align in
some places of Bicol because in other places, if a woman is still eating and they pile the dishes
particularly that woman will not get married; here it implies that not all are exactly the same of beliefs
on particular areas of bicol maybe some external factors influences this differences, however in the
example given the beliefs are both simply wants to imply that it is not good to compile dishes whenever
someone is eating.

Superstitious beliefs has been part of bicolano's culture. These beliefs was passed on us by our
ancestors. Superstitious belief are one of the alternative way of our ancestors to give explanation on a
phenomenon or in ordinary events. However because of the advancement in the technology and
science provided a scientific explanation which is more convincing, these beliefs are slowly fading and
slowly forgotten by the present bicolanos, these implies that we should address these issues, we should
still recognize these beliefs as it reflects our respect to our ancestors and as it reflects the lives of
bicolanos.
