The name "Bukidnon" means highlander or mountain dweller. Bukidnon is considered to be the food basket of Mindanao. It is the major producer of rice and corn in the region. Plantations in the province also produce pineapples, bananas and sugarcane. Bukidnon is the home of Mount Dulang-dulang, the 2nd highest mountain in the Philippines with an elevation of 2,938 m located in Kitanglad Mountain Range. Mount Kitanglad(2,899m.), Mount Kalatungan (2,860m.), Mt. Maagnaw (2,742m.), Mt. Lumuluyaw (2,612m.) and Mt.

Tribes
The tribes of Bukidnon believe that there is only one god who rules mankind, Magbabaya. Much like Greek mythology, Magbabaya is joined by other minor Gods and Goddesses who help fulfill his duties and responsibilities. Oftentimes you will see farmers of this province praying to Ibabasok, the god of agriculture, to watch over their crops and give them a bountiful harvest.

The locals of Bukidnon are really fond of singing and merry making. The tribes of Bukidnon believe that their singing prowess is a gift from the deity Dagingon. They even celebrate nine nights of dances and song during harvest to show their heartfelt gratitude for all the blessing they receive.

    The religions of the Ancient Near East were mostly polytheistic. In Ancient Mesopotamia, the facts of nature were attributed to the workings of divine forces. Thus, there were many gods and goddesses. The forces of Taimat and Abzu created the four gods. The highest of the four gods was An, the sky god, the over-arching bowl of heaven. Next came Enlil, who could either produce raging storms or act to help man. Nin-khursag was the earth goddess. The fourth god was Enki, the water god and the patron of wisdom. These Mesopotamian gods did not act alone, but consulted with an assembly of 50 gods, wich is called the Annunaki. Innumerable spirits and demons shared the world with the Annunaki. The gods bound people together in their social groups and were believed to have provided what they needed to survive. The Sumerians developed stories and festivals to explain and harness help for their physical environment. Once a year came the new year and with it, the Sumerians thought the gods decided what would happen to mankind for the coming year. Otherwise, the gods and goddesses were more concerned with their own feasting, drinking, fighting, and arguing. They could be prevailed upon to help on occasion if ceremonies were performed to their liking. The priests were responsible for the sacrifices and rituals that were essential for the help of the gods. In addition, property belonged to the gods, so priests administered it. This made the priests valuable and important figures in their communities.…

    If you control the sky, you control the world. Polytheistic religions have a supreme deity, usually seen as someone with all the power. In Greek mythology, that supremacy belongs to only one god, Zeus. Some Greeks believed that Zeus was the one true god and that natures worst catastrophes were a sign of his fury. While he has flaws, Zeus is a supreme being because he was the thunder god and then when he was braved, he rose to power and fought to become the Father of Gods and men.…
