My Folktober drawing for today is the Philippine diwata, or faery, Maria Makiling. Historically referred to as Dayang Masalanta, Maria Makiling is the guardian spirit of Mt. Makiling. She is regarded as protector of the mountain and its people, and is called upon to stop earthquakes, storms, and flooding.

in philippines, it is believed that there is a forest nymph who is the guardian spirit of the mountain - and a benefactor of the townspeople who depend upon the mountain’s resources. people claim that the mount makiling in philippines is itself shaped like the spirit - her face and two breasts being discernible in its various peaks.
