The Tagbanua Gods



The Tagbanua believe in their native gods. There were four major gods.

The first deity was Mangindusa or Nagabacaban- lord of the heavens.
Poco/Polo was the god of the sea and deemed a benevolent spirit.
Sedumunadoc was the god the earth whose favor was sought in order to have a good harvest.
The fourth god was called Tabiacoud who lived in the deep bowels of the earth.
