Like in any other country, Filipinos subscribe to their own set of superstitions or pamahiin inherited from ancestors. Now there are hundreds, probably thousands, of superstitious beliefs out there, and these are only some of the more popular ones Filipinos grew up hearing – and believing.

1 When a woman sings while cooking, she will end up a spinster. Yes, this sounds funny and highly improbable, but this superstitious belief actually had a pretty strong hold on women, especially during the Spanish era. Mothers usually remind their grown up daughters not to sing while cooking meals, otherwise they won’t be able to marry. sound ridiculous well get ready for the next belief

2 Bringing home food served at a wake or a funeral will bring bad luck. There are superstitions aplenty involving the dead – the dearly departed whose souls/spirits are said to still be roaming around for 40 days after death. Therefore, hoarding food served at a wake and bringing them home is tantamount to inviting bad luck into your own home

 Sweeping the floor at night will bring you bad luck. Why? Because it means sweeping away wealth in the house, as well as, causing the centipedes crawling on the ceiling to fall down and swarm on you.

It’s sound so funny and ridiculous but nothing to lose if we follow the important is we do our part as a person. when you do not want to follow well respect for those who belief
