Description
In Philippine mythology, Tala is one of the three daughters of Bathala (the supreme god in Philippine myth) to a mortal woman. Her sisters include Mayari, the goddess of the moon and Hanan, the goddess of dawn. She is known to have supported the creation of the Tagalog traditional constellations.
Tala carries glowing spheres or orbs to ferry men to safety at night. However, when the Spaniards came, they demonized the light orbs and called it santelmos in a bid to convert the natives into Christianity. The natives eventually regarded the orbs as deadly beings that kill men or get humans to lose their way.
