Pahulangkug


Pahulangkug



The god of the seasons is depicted as a man ripe in manhood, hardworking but very temperemental. He dwells in the skies (some believe it is a silver city Ibabawnun)  alongside Ribung Linti. The Hiligaynon and the Visayans believed that the god resposible for the changing of seasons is Pahulangkug, believed to work hard in making clouds, releasing winds and bringing rain. Some believe he is some sort of wind deity that accompanies the winds and other gods on their journey all over the land bringing rain, wind, and storms all over the island, for ancient Panay natives who crossed over to Negros and have adopted some of their religious beliefs, including their gods, they believe Pahulangkug also accompanies their Supreme god and also the harvest goddess Lalahon some believe he serves under her in her journey of ripening rice and other crops, bringing warm weather to the land during the dry season and keeping the storm clouds at bay. One could say, that Pahulangkug is the director of both the dry and the rainy season, and without his guidance and permission, a season cannot begin.
