I often used to visit The Taoist Temple on Adriadico Steet in Ermita. Although it is a much more urban setting in Manila The Taoist temple there shares a similar beauty and artistic design features. It is a sacred place and peacefuĺ which holds special significance to me
I also visit this place and man as a half Chinese this place not only look like your in China but it make you look like your living on Los Angeles or Hollywood because of the amount of houses on the hills and the amount of rich Chinese living there
The pre-colonial filipino back then didn't have an established religion, they believed in animism, a belief that everything in this world has a spirit and that there is no difference between the physical and spiritual world kagaya ng Shinto ng Japan, Some parts of the pre-colonial philippines though especially the southern part like butuan are buddhist...
Bisaya were Vajrayana Buddhists mixed with Animism, the Tagalogs were Muslims mixed with Animism, the reason why there's a lot of Taoist temples in Cebu is because this has been populated by Chinese Hokkien traders even before the Spanish arrival, and when the non Catholic, most Taoist Hokkien Chinese were massacred in Manila (twice) by the Catholic Tagalogs and the Spaniards, the non Catholic Chinese ethnics fled south to where they found refuge among the Cebuanos and other Bisaya people. And since Cebu already had a large Chinese ethnic population it was easier for them to integrate and over time their Taoist tradition was continued from generation to generation until now, this Taoist temple is actually just 1 out of 3 Taoist temples in Cebu, so there's two more this one is just the most famous. The oldest house in the country is in Cebu, it was built by a Chinese mestizo family in the 16th century, that time the Spanish just started invading the Philippines. If you look at the architecture of this house, called the Yap-Sandiego house, it is similar to a lot of other very old houses in Cebu and Bohol, which cannot be seen in Luzon. Collectively in Bisaya we call this style of architecture as TAL architecture, it is not exclusive to ethnic Chinese ethnics since a lot of old non Chinese, Bisaya houses also have this architecture. Tal in Bisaya means very old, prominent or established, native household, so this architecture is not ethnic Chinese but Bisaya in general.
@@kookyyt3957 Bisaya were Vajrayana Buddhists mixed with Animism, Butuan is a Bisaya region, Awi or Siagu the ruler of Butuan and Surigao, is the brother of Kolambo of Leyte and cousin of Humabon of Cebu. Butuan is from the Bisaya word but-hoan which means school, "but"is similar sounding to the sanskrit "bud", which means learning, now combine that with the Bisaya suffix for area "hoan", you have "but/bud" + "hoan"= but-hoan or bod-hoan or butuan which means school.
Thanks for posting this video. This temple was a highlight on my trip to Cebu several years ago.
