English translation of quote by Paul Morrow.
Note:
Although the author of this book gave only the most minimal acknowledgement to
Henry Scott's work, he did allow a little more space for two recent origin theories of the Filipino population
– but only after giving a full description of
Dr. H. Otley Beyer's now obsolete wave migration theory.
Also, it may be
wrongly inferred from the quote shown here that ancient Filipinos
worshiped a single deity called "Diyos" or "God", but the only
monotheists in the Philippines at that time were the Muslims. Most ancient
Filipinos, including Visayans, were in fact ancestor worshippers and animists who revered many natural objects and animals
as supernatural entities. It is plainly evident in the Code that even the
mythical Kalantiaw was an animist.
