The Gods Must Be Crazy: A Philippine Mythology Podcast

32: THE GODS MUST BE FIGHTING | Sinukuan & the Gods of Kapampangan Mythology, Part 2

In this episode, we learn about the creation myths of the early Kapampangans, the pantheon of Kapampangan gods, and dive into theories of who exactly Sinukuan could have been in Luzon’s pre-hispanic history.

Find out how a conference of gods that couldn’t stick to their agenda led to the creation of the earth, and how dangerous it is to pay for things with ginger. Join us as we learn about the Kapampangan gods of gluttony and hunger, and uncover theories on Sinukuan’s true identity: were they a mythical, god-like being, or were they once living, breathing, flesh, who walked–and possibly even ruled–the vast kingdom of Luzon many, many years ago?
