Tala
Tala, the Tagalog goddess of the morning and evening star, is one of three daughters of Bathala and a mortal woman. According to mythology, Tala played a key role in creating the Tagalog traditional constellations. She used light spheres or orbs to guide men to safety at night, and without her stars, travellers would be lost in the seas.
