there are a lot of supertitious beliefs in the philippines. some don't believe them anymore since more people are now better educated. some beliefs that i know of: CATS: if you meet a black cat while walking, don't continue what you plan on doing because its a sign of bad luck or a bad omen. SWEEPING: never sweep the floor when the sun is setting. they believe that luck will go out of your house. the elders says that you are sweeping good luck out of the house. about the SPOON. when you are eating and it fell off the table, there will be a male visitor later that day. if a FORK falls off the table a female visitor will come. some of my relatives who are fishermen don't go out to the sea when its full moon because they believe that they won't catch anything because a dragon/ big sea creature is scaring all the fish. that's all that i know of. some are not practiced anymore, still some believe them specially in the provinces and the elders.

Superstition is a belief or notion, not based on reason or knowledge, in or of the ominous significance of a particular thing, circumstance, occurrence, proceeding, or the like.

Therefore all religion is superstition
