Cultural Significance
Pre-colonial Filipinx people believed that gold had the ability to hold our ancestor’s energy and stimulated the goodness of our souls. They also wore gold as a form of protection. To keep unwanted spirits from entering a person, it was important to wear gold at the end of bodily openings like the nose, ears & eyes; in order to close off entry from malevolent entities.
