“Kapampangan Origin of Day & Night”
In a Pampangan myth, Bathala (The Supreme Deity) went into slumber without leaving a will. Leaving his son and daughter, Apolaki (Sun deity) and Mayari (Moon deity), to fight over who would rule the earth.
Apolaki wanted to rule the earth alone, while Mayari insisted on equal rights. The two fought out the conflict until Mayari lost an eye. After Apolaki saw what he had done, he agreed to rule the earth together at different times. However, her light is dimmer than her brother's due to the loss of her eye.
