This essay is a comparison of the goddess of love of Japan and the goddess of love of the Philippines. The goddess of love of Japan is called as Benten, Benzaiten or Benzai-Tennyo.

According to my research, the Philippines has a lot of deities but only the goddess of love, Dian Masalanta, is the youngest among all the deities. She was considered as the most beautiful, and the most loving of all godesses. Dian Masalanta loved all things, such as the trees, flowers, shrubs, animals, birds, and she also had a deep love and connection with humanity. She is the daughter of Anagolay (goddess of the lost things) and Dumakulem (guardian of the mountains). Dian Masalanta has a brother, Apolake, who is the god of war. It is said that Dian Masalanta broke the sacred law which results in her banishment in the so called Kalangitan. No one until now knows what kind of sacred law she broke but many believe that it’s because of her first mortal love that she was punished and brought to the mortal world but then for Dian Masalanta it’s not a punishment for she loves the mortal world and she is happy to dwell in the mountains as its guardian. Since then, Dian Masalanta became the healer of every mortal being living in that particular mountain. Once in a while, someone takes advantage of Dian Masalanta being the mortal’s healer, so Dian Masalanta moves to another mountain
