Possible Origins of Filipino Superstitions
These superstitions have interesting roots. According to Dr. Sonia M. Zaide, author of The Philippines: A Unique Nation, India was very influential on Filipino superstitions. Dr. Zaide mentions a few such superstitions: 1) a maiden who sings while cooking will marry a widower, 2) a lady eating twin bananas will give birth to twins and 3) when one dreams of teeth falling out that means a loved one will die. Some of these superstitions also cross over into other cultures. The tradition of wearing polka dots and filling up your pockets with coins during the New Year seems related to Chinese superstition. In both Filipino and Peruvian culture, dumping your purse on the floor can mean that you will go poor. This may have something to do with the Spanish influence on both countries.
Some common superstitious beliefs in the Philippines include avoiding whistling at night to ward off spirits, not sweeping the floor at night to avoid sweeping away good luck, and not passing food from chopstick to chopstick as it symbolizes bad luck associated with death. These beliefs are rooted in Filipino folklore and cultural traditions.

For example, if someone is told they are not good at something, they may start to believe it and then behave in a way that leads to that belief becoming a reality.
