The Aetas of Zambales, the Mangyans of Mindoro and other Filipino tribes have different religious beliefs. Their Gods are manifested on the different forms of nature like trees, mountains, rivers, volcano, their dead ancestors, and many more. I think there is nothing wrong about that. It does not make them a lesser group of people.

Detailed explanation-1: -Using the perspective of cultural relativism leads to the view that no one culture is superior than another culture when compared to systems of morality, law, politics, etc. It is a concept that cultural norms and values derive their meaning within a specific social context.
