According to wikipedia, Superstition is a credulous belief or notion, not based on reason or knowledge. The word is often used pejoratively to refer to folk beliefs deemed irrational. This leads to some superstitions being called "old wives' tales". It is also commonly applied to beliefs and practices surrounding luck, prophecy and spiritual beings, particularly the irrational belief that future events can be foretold by specific unrelated prior events.

Supersticous is not only popular in Malaysia but its around the world. Its usually related with the culture and religions. It had been practising because they tend to believe that from the old generation. Here are some example of common supersticous had been practising in Filiphino.

• If you open an umbrella indoors, a centipede will fall down from the ceiling.
• Accidentally dropping your fork on the floor might mean that a male visitor will come by.

• After a Baptism, the parents and the newly christened child should rush out of the church ahead of the others.

• Singing while you are cooking means that you will end up widowed.

• Accidentally dropping your fork on the floor might mean that a male visitor will come by.

• if your left hand itches, money will come to you

In my opinion, supersticous is the way peoples teach their children to have a better manners or behave. it also have interesting roots.Sometimes it very useful because their child will follow because they tend to believe it. Apart from that, supersticious show the race culture and norms.As an example we can see, Filiphino supersticious is similar to malay culture which in a same asion region. Its mean our culture and piliphino is not have so much different and we share the same behaviour and culture as an Asian people.
