Ancestor spirits are also known as tonong among the Maguindanao and Maranao. Souls in the spirit world still retain a degree of influence in the material world, and vice versa. Ancestor spirits also figured prominently during illness or death, as they were believed to be the ones who call the soul to the spirit world, guide the soul (a psychopomp), or meet the soul upon arrival.
