It has in recent times also been influenced by Christianity, with Jesus entering the Pantheon of the Diwatas and the saints being venerated however the christian philosophy has not made an impact on the core beliefs of the religion. The religion has many adherents in the eastern provinces of Cataduanes, especially among the Mahabeño minority among whon the ancient religion lives side by side with the conventional Catholic faith. In recent times it has grown in popularity among the Mestizo's, especially among the educated youth of the urban areas.
