In Philippine mythology, a Diwata (origin Sanskrit Devata), also known as Encantada, is a mythological figure similar to fairies or nymphs. They are nature spirits and live one with mother earth. They were benevolent or neutral and could be called upon ritually for positive crop growth, health, and fortune; however, they also caused illness or misfortune if not given proper respect. They are said to reside in large trees, such as acacia and balete and are the guardian spirits of nature, casting blessings or curses upon those who bring benefits or harm to the forests and mountains. They have their origin in the Hindu Devata, with the term Diwata originating from the Indonesian Dewata.
The term "diwata" has taken on various levels of meaning since its concept's being assimilated into the mythology of the pre-colonial Filipinos. It is sometimes loosely used to refer to a generic type of beings much like "elf" or "fairy," or very specific ones as mentioned above. It has been noted that the term "diwata" is synonymous to "anito," and that the usage of the word "diwata" is more prevalent in the Southern Philippines, while "anito" takes its place in the Northern areas.

Sa’yong mga yakap agad nangungulila
Ikaw ang sigla na humapahaplos sa’king
Buhay pag nalulumbay
Ang ‘yong mga labi’y humahalimuyak
Pag nasisilayan parang ginto at pilak
Ikaw ang diwatang tumapak sa lupa
Na wala nang papantay
Tumatanaw sa’yo ang langit
Ang ‘yong ganda’y ka-akit akit
Pangarap ko’y ikaw…...
Dalangin ko ay mahagkan ka
Sa pag lipas ng panahon
Ang tinig mo’y parang agos ng sapa
Hinding hindi mag wawagas ang pag-ibig
……Mahal kita
Ang ‘yong mga mata’y
Kasing kulay ng punong mahinhin
Sumasabay sa agos ng hangin
Tumatanaw sa’yo ang langit
Ang ‘yong ganda’y ka-akit akit
Pangarap ko’y ikaw…...
Dalangin ko ay mahagkan ka
Sa pag lipas ng panahon
Ang tinig mo’y parang agos ng sapa
Hinding hindi mag wawagas ang pag-ibig
……Mahal kita
