Mga Puting Diwata 

"diwata" in Filipino can mean "fairy" "muse" "nature spirit" or  "deity" but it said it was derived from Sanskrit "devata" which means "god" or "goddess".

In Bahasa Malay and Bahasa Indonesia, it can be spelled as "Dewata" or just "Dewa (Deva)" (for male god) and "Dewi (Devi)" (for female god).
