I should mention that Bakunawa is soo not the god of despair. He's most commonly known as the draconic ruler of the seas. If there's an emotion/belief associated with Bakunawa, it'd be gluttony.

...that's what I get for trying to pull off the top of my head something I read on only once and nearly a month ago. 
I figured Wiki likely was wrong with the stuff on it. What're good credible sights or source books to check out on Phil Mythology then? |

Good ol'-fashioned books, friend hamster. 
Fully Booked has a good series by Damiana Eugenio; Philippine Folk Literature Series. There are some hispanic influences in the stories, but they are easy enough to take out.
Alternatively, if you are after Philippine mthological creatures rather than deties, UP students would do well to go to the Library for Maximo Ramos's thesis. Take care, though; the thesis is almost a century old. moldy and all that.
Other titles by Maximo Ramos are useful and easier to find, but they are written with a young reader in mind, so they could be sub-optimal. |

Would you happen to know of any good sources in Ateneo's Rizal Library? So far all I've run into are collections of folk poems and similar material. |

*Split topic*
I'm unfortunately unfamiliar with Ateneo and it's libraries. 
It usually helps to look around your faculty to see if anyone of them, especially in the English/Filipino Departments, is known as a folklorist. Chances are, they either have written books on the topic, or know books about them.  |
