2. A list of Mythical Creatures from the Philippines and the

description (origin/ characteristic).
Multo
-Your basic Philippine mythical creature is the multo, which is a
ghost. There are quite a number of locations in the country
where you can go ghost-hunting, but Baguio should be on top of
your list. From the Diplomat Hotel, the Laperal Mansion, to
Teacher's Village, you're sure to have a frightening good time!
Aswang
- Another mythological creature that comes to mind immediately
is the aswang, which is a creature that consumes the innards of a
cadaver. The term aswang is also used as a catch-all name for
various viscera-sucking creatures in Philippine mythology.
While every region has their own version of the aswang, it's
most closely associated with the province of Capiz. In fact, the
province has leaned in on this reputation and holds an annual
Aswang Festival to celebrate it.
Mangkukulam
- Any promdi knows that if you've got an ailment that can't be
explained, it's probably the fault of a mangkukulam. If you cross
a mangkukulam and you're careless with your personal effects,
beware. They'll probably perform a "kulam" using your personal
effects and a doll or photograph. If you want to go on a
mangkukulam hunt, head on over to the island of Siquijor, which
has long had the reputation of being the home of mangkukulams.
Diwata
- Just because the creature doesn't look frightening, it doesn't
mean they aren't powerful or should be taken lightly. Over the
years, diwatas have come to stand for forest spirits who can be
benevolent to the good and vengeful to those who cross them.
One of the more well-known diwatas is Mariang Makiling,
whose mountain you can visit in Laguna.

Sigbin
- This creature may not be familiar to people from Luzon, but
Boholanos definitely know of the sigbin. It's said to look like a
small kangaroo, with flapping ears, burning eyes, a whip-like
tail, and the ability to walk backwards. During the Holy Week,
sigbins are said to go out and hunt for the hearts of children.
They'll then turn these hearts into amulets. If that hasn't
frightened you off, search for sigbins in Bohol.
White Lady
-Technically, the White Lady is a multo. However, she's
popular enough that she's got her own story and specific haunt.
Any Manileño cab driver knows to be careful when picking up a
passenger at Balete Drive in Quezon City. As the story goes,
they start out picking up a beautiful, long-haired woman in a
white dress. But the moment they look back at the White Lady,
all they see is a bruised and bloody face.
Berberoka
-Being an archipelago, there's no shortage of water creatures in
our mythology. An example of such is the berberoka, who lives
in freshwater and preys on fishermen. The berberoka will suck
water from lakes until schools of fish become visible to
fishermen. Once the fishermen are drawn to the fish, the
berberoka will use the water it sucked to drown the helpless
victim. If you're hunting this fearsome creature, head over to
Ilocos Norte.
Bungisngis
-When you hear the word bungisngis, terror isn't the word you
associate with it. After all, it translates to giggling in English.
But in Bataan, the bungisngis is a one-eyed creature with huge
upper lips, humongous teeth, and tusks that resemble those of an
elephant. Even worse, they prey on livestock.
Amomongo
-The amomongo is supposedly a hairy white ape that
disembowels chickens, goats, and other small animals and then
eats their intestines. If you want to see the am mongo, it
supposedly lives at the base of Mt. Kansan in Negro Occidental.
Manananggal
-Arguably the most popular aswang, the manananggal has
achieved recognition even beyond our borders. It's feature in
Marvel Anime: Blade and in a novel tie-in to popular television
series Supernatural. Fantasy author Neil Gaiman considers it his
favorite Filipino mythological creature. While you can probably
find them anywhere, their stories originated in the Visayas,
specifically in the provinces of Iloilo, Capiz

“5 FOREIGN RENOWED ARTIST IN LITERATURE”

VIRGINA WOOLF LEO TOLSTOY

The modernist English writer was in complete awe of Leo
Tolstoy, showering him with the highest praise. In her essay The
Russian Point of View, Woolf called Tolstoy the “greatest of all
novelists.” In the essay, Woolf explored the depth of the Russian
writer’s works, making some sharp observations of her own.
“From his first words, we can be sure of one thing at any rate —
here is a man who sees what we see, who proceeds, too, as we
are accustomed to proceed, not from the outside inwards but
from the inside outwards,” Woolf wrote of Tolstoy.
Woolf described Tolstoy’s senses and intellect as “powerful,
accurate and well nourished.” In the essay, she wrote, “Nothing
seems to escape him. Nothing glances off him unrecorded. The
influence of Tolstoy’s War and Peace and Anna Karenina on
Woolf is visible in Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse. In
Mrs. Dalloway, Woolf uses interior monologues to describe the
memories of Clarissa Dalloway and Peter Walsh in a flashback
format, showing clear Tolstoy’s
 ORHAN FYODOR

.” It just takes a cursory glance at Turkish Nobel laureate Orhan

Pamuk’s works to see the strong influence of Fyodor
Dostoyevsky.
In his novel My Name is Red, Pamuk describes the Istanbul of
the past in a way that echoes Dostoyevsky’s descriptions of 19th
century St. Petersburg.
When once asked about his admiration for Dostoyevsky, Pamuk
said: “Dostoevsky is an author with whom I tend to identify. I
have learned a lot from him.”
While drawing parallels with Dostoyevsky, the Turkish writer
said that like the great Russian writer, he was embedded his own
culture that, unlike Western culture, has never been the center of
the world.
“In Notes From the Underground, Dostoyevsky was waging a
war against shallow Occidentalists, didactic writers who were
always extolling the wonders of the West,” Pamuk said. “He
was angry at the West and the Westernizers for looking down on
his people.”
Pamuk added that like Dostoyevsky, he also “carried a certain
anger and resentment.”

WILLIAM FAULKNER
William Cuthbert Faulkner was an American writer from
Oxford, Mississippi. He is primarily known for his novels and
short stories set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, based
on Lafayette County, Mississippi, where he spent most of his
life

CRAZY BEAUTIFUL YOU

Crazy Beautiful You is a 2015 Philippine teen
romantic comedy-drama film directed by Mae Cruz-Alviar and
starring Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla. It was released in
cinemas across the Philippines on February 25, 201. Sometimes,
though we don't expect to find love, it's the one that finds us. In
"Crazy Beautiful You," we are introduced to Jackie (Kathryn
Bernardo), whose rebellious spirit forces her mother (Lorna
Tolentino) to take her in a medical mission in Tarlac in hopes
that she'd turn for the better. There, Jackie meets a jolly lad
named Kiko (Daniel Padilla), who will make sure she gets all
her tasks done. In the middle of his mission, he and Jackie will
discover something crazy... and beautiful. . I t is bounded on the
north by the province of Pangasinan, Nueva Eciia on the
east, Zambales on the west and Pampanga in the south. The
province comprises three congressional districts and is
subdivided into 17 municipalities and one city, Tarlac City,
which is the provincial. Finally fed up of Jackie's reckless antics,
her father sends her off to spend time with her mother on a
medical mission camp in Tarlac. Both her parents are hopeful
that the experience will straighten her out. Jackie, however, has
no intention of following through with orders and tries to sneak
out of the house, only to be stopped by her older brother who
was sent by their mother to collect. The mayor finally decides
to establish more of a father-son relationship with Kiko, while
Jackie has decided not to go to New York but to help her mother
in her charitable works. Marcus and Kiko reconcile and they go
to Manila to find Jackie again. Kiko calls Jackie and manages to
find her in Manila. He admits his feelings for her and the two
become a couple. The movie ends in a romantic shot of Jackie
and Kiko happily. The main goal of the movie crazy beautiful
you is to make people see what that place have and a beautiful
scenery it has. The moral lesson of the story crazy beautiful t he
movie teaches you that when all relationships fail, there is still a
family willing to stand against all odds. She wasn't left behind
by her mother, her father was stopping Lorna Tolentino (Jackie's
mother) to retrieve her back then.
