React on what you read:

1. Are the rashes caused by some disturbed spirits? Explained your answer.

= Scientifically speaking, skin rashes usually caused by some factors such as heat or long exposure from
the sun, dryness, moisture, diet and it can even be hereditary. So, to the question if rashes were caused
by some disturbed spirits. The answer would be NO.

2. Can playing at the backyard harm some spirit? Explain your answer.

= Following old beliefs is not bad at all, it will not cost or take anything from you, so it is best to follow
those rituals such as “Tabi-Tabi po” and be cautious at least aware of the surrounding because we don’t
what is really true.

3. Can scattering some rice grains around help heal the rashes? Why?

= If we explain it scientifically or medicinally, we can say that scattering some rice grains will not do
anything on the rashes, it is just a traditional preventive way or paying respect if there’s disturbed spirit
on that backyard.

4. Can rubbing the soil in the arm, face and feet hail the rashes? If yes, Support your answer.

= For me, doing that process like rubbing those soils on affected part of the bodies will only cause
infection or will make those rashes worse because soils may contain bacteria that can triggered your
rashes or worst, it can be multiplied or spread in your entire body.

5. Do you agree with the belief of mother-in law? why or why not?

= Those Spirits is part of our life, they somehow make us conscious or at least be careful in anything we
do. Again, agreeing or believing on those beliefs will not cost anything, at some point spirits can play a
vital part on the happening. On the other side, being new on that environment might be the reason,
because the body of that child is that use to it in that environment, that is why, it may cause her in
shock.
