MANANANGGAL –(Bikol, Tagalog) A flying fiend, and carries only half its body, bodies are cut

in half at night. Some says, like Aswang, by day, they are beautiful maidens living in a nipa hut,
by night, they rub a kind of oil to their whole body which gives them the power to separate
themselves into two –the upper part which she carries with bat-like wings, and the lower part
which they live, then goes back to connect its upper part before the dawn.Manananggal is an
aswang that can fly after separating itself from thelower half of its body. It eats babies and
fetuses from a mother’s womb. It eats babies by means of passing their long tongue through a
small hole from the roof of a house. The sharp end of the tongue touches the mother’s navel
to suck the blood of the fetus or unborn child.A manananggal can also be a sorceress that visits
villages and barrios. To feed, the self-segmenter chooses an isolated place where she will leave
her lower torso while she hunts at night.Bird When she separates from her lower torso, she
then gains her ability to fly. She then goes off in search of houses where pregnant women
reside. Upon choosing a suitable victim, the Manananggal alights on the house and inserts her
tongue through the roof. The tongue is long, hollow and extremely flexible. She uses it to
puncture the womb of the sleeping woman and to suck out the fetus. At other times, she
seduces men with her beauty and lures them to a private place before eating them alive. She
usually eats the insides, like the heart, stomach or the liver. Sunlight is deadly to the
Manananggal when she is in her monstrous form. Should her two halves still be separate with
the coming of dawn, she will be destroyed. According to legend, to destroy the Manananggal,
one should search for the lower torsothat she leaves behind

during her nightly hunts. Salt, ash, and/or garlic should then be placed on the exposed flesh,
preventing the monster from combining again and leaving it vulnerable to sunlight. Small
containers of salt, ash, and raw rice, and the smell of burning rubber are said to deter the
Manananggal from approaching one’s house. (learn more)

beautiful, silent maidens dwelling in a simple nipa hut, but by night Bird they become a terrible
fiend that feeds to human flesh and blood. They can make humans be like them whenever
they serve flesh food (which is actually human flesh) and whenever you swallow something
inflicted by their saliva. Their power can be also transferred just like that of Amaranhig. They
harass and eat awake humans at night, especially pregnant women who are about to give
birth. Aswangs can change from a human to an animal form, usually as a bat, a pig or a black
dog. Some aswangs can change form at will, others through the use of foul oils concocted by
evil magicians. Aswangs appear at night to prey upon unwary travelers or sleeping people. It is
said that they have a peculiar liking for the taste of human liver. The myth of the Aswang is
popular in the Visayas, especially in provinces such as Capiz, Antique, and Iloilo. Aswangs also
have a peculiar liking for the fetus of pregnant women and are said to find their quarry by the
scent ofthe mother, which to the aswang smells like ripe jackfruit. Upon finding the house of
the pregnant mother, the aswang alights on the roof from where it stretches its tongue until it
is as thin as a thread and uses it to enter the womb and feast on the fetus.The term Aswang
can also be considered as a generic name for Filipino vampiric creatures, such as Manananggal,
Tiktik and many more. (Learn more about the Aswang)ASWANG NA GALA –(Eastern Visayas)

stressed, or dying persons. It appears very human, with some working in hospitals as nurses to
feed on the patients. An Aswang na Gala can be identified by staring into its eyes, which reflect
images upside-down. Sometimes it feeds on the life force of the fetus inside an expectant
mother’s womb.ASWANG NA LUPAD –(Eastern Visayas) It is distinct from other flying Aswangs
because it keeps its human form and does not need wings to fly. After taking its clothes off,
itapplies under its armpits a green ointment made of herbs and fat, before rising into the
night. It rides the current, as though swimming on its back, in search of a fresh corpse. Finding
one, it takes only the liver and swiftly departs. It is never known to feed on living men,
although reported cases of dead farm animals with missing livers have been blamed on the
Aswang na Lupad. Citrus fruits take away its ability to fly.ASWANG SA KALIBONAN –(Eastern
Visayas) (Aswang of the Forest, Aswang sa Talon) An ancient Aswang who lives away from
humans and resides in the deepest part of the forest. This Aswang is powerful and is feared as

means garlic in English). These kitchen items, which are believed to ward off the aswang are
placed on doors, windows and beams of houses.
The Story of ASUANG & GUGURANG (Posible origin of th aswang term)

Long ago, the good and evil Gods lived in harmony. There was an understand among them as
they created balance in the world. Two, who some claim were siblings, lived opposite one
another. Gugurang, the good God, lived inside Mt. Mayon. Asuang, the evil God, inside Mt.
Malinao. Gugurang controlled fire and thus controlled the people. When he was displeased
with them he would make the earth rumble from within the depths of Mt. Mayon. If he felt the
people’s behaviour was unforgivable he would make the volcano erupt and wipe them out.

Asuang had no control over the people. Jealous of Gugurang’s power, he begged for fire.
Gugurang refused. He knew Asuang’s intention was to gain favour by giving it to the people.
They argued for what seemed an eternity, but Gugurang stood strong. Asuang made himself
invisible and located the fire. He was able to distract the guards with gold. He placed the fire
inside a coconut shell and raced back toward Mt. Malinao.

Gugurang knew what Asuang had done when the throne room went dark. Unable to control
his new power, Asuang set the world ablaze. Every village that Asuang passed burst into flame.
Gugurang followed the fire and eventually caught up to Asuang. He took back the flame and
returned it to Mt. Mayon. cried for the Gods to help him control the spreading flames and it
began to rain continuously.When the fire was stopped he took revenge on Asuang by ordering
lightning and thunder to attack Mt. Malinao.

The people never forgave Asuang for the evil and destruction he had bestowed upon them.

named Aswang and Agurang. So aswang represented the forces of evil and Agurang
represented the forced of good. Each of this spirits have the particular quality of having their
power strong at certain times of the day, so aswang had his powers strongest in the evening
and Agurang had his power strongest during the day time. These two spirits were fighting over
the ownership of the island of Panay so later on Agurang wanted to defeat aswang and
because of his intellingence he attacked aswang during the daytime while aswang was asleep.
Agurang won this fight and he won possession over the island of Panay.

Why are most aswangs woman?

The answer was rooted deep in history around 1567 When Miguel Lopez de Legazpi landed on
Panay and began active colonization and Christianization of the villagers. During this particular
period were lots of upheavals in that town of Capiz itself. And these upheavals were usually led
by women. So that the people would not follow these women who usually attacked at night
because they had no modern equipment and no modern weapons the Spaniards told the
natives that these women were evil, and they performed magical acts and that these women
were aswangs. SO, the people started avoiding these women and as a result they didn’t have
anyone to join them in their anybody to join them in their upheavals.

They put a chick on top of the open casket when the killer of someone is running loose
Where there is no justice the chick supposedly knocks on the killers conscience

The custom you are referring to is called "pabo at manok" or "chicken and chick" in the
Philippines. It is believed to be a traditional superstitious practice in some areas of the country,
particularly in the rural areas, where people believe that the chicken will serve as a messenger
to seek justice for the deceased person.

The belief is that the chicken represents the soul of the deceased and is left on top of the
casket during the funeral procession, as a symbol of the deceased person's unfinished business
and unfulfilled desire for justice. It is said that the chicken's presence on the casket will remind
the killer of their guilt, and will eventually lead to their confession or punishment.
While this practice is not officially recognized by the government or the church, it is still
observed in some parts of the Philippines, particularly among those who feel that justice has
not been served for their loved ones who were killed unjustly.

The "Pabo at Manok" custom is a unique and interesting tradition that can be observed in
certain regions of the Philippines, particularly in the provinces of Pampanga and Bulacan. It is a
practice that involves placing a live chicken and a live turkey on top of a casket during the
funeral of a murder victim, especially when the killer is unknown or has not yet been brought
to justice.

According to the belief, the chicken and turkey are meant to serve as symbols of justice and
divine intervention. The chicken, known as "manok," is said to represent the victim, while the
turkey, known as "pabo," symbolizes the killer. It is believed that the presence of these animals
on the casket will help to bring about a confession or reveal the identity of the killer.

The tradition is deeply rooted in Philippine culture and has been passed down from generation
to generation. It is believed that the practice dates back to the pre-colonial era, where it was
used to resolve conflicts and disputes among the different tribes and communities. In modern
times, the "Pabo at Manok" custom is still observed by some families, especially those who live
in rural areas.

While the custom is not widely practiced in other parts of the Philippines, it is still regarded as
a fascinating and important part of the country's rich cultural heritage. It is an example of the
unique beliefs and practices that can be found in the different regions of the Philippines.

In conclusion, the "Pabo at Manok" custom is a fascinating and unique tradition that is
practiced in some parts of the Philippines. It serves as a symbol of justice and divine
intervention, and is believed to bring about a confession or reveal the identity of the killer. It is
a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Philippines and the diverse beliefs and practices
that can be found in different regions of the country.
