and indeed the two boys left her alone as they are busy knowing what biringan is. The word biringan may mean another, especially when looking in the Philippine culture and geographic, but to the two spies, it was their little code, something they made during their training. Something that only them understands. To the Philippine geographic area, Biringan was a mythical place in which the ‘engkantos’ lived. Not everyone can access the said place, and no human has ever gone in and successfully out of the said place. Boeing mythical that it is, it cannot be seen by the naked eye, and no one knows how to really access the place. It is only that, you may be unfortunate to unknowingly stumble upon

Francis ordered, urging them to move further. They barely took a step forward when a trio of cultist led by an Aswang appeared from the door of the nearest house. Lukas dove, his stomach flat on the floor before he open fire. Nagar was behind him, firing his own rifle at the line of enemies. Their bullets penetrated through the body of the Aswang and hit the two other cultists behind it. The last one was terminated by Francis' team. Lukas turned at their direction to see them stepping over a Tikbalang's corpse. One of Francis' subordinates was carrying a soldier with a missing left arm.

They have mostly the preys they salivated that serves as their meals during their transformation phase. Aswang, as what Sir John Dave explained and shown me, were traditionally feral beasts and inherently evil by nature, with no explicable motives beyond harming and devouring other creatures. Their overtly evil behavior has no bias when selecting their prey and will not hesitate to target their own kin. It was with the exception of the matriarch Madame Maida, my mate Allyssa, who was perceived as the strongest of them all, and the seer Iris Meritis for her distinct power to see the past and the future.

"Aye, blondie! You're the famous biologist Rose Smith, right? Don't you know that the Domminga Mountains are the home of Ikapati Tribe of Aswang? They steal babies to grow their fruit with the bones of newborn villagers. And the Tikbalang are no better, deathly horses that stampede the dreams out of you, leaving you a shell! There are no warrior shamans around here to protect you, no wise women or priestesses. This is rough man terrain, no place for a short blonde American." He honked his horn, tipped his baseball cap, and Rose just smiled, boarding the bus and tipping him generously. "I don't worry about fairytales, Daniel. C'mon little brother, I gotta tag some Philippine Eagles for Stanfo

"A what?" "An aswang," Halafarin repeated. "Is there something wrong with your hearing?" He shrugged, deciding that perhaps the human was not as bright as legends said humans were.

Welcome back to the Supernatural Spa, dear reader. Looks, like you're eager to know more about the aswang of Philippine lore and myths. Now, there are many ways to go against an aswang. One of the most common ways is to fight with something made of metal, or to be specific, iron. They also avoid getting pierced with anything wooden, especially through the heart. But then again, everyone should avoid that whether they are aswang or not. Other items they tend to avoid are anything anointed, garlic, and salt. As a matter of fact, aswang don't even cook their victims' meat in salt and garlic. It is said that these cuts of flesh would move if they are sprinkled by these seasonings.
