Crisanto’s mother presented freshly cooked smelly eggs. “Um. What are these?” Freya asked. “And why do they smell so eggy?” “These are what we call balut,” Crisanto’s mom said. “It’s a fertilized duck! It’s boiled and eaten from the shell with a pinch of salt or a splash of vinegar.” “Fertilized duck?” Freya, Geneva, and Kirk echoed. Kenneth only frowned. “Yes, it’s a famous snack here in the Philippines, and even in other Southeast Asian countries!” Crisanto’s mother winked, adding, “It’s good for honeymooners like you. Here, we call this the ‘Street Viagra,’ known for its aphrodisiac effect.”

I said annoyed while sitting in front of the table. The maid in the mansion was currently preparing the breakfast of me and Jevro. Arnold placed a cup of creamy coffee in front of me, which I happily thanked. After sipping coffee, I continued reading the article again. Recently, Cebu residents also found a monster swimming in the ocean. The said monster is a very large Octupos. It's no wonder if in the next few days there will be a giant shark or even a kraken under the ocean that suddenly risen. "With what's happening and these gigantic animals appearing in the ocean, it's as if the rotation of the world has returned to the time of the Giants. When will the Goliath-types appear?!" I said wi

While the image of Lilith as a deadly, hungry temptress has endured for centuries (Lilith was the First Vampire in True Blood, for example), a subsection of self-identified feminists have embraced her as the First Misunderstood Feisty Lady (inspiring the Jewish-American magazine of the same name). Many cultures have some equivalent of a life-draining creature. In the Philippines, for example, there's the manananggal, who some believe can shape shift into a woman and sucks blood from the bellies of pregnant women and...hates garlic.ADVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOWVampires were really born in Europe, though.

They’d made the decision firm when they were in Jodhpur, searching for a vetal that would take over corpses and haunt the souls of the living, begging to pass on from this world to the next. I’d been fairly nonplussed when they’d told me that – the stories about Paris sounded much more pleasant – but I supposed it wasn’t as bad as their travels through the Philippines, tracking a particularly nasty manananggal who was leaving a trail of injured pregnant women behind, who would later give birth to children with grossly deformed faces. They’d told me in gruesome detail about how they’d found the detached bottom half of her body, and how it had dissolved when they’d covered it in salt and garli

Cillian jokingly said. “It truly doesn’t look to me that you’re not lying but it’s still hard for me to completely accept.” “I was actually like you a few hours ago, I actually didn’t believe God Bathala too, but in the end, I just accepted it.” Cillian murmured as he looks to Bolus. “So, going back, who managed to pierce through your shell? Was it a monster?” “Yes, it was a monster who was inside my territory did that to me. A Giblinn, a unique grade monster was rampaging in the west part of the island managed to pierce me with its tail when I was trying to stop it.”

The moon shines fully, illuminating the darkness outside and providing a glint of light to Svetlana’s eyes as she stared up at it while she sat on a bench with Ahrio next to her. “There’s a legend in Southeast Asian countries that whenever it’s the full moon, ghosts, monsters and other scary supernatural beings appear and roam the world of the living. Do you know that?” Svetlana shared one of those horror stories she had heard from her childhood. Smiling, she glanced at Ahrio and caught him just staring at her face like he’s engrossed about everything about her. “Really? Do those supernatural beings include goddesses? Coz I’m definitely seeing one right now.”

I thought this man said nasty things about me. Oh no… wait! Maybe this man is trying to lure Mrs. Li. What if this man is like the folklore creatures called ‘aswang’ in this country? Yeah... that's right! What if aswang is true? I saw how his eyes turned red last night and only an aswang could do that based on stories as old as the pre-colonial period here in this country started. What is aswang? Well… Aswang is the usual term for most of those shape-shifting evil creatures in Filipino folklore. The aswang is the subject of a wide variety of myths, stories, arts, and movies, as it is well known throughout the Philippines.

Sa gitna, binubuo ang ilang klase ng mga nilalang na akala natin mga pawang kathang isip lamang. Mula sa lahi ng Vampira, Lobo, taong-dagat, mga mythical na nilalang kabilang sila sa mga nilalang na tumutul0ng upang kumuntrol sa mga patay na gustong bumalik upang mangulo... at sa mga taong tumutuklas ng karunungan tungkol sa mga namamatay... Ngunit isa lang... aww!" "Tama na. kasi sabi! Iritang-irita na si Master Jin oh."

MANANGALS – I took the inspiration behind this from the Manananggal which is a vampire-like mythical creature that originated from the Philippines. Like the above, the rest of the supernatural beings have my own take on things. - I hope this has helped somewhat! Thank you!

“All of a sudden, we heard rustling in the bushes and we froze in our tracks. Instinctively, Mathias stepped in front of me and shielded me with his arm. “‘Who goes there?’ Mathias shouted in a voice that was unafraid and full of authority. ‘Reveal yourself to me. I, Prince Vasran of the Varangaos, command you!” “From the undergrowth emerged a horrible creature. It stood on all fours but its rear legs were disproportionately taller than its front, so it held its head low and close to the ground. The fact that it was hairless all over added to its unnatural, scrawny appearance. It had the face of a bat with eyes that glowed red like coals, very large ears and jutting fangs. It was a sigbin.”
