Hello Lotters, Very hard to believe! The Holy Week seems to be over because Monster presence is actually they claimed in the Municipality in Pangasinan. Which by the way,is Home Province of my Mom and Dad. I knew I was kinda right about closing doors and windows when every things go Dark at night, but during childhood, am glad there wasn't in my grandma's place. It's mentioned in the news that people claimed they had a hard time chasing the monster because it has shape shifting capabilities. only if they had thermo stat and night vision, they would have seen it, but you never really now, it could just wild imagination of others or vice versa. unfortunately, they should add faith in GOD and pray while chasing this thing. What do you think?

I am fascinated with stories of the Aswang and other folklore creatures that we have. Honestly. Are they for real? maybe or maybe not. When i was at my dad's province, there were stories of the aswang there or they call it "wak wak" and i could remember really closing all the doors and windows at night and when sleeping i will have all my cousins sleep together with me!

Hello jazel, I am not sure either if they are real. there are some things in this world that certainly we cannot afford to explain. if some experiences it, and tries to explain it, the others will think they are crazy to boot. well, there's nothing wrong with being cautious, but always remember to have faith. Have a nice day.

This is very rampant even here in Cebu. Even if there are no evidence of its existence but still many people believe on them. I personally doubt them and I don't think Pangasinan people could even found one.

Maybe they do exist but if they did, we must have an image from them. Night vision goggle is very helpful.

When i was a child, stories about these night creatures are rampant, and it seems as though they are everywhere and every child our age would probably have heard stories about them, right? i guess now that not many people talk about them, not many children speend time chatting with friends or neighbors or even their aunts and grandmas stories like these about monsters or aswang or some other province creatures are close to being forgotten already... right?

Hello CHiyosan, Yeah, every one would get scared of it. such culture isn't welcome anymore besides, there's a lot of monster in politics that even cursing them would put you in trouble. be careful out there and at night, have a nice day.

It's really funny that during this time time and age, "Aswangs" do still exist or at least news about them can still reach front page. I think the one you're referring to was mentioned in TV patrol . But we really can't blame the people living in the provinces since people living there specifically those in the far flung areas still has strong beliefs in the occult. Maybe these creatures exist but so far I have not seen one and have no plans of wanting to ever see one, ever.

Hello ybong007, I wonder if they would still act that way if they had education. if it's real and they have formal education, they might find a way to trap this thing instead of just chasing it as it runs. besides, they are human that has black magic thingy as to why they can't be detected.

This story is similar to the story of Manananggal. You know that? The man or woman with wings cut off from belly down? People usually thought they are real, when in fact, those seen were just members of the giant golden crown flying fox endemic to the forests of the Philippines.

Hello magtibaygom, how come the Department of Animal welfare were not aware of this? if this is true, it's the man who's a monster trying to kill a big BAT. but do you think there's a bat like that in Pangasinan, i mean how can a bat llike that eat or steal a whole goat, cow, or other livestock

This is a part of our culture. A myth that was never proven to have existed. I believe people capable of eating another human being but the transformation is just too much to take! And yeah you're right, they could have just lifted up things to God instead of chasing the unknown.

Hello toni, Yeah till this day It was never really proven. Come to think of it, they even went to the suburbs and interview some one who is actually an aswang. she said it's a curse and she promised herself that the curse will die along with her. i think they wouldn't exist if they had more people who are faith ful, but this is reality. if its' true then we should dig in to ourselves and repent.

dear LK, Really? I couldn't imagine. Wait, is this real? I was born and raised in Southern part of our country which is known for these "aswangs" but never in my life I've seen one. Anyway, you are right....there is no power above Almighty God

Hello Jaihosis, I don't know, it was reported but this isn't the first time. besides, with GOd on your side, there's no frightening there, always ask GOD for strength. anyways, they will never touch you. of course, having primitive weapons can be necessarily.most specially if you're roof is made of thin wood

You are right. We should always be reminded that we have our God who is the greatest among everything around us. Just be calm and be guided by God. Anyway, we know their weakness....we just panic that's why we fail to fight them.

Hello Mspitot, I don't know why they are so much intrigue with seeing an aswang. the media even went there and they saw nothing at all. i think panicking is not the solution but i don't know never in that situation, let's hope it doesn't happen. well, i'd stay out from provinces
