Philippine folklore "aswang" Within the context of Philippine culture, the Aswang is one of the more ubiquitous folklore notions. It can be compared to the Western werewolf or vampire in terms of how popular it is, especially in the Philippines. It is challenging to summarize in a single line what an aswang is, although there is widespread consensus among individuals of many various races regarding a number of aspects related to it. (1) that the majority of its diet consists of human blood and liver, and (2) that it has an evil preference for the young children who have not yet been born. (3) that it is also well-documented to prey upon vulnerable populations, including children and the sick. When taken in a more general sense, the name "Aswang" can be used to refer to the entire pantheon of sinister creatures that appear in Philippine folklore.
