Philippine myth creature "cabalan" the centaur of the Philippines Tales of the Kabalan are said to have originated in the province of Catanduanes, which is located in the Bicol region. It has been said that they resemble horses (with 4 legs like a centaur). It is hairy from head to toe and has a human face or a face that resembles a human face. It is reported that they reside in trees and become enraged if their dwellings are ever compromised in any way. According to certain folklore, humans are responsible for the deaths of kabalans when they set fire to their tree houses while practicing kaingin agricultural techniques. However, the creatures are heartless and will punish anyone who have wronged them by cursing them with illness and misfortune for the rest of their lives. Morning 🙂
