Philippine mythology creatures "wakwak/manananggal" The Manananggal and the Wakwak are two more forms of demonic creatures that are on par with the Aswang when it comes to the number of films that have been made about them here in the Philippines. It is said that during the day, the Manananggal appears to be a beautiful woman; but, once night falls, she morphs into a hideous monster that feeds on human viscera. It is stated that the Manananggal will slip out of her house sometime close to midnight in order to hide in the bushes or perhaps in a grove of banana trees. She then applies a specific kind of oil all over her body, and within a few minutes she will get wings similar to those of a bat, and her body will be severed at the waist. The portion of the body below the navel will remain immobile, but the upper part will continue to move about in search of food. Because of its highly developed sense of smell, it is able to detect the presence of a sick person or a pregnant lady from many miles away. Locals in certain parts of the Philippines, particularly in the Visayas, call it the Wakwak. This term is most common in the Visayas. The sound that the Wakwak makes with its wings when it is hovering or flying is where the name of this bird comes from. In most movies, the character is shown to be flying in an upright position while in flight. This is for tonight, stay tuned for more Philippine mythology creatures π

Basta ung mananaggal, lagi daw babae yan na maganda then ung wakwak nagiging ibon daw tlga yan. I dunno if may scientific explanation bakit malakas ang intuition ng mga babae g preggy sa ganyan. I ecall the moment dati na inaswang ako nakakatakot talaga.
