What is an aswang? This is a question that has continually resurfaced during my twenty years of studying the folklore and religious beliefs of the various ethnolinguistic groups in the Philippines. It is a question that so intrigued me, I spent almost five years exclusively exploring the topic, culminating in my documentary The Aswang Phenomenon (2011). It is a question that has confronted many before me, and will hopefully continue to intrigue academic and creative minds into the future. For the Filipino, the answer may seem very simple and concise. They will likely answer the question based on the belief in their community with such certainty and vigor that there is little room for misinterpretation. Moving to the next barangay will elicit a different yet equally assertive answer. Travelling throughout the country leaves one with hundreds of interpretations. In the 1960s, Dr. Maximo Ramos, affectionately referred to as the “Dean of Philippine Lower Mythology,” undertook the monumental task of creating taxonomical classification of folkloric beings throughout the Philippines. The culmination of this work was eventually published in a book called The Creatures of Philippine Lower Mythology (very recommended). Within its pages, folkloric creatures are neatly placed into twelve categories; Demons, Dragons, Dwarves, Elves, Ghouls, Giants, Merfolk, Ogres, Vampires, Viscera Suckers, Were beasts, and Witches. What I found curious was that the aswang appeared in five of these categories; Ghouls, Vampires, Viscera Suckers, Were beasts, and Witches. These became the taxonomic classification for the aswang in Ramos’ later work The Aswang Complex in Philippine Folklore (also recommended).

Oh yeah, if any of y'all have any questions about the Philippines, Filipino language, culture, history, and other Filipino things, feel free to send me an ask and I'll do my best to answer it this weekend!

I wanna start just doing this every so often since I love learning ew things and talking about them.

Note: I am not an expert by any means just an extremely nuerodivergent Filipino who had a hyperfixation on Filipino history since 7th grade. My only credentials is qualifying twice for national competitions lmao

TAO KA LANG

Tao ka lang. Hindi lahat dapat mong kayanin. Ano ba naman ang saglit na pahinga? Humugot na ng di mapitas na buntong hininga. Pasukuin ang bigat ng buhay at palayain sila sa mga mata.

Kung balak buhatin ang mga bagay, kahit paano ay bumitaw sa sakit ng loob. Tao ka lang. Iinog ang walang pakialam na mundo kahit hindi ka magtuloy. Kaya magpahinga ka. Tao ka lang. Kahit hindi nila maintindihan. Kahit na parang ang pagtigil ay mortal na kasalanan. Kung wala nang matitira sa'yo ay paano ka pa magbibigay? Tao ka lang.

Saglit lang. Baka magalit pa sa'yo ang ningning ng pag-asang dala ng ulan. Ikulong mo muna ang mga pumapalahaw na bulong sa pusod ng mapanira nilang bahay-bahayan. Sa sulok ng isipan. Hanggang sa di na sila matagpuan. Nagyon na, huminto ka. Ang ingay sa ulo at mga tanong na makalaslas-pulso. Magpahinga ka para malaman mo. Kung hinahanap man, ang payapa ay dapat magsimula sa'yo. Tao ka lang.

Magpahinga ka. Tao ka lang.

Kandila

patay na ang mga ilaw at nagtatago ang buwan sa ganda mo'y nasisilaw madilim man at maulan

ang kinis ng iyong balat maaari bang hawakan? ngunit takot na magkalat sakali mang mapatakan

at mapaso ng 'yong luha ayaw ko munang masaktan kung ikaw ay 'di makuha wala ring pakakawalan

ngayong malalim ang gabi baka p'wedeng sumalisi payakap muna sandali sana ika'y makumbinsi

liwanag mo'ng nagpainit dito sa aking katawan sarili ko'y pinipilit na 'wag ka sanang mahagkan

'pagkat alam kong 'di p'wede kahit gawan ng paraan kailanma’y hindi pup'wede dahil iba'ng nilalaman

ng puso mong lumiliyab ito'y naiintindihan mga mata'y kumikintab tuwing ika'y tinitingnan

matapos man itong gabi magdamag nama'y nasulit bawat oras sa'yong tabi sana lahat ay maulit

Unang Buwan ng Pagkamangha

Tila huminto saglit ang mundo,

lumiyab ang lahat ng apoy sa lahat

ng abuhan sa sityo nang mas maliwanag

nang matanaw mula sa pintuan: isang nanay,

karga-karga ang kaniyang musmos

habang tumatawid sa namamagang ilog na maghapong naulanan.

Ang aking natutunan sa ganitong pag-indayog: ang salitang

Manobo para sa baha: lanog at itong tahimik na paghintay

sa pagtila ng ulan: lurang

If you go to the Gold Museum in Ayala, you’ll notice how much of the treasures come from the Visayas or precolonial Bisayan kingdoms in Mindanao. We imagine this is only a small sliver of what brilliant gold was once held in the abundant rivers & waters of the islands. Although we can commiserate together about the loss, we treasure what does remain: the richness of our islander languages preserving our living cultures! ⭐️ We’re starting Bisayan Language Immersions next week, from August 31 - November 6, 2023 ➡️ Learn with us! bababisaya.com

I was also thinking on answering some asks eventually on like Filipino culture and history that I might be able to research or give my personal knowledge on but I'm still not sure. I want to talk more about culture stuff here honestly and I just never got around to it specifically because of my health scare last year. Maybe I'll try to do it this weekend?

Alam ko namang hindi ko kailangan. Pero minsan, naiisip kong makakahanap rin ako. Ng mabuti at marunong makinig. Ng may pakialam at di takot humibik. Yung hindi masyadong duwag sa pûla ng aking malakas na pagkababae. Hindi napahihina sa tapang ng nakakalalaki kong kalikasan at prinsipyo. Kung hahanap man ay dapat kaya n'ya ang aking mga bagyo, mapa delubyo man ng aking mga suhestyon sa buhay at makatotohanang payo. Saan ka pa kaya sa mundo makakakita ng taong kayang lumuhod sa hindi n'ya kapanalig ng pagkatao?

Hindi ako naghahanap. Ni hindi ako nangangailangan. Pero numanais rin ako ng marunong sumakay at may alam kung kailan tamang maglumanay at lumaban.
