The Attack of YETI OKO Gorilla APE, pet of aswang at CLOSE ENCOUNTER. How to kill and defeat the monster.

From the oral account of Bert Piano of Panay Island, Philippines.

My father is a slash and burn farmer who have a parcel of clearing in the forest planted with corn.
One time at 3:00 am of dawn we woke up from our forest hut to gather  crablets traps that were laid on the shallow stream of the forest. It was still dark so we brought with us our bamboo torch  filled with flammable sap on it.

As  we go upstream, before we can reach the first trap, we encountered this creature sitting atop the flat rock of the stream, munching crablets.

The creature never saw us. We hid among the big rocks.

"That was a flesh-eating ape," whispered father. "Stay behind the rock and prepare also your bolo."

I was terrified. It was a humongous ape with glowing red eyes. It was hairy and probably eight feet as its image silhouetted against the backdrop of the breaking dawn sky.

Then the creature acquired our scent and he sounded a high shrill scream akin to a wail. I panicked but father told me to calm down. He will face the ape.

Armed with his two-bladed long bolo, father emerged from the rock and confront the ape, now screaming
loudly.

The ape  rushed to my father who was waiting for its attack.
The ape  tried to hug by father in order to crushed him but  father was quick to evade his assault. On his second try it tried to catch my father again with his both hands but father  jumped toward it and slashed its belly. The ape was wounded and it wailed  out of great pain as if  it was seeking help from  its other companion.

Then father stabbed the ape in the body many times before it stopped breathing.

That morning we wanted to bring the ape to the lowland but seven of us could not move the creature so, father decided to burn the flesh-eating ape on the rocks.

Fellow forest dwellers warned us to leave the area for the female mate of the male ape will surely seek revenge on us.
So I never sleep anymore in the forest hut, except for my father who is not scared of that creature.

Months past before the revenge took place. My father was missing in the forest  for his hut was empty as reported by some dwellers who happened to passed by our hut.

When we found my father, he was already dead and was hanged atop the tallest tree that no man can climb.
We fell down the tree and  what I saw on the my fathers corpse were imprint of ape's hair and claws.
