I am just a teenager when I joined the cult of faith healer and doomsday preacher named Cerferino Quinte of Tacloban Leyte. Taken from the oral account of Jerwin Astorgas of Leyte.
We are poor people who joined the cult hoping to alleviate our sufferings for we believed that our leader is a Sigbinan, a master who owns Sigbin animals who can travel to the future and back again.
On March of the year 1999 we were ordered to build our own tunnel for our salvation for he told us that he foresaw the coming rain of fire that will relentlessly bombard the place with flame, hot ashes, burning stones and suffocating smokes.
We build crude tunnels atop the hill and stockpiled it with foods, enough water, clothing as well as medicines and kerosene fuel for lamps. We sold all our belongings and animals and buy all the supplies needed for the doomsday.
Many tunnels have been dug, and were inspected by the personnel of the Bureau of Mines. They found out that all of it were not safe; for the water was seeping and the mud was soaked with water. Yet, we transferred on the salvation tunnels weeks before the coming of the new millennium.
Day before New Year, we waited inside the tunnel but the foretold rain of fire never came. Our leader told us that his pet Sigbin revealed that there was a change of cosmic alignment and foretold it again that it will happen after a decade on the same date starting December 19, 2012. We believed in his revelation.
We marked that date and at the start of this year 2012 some of the remnant followers of the cult of AKO wanted to build again our own salavation tunnel but our leaders were already gone.

How to capture night roamer Aswang vampire for fortune and invincibility
From the oral account of Nonito Ascano of Minuro Akean Philippines.
I always wanted to capture this mythical creature called Aswang. These creatures were night roamer. The Aswang malakat walk by night while the Aswang lupad fly by night.
I was determined to catch one of them so I asked my shaman friend how to fight this creature.
He told me the best procedure as well as the weapons to fight against them.
In one dark night I went out to the top of the grassy hill without trees growing on it. I rolled myself inside a straw mat making the mat to looked like a big log. Inside the math I hugged my double-bladed bolo. As midnight approached, I heard the hoarse cry of wakwak creature and followed by tiktik sound of aswang.
Later I heard the two aswang talking in our dialect. They said that they sensed the scent of dead human. But its not me but the blood of dead pig that I brought is what they smelled. They presumed that I am dead so they carried me in the rolled mat as they flew home.
When they unrolled the mat inside their house I sprang up and stabbed the male aswang who is kneeling to unrolled the mat. He immediately scampered away then I held the woman on the hair telling her that I will kill her. She begged hard not to kill her and promised that she will gave me her gold heirloom. Then she brought out an ancient pot filled with gold nuggets. I immediately put it in my sack. I threatened them not to harm me for I can kill them because I possessed an antidote weapons against their power. They never dared to follow me as I headed home. The aswang were not strangers to me for they just lived at the nearby village, a walking distance from ours.
Later they transferred their habitat for they were already identified. As for the gold, I sold it and invested by buying wide tract of rice land.

Relics of Hobbit Mummies and Kingdom remnants of stone-age origin
I am a fishing boat owner who live in the remote island of Sitangkai in Southern Philippines. This island was near the sea border of Indonesia and my boats fished at the Celebes Sea sometimes intruding into Indonesian waters. When one of my boat landed on the remote island of Pataguan, territory of Indonesia, the crew stumbled upon a remnants of ancient civilization atop the hill of the island. Out of curiosity and sense of adventurist spirit in me, I decided to visit the place.
It was an island of Hobbits. They were like us, Malay-Asian in facial, but they were all stocky and short, just four feet tall. And they spoke a dialect only my native Sibutu islander crew can interpret.
We gifted them with sacks of dried fish and they became friendly to us. They toured as on their sacred burial ground, atop the hill. The burial ground is an underground labyrinth of caves and tunnels. When we reached the main altar, we were astonished on what we saw. On the altar lies two mummies of hobbits. One hobbit was a woman whose body was wrapped by skin of animals. The other one was clothed with soft metallic sheet all over his body. His face is not of human but resembles to that of a merman, mentioned in our legends. He has green skin on his face, on his bald head and on his large ears.
Later I learned from my crew that they were the remnants of extinct hybrid human species called homo floresiensis that roam the mainland of Celebes Island, 15,000 years ago as stated by their oral history. They said that the island was their sacred ground because it was the epicenter of their Hobbit origin and civilization I was also informed that the revered two Hobbit mummies were their original first ancestors whom they believed weld great supernatural power until now. And they prayed on these mummies.
