UFO Descendant Bird Sarimanok abducted Tribe's Princess for hybridization

From the oral folklore of a certain Mindanao Tribe retold.

From the oral account of Rodelo Dangcalan of Northern Mindanao.

My grandmother who came from Maranao tribe ancestry told me this story; that was told to her coming from the account of her ancestors transferred from one generation to another.

 She said, Lake Lanao was a center of supernatural occurrence in the area in ancient time. The lake harbored many sightings that could not be explained. Some sightings indicate that there were unidentified flying object landed on the lake that resembled to a large flying boat the size of a caracao. Others saw some flying boat the size of a baroto. All of these flying objects they observed,  rose from the depth of the lake and returned at dawn to submerge again.

According to the legend, the famous occurrence of these things happened on the celebration of the royal family. The princess celebrated her birthday and on that occasion, while they were in the merry, making a giant bird appeared in the air.

The bird resembled to a rooster with large comb and has long tail dangling as it flew. It was dazzling with different colors. Then it landed at the center of the dancing celebration in open ground. After that, the bird transformed into a handsome man. Everyone was enchanted by him and freeze. And easily, the visitor went directly to the princess that was captivated by his charm.

 The whole tribe was enchanted and could not move. So without any hindrance, the stranger took the princess to the open ground and then transformed again into a bird and flew; bringing with him the princess.

The king after, gaining his senses, followed the flight of  the bird and they saw it landed on the lake and vanished.

Later he built the replica of the bird in all his royal houses to remind him the image of the abductor of her daughter.

And they called the bird Sarimanok.

* Caracao - a big sail boat capable of accommodating 200 people.

Cementerio de los Extranjeros - Burial ground of Alien race preserved

The cemetery is located near the sea in the island of Panay.

From the oral account of pioneer American teacher called Thomasites who was detailed in Iloilo retold by Jose Conanan  of Iloilo City

 His name is G.N. Brink  He is an official of Bureau of Public Instruction in our place in 1902. He came to know this ancient burial ground when one English citizen died in the city. He was buried at the ancient cemetery.

He was buried on an old   tomb, a rectangular niche made of bricks. The tomb was occupied once by rich clan of the city but was  abandoned centuries ago as revealed by the last generation of caretakers of the cemetery.

The tomb was destroyed and the remnants  of the corpse were robbed of gold and jewelry because nobody paid a visit in that tomb.

When the tomb was cleared of other debris, the excavators unearthed a skull of a primate with  upper pangs
Its jaw is not natural for it was elongated. The diggers thought that it was a primate, maybe gorilla that was buried before the cemetery was built.

My friend said that the skull was alien specie, probably ancestors of vampire race, that was buried  in the tomb because nobody will care for a gorilla to be buried in expensive cemetery.

As for the skull my friend told me that he will bring it to America.

The origin of supernatural hybrid; Man-Horse called Tayhu or Tikbalang

One of the ritual to become a shaman is to capture alive the creature called Tayhu or Tikbalang. The Tayhu creature is a hybrid, born out of the union of a female bufallo and giant called Agta as revealed by the shaman. Tikbalang is the offspring of a female horse and Agta giant.

Taken from old Filipino beliefs, retold by the author.

Tayhu and Tikbalang can't produce offspring because it is sterile. In Philippine mythology these creatures can be tamed and utilized as working animals.

Tayhu is a creature whose upper body resembles to a hominids or primates. It has a torso and head of a primates with semblance to early hominids of prehistoric era. Its lower body from waist resembled that of   legs of four-legged animals.

The Tikbalang is another hybrid. Its head resembled to a horse with thick hair, while its torso is hominid in shape. Downward, it has two  legs but its shape belongs to that of a horse, thereby making it to run like horse.

To capture the Tikbalang, you must seek its habitat and its trail at moonlit night. Once it was pinpointed, then you   must climb a tree where its branches dangles on the path of the Tikbalang. Then wait for the creature to pass on on your  position while on his way to its feeding ground. Once it passed on your position jumped on his shoulders, grabbed the mane hair and sat on his shoulders holding its hair while your legs strangled its throat.

The creature will run and shake hard to throw you away from his head but hold fast and hard. Then pull the biggest strand of hair at the back of its neck. When this hair was remove, the creature will stop and put you on the ground. Then you will become its master.

From the oral account of Carlito Aspiras of Agoo, La Union.

My grandfather who whose ancestors came from the mountain tribe Igorot told me this story.

He has an American  friend, a pioneer  Thomasite teachers assigned in the Mountain Province in the early 1900's.

When my grandfather and the American visited the rice terraces, the American was amazed at the Bul-ol sculptures that guarded  most of the rice fields of the terraces.He got interested on it and told my grandfather to buy one of them, especially the biggest one that was sculpted in sitting position with both hands rested on his knees in bridging position.

My grandfather told him that it was sacred image, an heirloom  of the tribe and could not be sold nor given to anyone.

But his friend was interested and has other plan on the Rice God.

Before the American returned to Baguio, he stole the Rice God. the tribe learned this and the man was cursed. "I'm  sad, said my grandfather. "I could have sculpted a new one, a replica of the sacred image then I will give it to him. but he choose to steal it."

My grandfather said the course never happened on his friend but on the future  generations of his forebears.

 His famous forebears who died with the course of the Rice God was a popular American president, told my grandfather.
