The mythology of Ran Iraya and Sulod tribe of Panay hinted that the people who populate the mystic mountain of central Panay Island believed that their race descended from a hybrid ancestor of old stone-age man in union of a spacemen or starmen who came from a distant star and traveled to earth by riding inside the dragon they called Bakunawa.
The tribe called their land as Lemur Island the ancient name of Panay Island, Philippines
The tribe claimed that their land was the last remnant of the great ancient civilization of MU and in the bosom of the island's mountain buried the dragon Bakunawa.
The tribe's sacred chant that they believed to be 7,000 years old tells a story of a heavenly star called Alunsina, where the humongous dragon Bakunawa came from. The Bakunawa that was comparable to the size of a mile-long hill, where inhabited by spacemen they called Agalon.
It was told in the chant that their place of origin, the Alunsina, was a dry and dusty place and on the verged of dying that is why the dragon carried some of them to Earth. It was told also in the chant that primitive man inhabit the place when they arrived.
According to the chant the starmen interbreed with the primitive man and in the process a new race was born.
They were called Silagan., the firstborn offspring of the heavenly union, the firstborn of their ancestors.
Silagan offspring were revered for they possessed supernatural capabilities. They can fly, breathe underwater, and possessed strength that they can lift boulders of rocks into the air with their bare hands as stated by the chant.
The chant revealed that from this Silagan ancestors the Ran Iraya and the Sulod tribe had descended.
The chant ended by telling that the final destiny of the tribes' race is in the heavenly star of Alunsina. The chant reminded them that they were interbreed according to a great wisdom , that of a long range plan to integrate the tribes into the universal colony of Alunsina.

From the beliefs of Visayan folks.
Earth has dual sphere, the real world and the supernatural underworld sphere.
The two where of the same diameter
It was like an ocean that rises and fall due to gravitational effect
This underworld sphere also rises and fall.
When night came, it rises above the real world and as it rises, the underworld inhabitants also rises with the bubble and roam the real world freely.
Oftentimes they came to interacts with real world's inhabitants.

The Stingray's Tail against Aswang and how it will defeat and kill its power.
I have a fisherman friend who gave me a dried tail of a stingray. It was long more than a meter in length and covered all over with tiny spines protruding only few centimeters from the skin. It was stiff yet pliable.
He told me that the tail can be used as whip to harm supernatural elements that can't be easily harmed by human-made weapons.
I had proven it one time. It was a clear night with full moon on its fullest. I was walking home, when I encountered a shape-shifting aswang that victimized local residents most of the time.
The creature was following me for I heard its hunt-dog creature called wakwak circling around me. Then I heard the bloated sound of the aswang making a tiktik sound for I knew it was patting its bloated neck out of great craving for human flesh.
I stopped, squatted on the ground and roamed my eyes around. I pulled out my bladed weapon and the tail of the stingray. I uncoiled it in one swift hack.
Then I saw the shadow of the aswang rushing toward me.
Before the shadow came nearer to me I whipped it hard with the stingray's tail. I knew that the tail had hit it hard and split its skin for the tail was wet with blood.
The attacking tandem retreated with raucous cry.
After that incident I was never attacked anymore by these creature.

Cannibal Monkeys eat their kids inside the trap.
My ripening cornfield as well as the pineapple fruits were always raided by marauding monkeys coming from the nearby forest at the edge of my farm. I decided to put a sturdy bamboo cage trap in it baited with sweet smelling jackfruit and bananas. Once the monkeys move the bait, the door will slid down and will locked.
After three days I visited my farm and there was a bunch of agitated monkeys trapped and clinging inside the cage.
On the ground two carcass of small monkeys lay on the ground. Their skulls was open in half and emptied with its brains. Its bodies, only the skin and bones remain.
I knew the bigger ones consumed their fragile kids out of hunger inside the cage.
I immediately gathered dried branches, threw around the cage and burned them alive.

Aswang Vampire Killer blade chronicles its curse of death whoever posses it.
My friend gifted me with a slim-blade bolo called talibong that was made of hard copper alloy. He wanted to dispose it for he could felt the urge in him to commit crime by killing his enemy with the use of that blade.
Its blade was all black and it has a superb cutting ability for it can cut through nails and metal bars with out affecting its sharpness
He warned me that the blade was dangerous for he used it to hacked an attacking vampire called aswang lupad. He told me that he killed the creature and the blade was cursed by its victim --- the vampire aswang.
I am not a superstitious believer so I accepted the blade.
One time my cousin visited me and borrowed the blade so I lend it to him. The next day my cousin was engaged in a duel and in their fight he hacked his enemy with the blade and his enemy's body was cut in half in just one swift stroke. He too died later because of stab wounds on his body inflicted by his enemy.
After I handled the blade I realized that the vampire's course was indeed true.
That whoever handle the blade will kill somebody.
That day I threw the blade on the tidal stream where sea water entered into it. I knew the salt will consume that cursed blade in the passage of time.

China battles US in the Spratly: Scenario of 2020
There are many predictions that Spratly is the next flash point of Asia. China's self-made claim of 9-dash line in the China sea will choke the US and its allies unhampered use of international waters in the area. Also China's self-proclaimed indisputable claim in the area will be challenged once they used military forces to evict rules-based claimants like the Philippines in their legitimate territory.
Since China is using a map that surfaced in 1947, detailing the 9-dash line in the area, it was more appropriate that Taiwan has the right to assert this claim since Communist Party was not yet born. Neither China of today, represent democratic government of Chinese people.
Can Chinese man-made island have an EEZ? It can't, based on UNCLOS that was ratified by China and the Philippines. Can the sea be claimed by any state based on a mere map they own? No it can't. If it would be the basis then the US must also claim South China Sea for they have maps of it ante-dated that of the pre-communist map that they insist.
As for the Philippines we also have maps of the Spratly and the Bajo de Masinloc or Scarborough Shoal surveyed by the Americans in our colonial times that was archived in the US.
