Real Phoenix bird lived in a Human-Sucker Spring Lagoon of Tamawo and aswang

From the oral account of Benjie Calesar of Bohol Island.

There's a mysterious lagoon in our mountainous village where countless of banishment occurred. There were no traces of banishment as if  all  the missing persons in it, were devoured completely  by unknown force that dwell in that lagoon. Elders said that the lagoon is a playground of the flaming phoenix bird called bueacao or bulalakaw.

There's a spring that feeds the lagoon. It was located beside the trunk of a big tree where it shaded the lagoon with its sprawling branches.the place was a favorite washing area of the villager.One of the banishment occurred at midday. My neighbor Myrna went to the lagoon to wash clothes. It was a hot day but she never mind it for she knew that the lagoon was shaded.

That afternoon, she never returned home. Her parents searched for her at the lagoon but all they found were the clothes that were already washed and neatly piled at the basin.
There were no traces of their daughter. They searched the narrow lagoon but it was shallow and there were no holes on it to suck any creatures the size of human.

The local medicine man told them that their daughter was spirited away to other dimension where supernatural being called  aswang or Engkantos or Elves dwell. He told them that she was trapped for she had eaten their food, especially the violet colored delicacy.
