Takot Ako I'm Scurred

Welcome to the Sherwin-M podcast, a podcast about the adventures of being Filipino-American. I am your host, Sherwin, and in this episode, I am not alone. I have my buddy, Charles, once again. How’s it going, Charles? It’s going good, going good.

That’s good, man. So, some of you may remember him from the episode about basketball. So, he’s with me once again, and we’re going to have fun with this episode. So, this is episode 14, and I titled it, Takot Ako, which is Tagalog, and in English, it’s translated to, I’m scarred. So, it’s early October, and I decided I wanted to do kind of like a Halloween-themed episode.

So, that’s what this episode is going to be about. Sort of, because in the Filipino culture, we don’t really celebrate, like officially, we don’t celebrate Halloween, because Filipinos, for the most part, in Philippines, we’re Catholic, right? That’s like the main religion, I guess, and Halloween is considered a pagan holiday, right? Okay, yeah. So, rather than like pass out candles.

Candy, and dress up, most of us, or most of them over there, prepare for a different holiday, one that occurs the following day, November 1st. So, that is what we call All Saints Day. So, it’s like a day we remember those who have passed away. Now, November 2nd is All Souls Day. So, pretty much, those who didn’t celebrate.

They don’t celebrate All Saints Day on November 1st, they celebrate on November 2nd, and it’s called All Souls Day. Okay, I’ve never heard of that one. Oh, really? Yeah, I’ve heard of All Saints, but not the All Souls Day. It gets really busy.

This is actually a huge thing. So, many people travel long distances to visit those who have passed away, because maybe they no longer live in the original place that they were raised at. Yeah. So, like, maybe they were born and raised in the province, and then they moved to the city, but, you know, their close relatives were, you know, laid to rest from their original place. So, those who are in the city would travel, like, via bus, maybe ferry, and they go back just to, you know, visit their relatives who are no longer with us.

Okay. So, that’s really kind of like what Halloween is. But, the other reason why it’s not really officially celebrated is chocolates are very expensive. I mean, if you think chocolates here are expensive, it’s even more expensive, especially those that are imported, those that are not from the Philippines. Oh, okay.

Yeah. So, like, M&M’s and Hershey’s and all that. Like, chocolate. Not hard candy. Not hard candy, but, like, chocolate chocolate, imported chocolate.

It’s very expensive. So, why would you give that away? You want to keep that for yourself, right? And on top of that, like, you got to buy costumes or you got to, well, you can make costumes. There’s a lot of great, like, tailors over there, but it’s still, like, it’s not really officially celebrated.

Although, the country is becoming more westernized, I guess they’re starting to recognize it, but for the most part. For the most part, it’s just All Saints Day and All Souls Day. Okay. Yeah. Well, they don’t have to give away chocolate.

They could just give away other candy. I know. Well, then no one would want it because it’s, like, I could just go down the corner store and get it, right? Well, same here. The kids could get the same candy they get on Halloween anytime they want.

It’s just free. Yeah. Yeah. I remember growing up, we would try to hit up this place called Heritage. It’s, like, a, I guess, above average community.

We all do that. Oh, but when we were- For the full-size candies, right? That? It’s the full-size candy and the “good candy,” quote, unquote, good candy, right? Not the bootleg candy, not the fake chocolate, right?

Yeah. The name brand. Yes, the name brand. You want Snickers. It was like, I want Snickers, not just chocolate bar.

Not like Biggers. Yeah, or chocolate, just the word chocolate bar. Yeah. Yeah. I remember when I was a kid, I was like, “Oh, I want Snickers.”

I was like, “Oh, I want Snickers.” I was like, “Oh, I want Snickers.” I was like, “Oh, I want Snickers.” And also, we found places where they actually just gave out dollar bills instead of candy. Oh, nice.

Yeah. Yeah. So, we would hit up, like, back in the day, we would just hit up, because we knew, like, that neighborhood just gave up dollar bills. That’s what they gave out. So, yeah.

But yeah. So, then why am I doing an episode about Halloween? When they don’t really celebrate Halloween in the Philippines? Well, I wanted to share some stories as well as, I guess, folklore, you know, like monsters and just stories, right? Uh-huh.

So, in Tagalog, we would call, like, ghosts and monsters and spirits, multo, M-U-L-T-O, multo, or the more famous term, if maybe you’ve heard it, maybe your wife has said it. MUMU. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh.

So, I remember, like, growing up and with my kids, I would do this to my kids, too. But I would… That’s when I heard it.

When she was talking to our baby. Yeah. Don’t go there, right? Yeah. Don’t go there.

The MUMU’s there. It’s gonna get you. Right? That’s very common in our culture. Like, we would always try to scare youngins about, like, you know, if you don’t want them to go upstairs, because they may fall down, you know, on the stairs or get hurt or, you know, that’s…

Yeah. That’s very common in our culture. Like, you know, if you don’t want them to go upstairs, because they may fall down, you know, on the stairs or get hurt or, you know, that’s always the, you know, don’t go over there. The MUMU’s gonna get you. So, that’s what…

That’s the term we always use. So, there are different types, I guess, of ghost monsters and all that, right? And so, I had to look it up in Wikipedia just to get a better explanation of it, because I always…

I always stutter and just… I don’t want to miss anything. So, the first thing is called…

And this is hard to pronounce, even though I know… It’s like a tongue twister. It’s a manananggal.

Manananggal. So, manananggal, I guess, if you were to translate it, is to, like, to remove or to separate. And so, I’m gonna read a little excerpt from…

Wikipedia to maybe make more sense of it. So, Wikipedia says that… It’s often hideous, usually depicted as female, and always capable of severing its upper torso and sprouting huge bat-like wings to fly into the night in search of its victims.

So, that’s why it’s called manananggal. So, the word manananggal comes from the Tagalog word tanggal, which means to remove or to separate. Let’s see. Yeah. One who separates itself.

The name also originates from an expression used for a severed torso. The manananggal is said to favor preying on sleeping pregnant women using an elongated probosis? Proboscis? Like, man, copy and paste, but I can’t read that, man. Proboscis-like tongue to suck the hearts of fetuses or the blood of someone who is sleeping.

The severed lower torso is left standing and is more vulnerable of the two halves. Sprinkling salt, smearing crushed garlic or ash on top of the standing torso. The upper torso is fatal to the creature. The upper torso then would not be able to rejoin itself and would perish by sunrise. So, that’s the whole, like, quick description of manananggal.

Okay. I didn’t know some of that stuff. I knew of it. I’ve heard stories of it, but I didn’t know of it. You just knew it was a monster?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don’t come get me. Yeah, I could see, like, how it looks like, but I never knew all that other stuff. So, it’s like, wow, okay. See, I’m even learning.

So, the next thing I looked up, we call her White Lady. We got plenty of that in America, right? Yep. Be careful on that one. Well, the term, or I guess the person that’s being described as White Lady in the Filipino culture is, I don’t know.

I’m going to read it from Wikipedia again. It’s a type of female ghost dressed in all white, reportedly seen in a rural area and associated with some local legend or tragedy. In other instances, it is said that when solitary people drive on that street in the early morning, they briefly see the face of a white-clad woman in the rearview mirror before she quickly disappears. Some accidents on this road are blamed on apprehension. It’s a type of female ghost dressed in all white, reportedly seen in a rural area and associated with some local legend or tragedy.

In other instances, it is said that when solitary people drive on that street in the early morning, they briefly see the face of a white-clad woman in the rearview mirror before she quickly disappears. Some historians speculate that the legend was propagated by the Spanish to prevent Filipinos from assisting any escaped African slaves they sometimes imported from Latin America. That’s interesting.

I didn’t know that part. Like the whole Arabic word and the whole like Spanish thing and African slaves. I didn’t even know there was any African slaves with the Spanish, right? I didn’t know that. I didn’t.

I didn’t even know that. So it’s a trip. So I think that is the one that they had on Grimm, right? I didn’t really watch. No, it was a different one.

Oh, it was? It came like during the sleep. It was almost like the first one you said, but it didn’t have wings. Oh, okay. It did come at night, but it wasn’t feeding on just anybody.

Oh, I see. Okay. But I thought it had a name like that, that cupra cabra or something like that. Yeah. Scared when he saw it, though.

So those are like just some examples of like ghost monsters and stuff. I mean, we’re in the holiday spirit or Halloween spirit right now, right? Because it’s getting close. So aside from that, I just wanted to share some stories, some that were shared with me or to me and then others that actually happened to me. Um, so I actually, let’s see, I have, uh, five stories and I don’t know which one I’m going to pick first.

Um, let’s go with, okay. So this story, um, I, I overheard like my cousin shared with me and it’s regarding, um, the white lady. So apparently, I guess there was this, um, taxi driver. Who had a fair, like he was, he was, um, working at night, late at night. And, um, he, he picked up a fair, um, side of the street.

It was a lady in white and, um, taxi driver letter letter in is like, Hey, uh, where do you wish to go, man? My hair is standing up right now, man. So, so the, the lady gave the taxi cab driver like the answer. The address and stuff. Right.

And so, so they go, they go, you know, take, took about maybe 20 minutes, 25 minutes to get to where they needed to go. And so, so the cab driver stops in front of the house. Um, and, and the told the lady like, okay, this is your destination. And like, she began to cry and didn’t want to get out of the car. And so, um, the, the, the driver was like, um, uh, you’re here.

You know, what’s wrong. Please don’t cry and like pay me, you know? Uh, and then so, so I can go about my way. Wouldn’t, wouldn’t like leave just, just, just very upset, sad. And so the taxi driver finally like got out of the car and then, uh, walked to the house and knocked on the door.

Maybe hopefully he can get some help to help him get the lady out of his cab. I mean, he would, he assumed that this is where the lady lived cause that’s where she wanted to get dropped off. So knocks on the door. Someone opens up and said, um, uh, could you, could you help me? Because, um, I believe I’m dropping off someone, um, and she lives here and this, this, and this stuff like that.

Right. And so, um, so the guy just gave him like this weird look, like what, what did she, what does she look like? Like, you know, there’s nobody here that lives here, you know? So the, the cab driver started describing, um, how the lady looks, uh, uh, in the back of his cab. And then the guy just had this pale face and just started becoming sad.

And so, um, so the guy was like, you know, you just described, it was either his daughter or his wife or his sister. I couldn’t really remember. And then the taxi cab was like, well, you need to get her out of my cab because, um, so I can, you know, get paid and, and go about my business. He’s like. Like, you know, she passed away, like, you know, some time ago.

And so when they ran to the cab, nobody was there. Oh my goodness. Yeah. She said, so like the, the white lady stories are usually associated with hitchhikers. Okay.

And, and, and they’re with the hopes of discouraging people from hitchhiking, I guess. So that’s like, don’t, it’s like, don’t pick up. Don’t pick up strange people at night. Yeah. So then like, I have a story of a white lady, but mine is not associated with like hitchhiking or anything with the road when I was a young kid.

So I lived in Manila. I was born in Manila and I lived there and we, um, we stayed at this apartment. Well, we called it an apartment, but it’s really a house. We rented a house and, um, in front of our house, uh, was this giant tree and I can still picture it. Um, you know, and I could always remember times at night when I’m on the second floor, there’s a window in front of, uh, in our bedroom facing the front yard where there’s a giant tree.

Um, I always have like this blurry memory of just looking out and just seeing something white and bright in the tree. And I would always tell like my aunt, you know, like, Hey, I’m seeing this and this and that. And so they would always tell me, yeah, there’s a white lady that lives in that tree, but I never, like I was, I was young. Like I was like maybe four or five, so, you know, like whatever. Right.

But now when I think about that, man, you know, like, but the memories are always blurry. Like there’s never a clear, you know, just remembering an instance. It was always blurry. Like I always see that though. And no one else sees it.

No one else has seen it. So, yeah. So that’s my little story of my white lady encounter, I guess, but yeah. So, so that’s the second story. This third story, uh, my friend Jeff told me, so he, um, he, he was in the Philippines.

Um, where at that time it was his fiance, they’re not married, but, um, he was staying with their family and I guess, um, he was like maybe semi drunk or something. So he, um, he was in his bedroom and by himself and he was like half asleep. He was telling me, yeah, I was half asleep. Um, and I turned when I turned on one side, there’s this, um, like dresser or, you know, like they, you open them up and you could hang clothes in there. But they’re not really a closet.

Is that a dresser? Oh, okay. I don’t know. I don’t know. What is it?

Like an amour or whatever. Yeah. I’m not like a furniture. I don’t know what it’s there. I don’t know what it’s called.

It’s the thing in beauty and the beast. Yeah. Yeah. Like you could open it up and you could put like jackets, coats, whatever. Right.

Yeah. But there’s a, the door has a mirror mirror on there. So he was saying, um, yeah, so he, he was like half asleep, he turned, you know how half asleep, and when you turn, you kind of wake up and then you’re going to try to go back to bed, you know, try to go back to sleep. So, so he turns on his side and then he, he just had a quick glance at, at that, uh, what is it? Armoire?

Armoire, whatever. Yeah. Armoire. Yeah. And, and, um, so his eye focused on the mirror.

And so, so when he looked at the mirror, he saw a lady cause the mirror is face down. Uh huh. Facing, um, towards the window. Yeah. He could see the reflection behind him.

Yeah. The reflection. Uh huh. And then the reflection is the, the window. Mm-hmm.

Um, and so he, he saw a lady standing like by the window. Oh my goodness. And he’s like, man, what the hell is there like a peeping Tom or like, and he doesn’t recognize who the lady was cause he did, he, he’s already met the people that lived in the house. Mm-hmm. Um, and so I was like, what the, you know?

And, and that woke, like now he’s awake. He’s like, man, am I gonna tell my fiance there was a girl here? Like, what’s up, man? So he, he’s now awake and then he turns, uh, you know, the, the opposite direction. So he could actually look at the, that area.

Uh-huh. There was nobody there. Mm-hmm. And then he quickly looks back at the mirror. Like, why would you double take dude?

Yeah. Yeah. Like, why am I seeing it on the mirror, but not there? And there was no one in the mirror anymore. Mm-hmm.

I was like, man, dude, I don’t know, dude. Yeah. And they weren’t married yet. And you know, the whole thing about, uh, your guys are supposed to sleep on separate bedrooms and you know, blah, blah, blah. Mm-hmm.

I’d have been like, look, future in-laws, um, somebody gotta sleep with me cause this ain’t happening again. He’s like, I ain’t gonna be by myself. Yeah. Yeah, man. So I was like, oh, dang.

Yeah. So that’s. I watched all those movies. When you’re by yourself, you’re not safe. Yeah.

I don’t like how those end. So I don’t want to be that. Yeah. So that, that’s another story. So I got, I got two more.

One, one about my grandfather and one about me again. Okay. So this story was actually passed down. Um, my, it’s my dad’s dad. It happened to my dad’s dad.

And my dad was the one that told me cause my grandfather actually passed away when I was like really young. But. Okay. So I was like, okay. So I was like, okay.

So I was like, okay. So I was like, okay. So I was like, okay. So I was like, okay. So I was like, okay.

Oh, okay. you know over there like there are no fences it’s like the there’s a path a dirt path and then right next to it is the cemetery and then um there’s some graves that um they just dig and they put the coffin and then they cover it with dirt that’s it oh so unmarked not really unmarked but you know it’s just depending on i guess how much the family could afford right so you know the more that that are able to afford it can have a nicer gravesite or whatever okay so so between the two villages there’s this skinny path um that you would travel across excuse me and um right next to it is um a cemetery so i guess uh when my grandfather was still alive um he would have to go to the other side of the village to to the next village um it’s not it’s not that far it’s like quarter of a mile and um so he he would have to go to the well and get water so and he he had this like um long stick and on each end of the stick is like uh buckets on a rope the bucket you know right yep yeah i got a picture in my head uh-huh yeah so um so he would he would go to the well he would get some water fill up the buckets and then he he goes back to our place and he had to cross the um um the cemetery yeah so buckets are full walk in everything’s all good but why is it though as he passes the cemetery and clears it half his water is gone and when he looks back there there’s no drop of water okay so he didn’t drop any he didn’t drop any i mean why and he tries his best not to because he’s worked hard pumping the well right yeah so so that was the story that was shared every time he passes through the cemetery half the buckets are always gone oh wow did you hear that man i don’t know man so i knew about that um i knew about that uh story and so i was older i traveled back i think i was like in college already um when this happened um this story i wasn’t about to share so um there is a basketball court on the other on the next village and um my aunt um i always borrow her like scooter it’s not a motorcycle but a scooter i guess and i would i would just ask to borrow it because i don’t want to walk that the basketball court is actually a bit further than the well so there you got ghost over there man yeah the ghosts are coming out so um so yeah so i would ride the motor the motorcycle to the basketball court and i would i would play some pickup games and so one time i had um i had a white shirt on and i was just playing ball and um no one really wanted to to play so we just um because you know how in our basketball episode like in order to have any activities on the court you gotta have you gotta involve gambling yeah wager yeah nobody wanted to run up and down um so we just you know just um bet it on who can shoot like it’s kind of like horse but um oh okay yeah so if you make it then other people have to make it but if you miss you don’t get a letter you just have to give up money okay so um you know i mean it’s it’s hot over there i sweat easily and so um so we just did it for a few hours and stuff and um and it’s getting dark it’s getting dark and i’m already sweating just from shooting around because it’s just humidity and the weather i’m not used to it and i was like oh dude i’m gonna go man because it’s getting dark and i gotta cross that cemetery um yeah and so it’s yeah by the time i hit that area it was already dark i was like damn dude i mean i could i could spend a night on the village where i was at because i had family there also but i didn’t want to be a bother and i’m like come on man i’m i’m i’m old i’m like in college i got a motorcycle i can just like a man yeah yeah i’m a man who who i can just gun on this motor i could just drive quick you don’t have any buckets of water so you good i’m good i’m good i’m good you know i think i could break through this path in three four seconds you know if i just just you know floored it just go yeah yeah i mean but but at the end of the bridge so you can’t gun it all the way uh okay gun it all the way to to the house you gotta slow down or you’re and then at night it’s high tide so you don’t want to fall there no and it’s it’s dark the the light you have is the motorcycle light and the moon and the moon yeah because this is the this is the province in that island and there’s no electricity so they use the diesel generators and not everyone has generators no one can not many can afford it so you you can pass houses too but it’s like candlelit so so i approach i approach the uh cemetery area and i’m like you know i’m just trying to hype myself up yeah yeah man there’s nothing man whatever you know i i’m from america now like this stuff don’t happen you know this you know blah blah blah all those stories you know yada yada that ain’t gonna work on me that ain’t gonna happen man so um in the the the entry area where the semi- cemetery starts that’s actually where um like family members are arresting um that’s where they’re buried my great grandmother is there and my great grandfather’s there and then my aunts and uncles a couple of them uh are there also but at that time it was just my my great grandfather and my great grandmother um my my great grandmother i actually um like i met her um she she passed away she was over 100 years old so oh wow yeah it was her husband that i i didn’t really meet but the story was my dad’s dad so that would have been like i guess like the son-in-law or something but anyway so so um yeah so come come up on the uh cemetery and i’m like oh dude let’s go and i just gun it right and i just you know floored the motorcycle and just left um like within a second after i start heading into the cemetery and i’m sweating right um i felt this like cold breeze in my back just cold breeze right and i was like oh dude and i’m like trying my hardest to just even go faster dude and so so so i made it out i made it i’m good and then i i come up on the bridge so i slowed down and then you know ease my way across the bridge and then um got off the bridge and i continued to the on the path and um went home and then um so i got home parked the parked the ride went in and um you know my aunt was there he’s like man where you been man it’s night nighttime oh i got caught up just playing basketball just shooting around and stuff he’s like man you’re all sweating i’m like yeah i’m gonna go to the hospital i’m gonna go to the hospital i’m gonna go to the hospital yeah i’m not used to this weather you know this and that um and he’s like you even got a handprint on your back what happened and then i’m like what are you talking about what are you talking about man and then i’m like that’s impossible because i didn’t like play basketball for someone to be like putting their hand on my back i we were just shooting around i’m like yeah man so i took off my shirt real quick there was a handprint on my back because i was sweating right and then i’m like so i told i told my aunt like yeah you know you know we had to go to that cemetery

that handprint wasn’t there before i went to go play basketball and that handprint didn’t and you didn’t really play i didn’t play basketball we just were just shooting around and my hand can’t like i can’t reach on the back of that area and just like pat myself on the back yeah man so that oh i don’t know dude so they were like just kind of like patting you along saying go ahead that’s what my
