Description

November in the Philippines marks a special season of the year. Apart from celebrating All Saints Day and commemorating our departed loved ones during All Souls Day, it is also the time when the family gathers together, don costumes for Halloween parties, and share spooky tales, with Philippine mythical creatures like aswang are in the spotlight again.

Aligning with the recently concluded Barangay and SK elections last October 30, let us shed light on the famous teniente del barrio (equivalent to barangay captain today) in the town of Dueñas, called Teniente Gimo who was rumored to belong to a clan of aswang.
