"Hi Sir, i've been following you on google + sometimes i read your quotes or advices because sometimes yun yung advice pala na hinahanap ko that day. sobrang galing po hindi ko alam kung coincidence or alam niyo lang kung sino yung magbabasa that time. :) 

"May concern lang po ako, hindi naman po ako naniniwala sa mga aswang pero may paulit ulit na sinasabi yung sister in law ko dito sa may area namin. Last night 4am na hindi pa rin ako makatulog may naririnig akong naglalakad sa katabing bubong ng kwarto ko na parang singm bigat ng tao, parang lilipad, babalik at maglalalad onti then may para sipol na mahina tapos pag mawawala yung tunog ng lakad nya may mga aso na tumutunog. nanganak na kasi yung kapitbahay naming buntis and wala sila dito so hindi ko alam kaya parang nagwawala siya? first time ko po narinig kasi kagabi. should we be worried? hindi ko po alam kung mababaw po ito para sa inyo pero what can we do po kaya, nirerespeto ko naman po sila kung dito sila nagddwell pero sana po hindi nila kami sobrang takutin. 

"one more thing may nagsabi po samin na tanggalin daw po namin yung puno ng chico kasi dun daw maraming nagddwell na mga paniki or malalaking ibon. 

"thank you po. have a blessed week."


My answer: 

Hi ________!

Thank you for your message. Yes, my posts are deliberately for my Followers.

As to the "asuwang" in question (I still spell it "asuwang" rather than "aswang" because of the root word "asu" or "big dog" which the creature shapeshifts into), ask trusted people to investigate and observe activities in your neigborhood during those hours. The portals and pathways that folkloric archetypes use are the very same portals and pathways used by rats, cats, robbers, rapists, and murderers, which is why all of them are "creatures of the night". 

I believe in "asuwangs" only with the psychological codicil that they are "visible" to a small group of people--two to five, perhaps. "Asuwangs" are strong projections from within the psyche when it is in distress, and usually manifest under altered states of consciousness such as neurotic fear, intoxication, and the like. This is the same thing that happens when a group of people are huddled around a Ouija board--the expressions of the board are mere emanations of the group's collective subconscious, typically negative because that is what is expected, so that everyone around the board hears and sees the same things.

Having said that, I will admit that I have encountered such entitites, but they were few and far between and not standard occurrences, and I have used certain objects, rituals, and countermeasures against such things. I will not, however, recommend any lest you go on a hunting spree and get ripped off by fake practitioners. You would then tell your friends to do the same thing, and they would tell friends of their friends to do same, until, sometime in the near future, there would be an antidote panic and entire masses of people would file and red-flag the "asuwang" within their minds.

Indeed, the most dangerous shapeshifting of all is the shapeshifting of immature imagination.

For you, my best advice is to rely on faith and prayer, keeping in mind always that fear is the reverse of faith. As long as you have true faith and a pure heart, you will prevail against anything diabolic.

I would also keep the chico tree alive. God's birds and bats--and trees--have the right to have their own habitat, and, as long as none of them are harming you, I know that everything will be all right.
