In this episode of Stories Philippines Podcast, we explore the fascinating world of the Aswang, a shape-shifting monster deeply rooted in Filipino folklore. Discover how the tales of the Aswang predate Spanish colonization, with early accounts documented by Spanish priest Juan de Placencia. We discuss the significant role this creature plays in shaping societal beliefs and practices, from community suspicions to unique customs surrounding the dead.

The Aswang embodies resilience in Filipino culture, reflecting the community's grappling with fears related to infant mortality and disease. Its transformative nature symbolizes the fear of the unknown and tensions arising from outside influences disrupting traditional life.

Join us for an engaging conversation that highlights the adaptability of folklore and its evolution over time, showcasing the rich diversity of Filipino culture. We encourage listeners to share their own stories related to Filipino folklore, helping keep our cultural traditions alive.
