CAPTIVATING CAPIZ: A Journey Into the Myth

Here in CAPTIVATING Capiz, a lot of speculations about the existence of aswangs roaming its grounds have been spreading. A lot of aswang stories also surfaced, here's one example but it's a bit short.... so I'll try to be abducted by aswangs and tell you all about it (PALABAUN KU GD) hehe....

It was a rainy night that time. A young expectant mother was sewing a dress for her baby. Suddenly she felt something playing down her leg as if a thread like material. She became aware of a red looking tread. She tried and tried to brush it off, but it was so stubborn that she decided to take the shear and stripped it. As she did it, she suddenly heard a sharp cry out of nowhere. It was then followed by a heavy thud the ground and a flutter of heavy wings. She suddenly realized that her baby's life was almost taken by an aswang.

O, Capiz, also known as the Capiz Hymn, is the official provincial anthem of the province of Capiz in the Philippines. The hymn, which bested 24 other entries in a province-sponsored competition, was written by Charmaine O. Guartero, a high school music teacher at Filamer Christian College.

(Peepz,, I just want you to know that we need to be in the first 20+ results when you search google, we are currently in number 31 so please support us!!!! tnx)

The early Panayanon believed in many gods. Bulalakaw, a bird which looked like a peacock and could cause illness, was said to live in the island's sacred mountain called Madya-as. A chief goddess was believed to reside in the mountain of the nearby island of Negros Occidental. She was called Laon, after whom Mt. Kanlaon is named. Mediators to the gods, also said to be the first priests, were: Bangutbanwa, who prayed for good harvests and an orderly universe; Mangindalon, who interceded for sick persons and prayed for the punishment of enemies; and Soliran and Solian, who performed marriage ceremonies. Manunubo was the good spirit of the sea.

The kama-kama are dwarves living in earth mounds, and are lazy and fun loving. The tamawu/taglugar are spirits that can be either friendly or evil. They live in resplendent palaces that look like mere boulders to the human eye. When they find a human being attractive, they entice the person to join them; this peculiar act of courtship is called yanggaw. The dwindi is a dwarf residing in a mount of earth. The lulid sa bungsud has a big head, but a small torso and limbs. One who disturbs the mound where it resides falls ill. The agta is a very dark, hairy person living in the forest. Although a trickster, it is helpful to people. The amamanhig is a dead person who has returned to life and simply echoes everything that mortals say; it has lost the power to think. Hiwit or barang is a ritual that gives one of the power to inflict pain on an enemy.

Captivating CAPIZ; a Common Corner for Aswang Covenants?

Having grown up in Captivating Capiz, we moderators would like to inform all those readers out there everything we know about our beloved city as much as possible; not to mention the fact that we are being graded for this thingy... so please, if you are a constant visitor, Candice's admirer or just happened to view our blogspot by mistake, please support us in every way possible.

Captivating CAPIZ as we may know has a lot of history to it. It has many interesting things to talk about such as its culture, political status, education, geography and much more. But what the heck, we're merely teenagers so the hell we care about all those stuff!!! We are more concerned about the people or should I say creatures that roam its grounds... better known as the aswangs... An Aswang is a mythical in Filipino Folklore. It's an inherently evil vampire-like creature and is the subject of a wide variety of myths and stories, the details of which often vary greatly.

The wide variety of descriptions in the aswang stories make it difficult to settle upon a fixed definition of aswang appearances . However, several common themes that differentiate aswangs from other mythological creatures do emerge: Aswangs are shapeshifters. Stories recount aswangs living as regular townspeople in meat processing professions by day. As regular townspeople, they are quiet, shy and elusive. At night, they transform into creatures that enjoy eating unborn fetuses and small children, favoring livers and hearts (HALA KAMU!!!) They also happen to make weird noises in amidst of an attack so if you hear something outside your house,,, (dalagan na!!!!!)

But our blog's main concern is to be on top of the lists when you type the word Capiz in the internet, so I thought what better way of doin' so but by typing the word Capiz once,,, or maybe twice,,,, or maybe a dozen times..... so here goes.... Hope it works..... ^_^
