Description
The Amazing Beasts of Philippine Mythology When You Have to Say: Excuse Me, Mister Monster Sir! Discover the fascinating creatures of Philippine mythology, where the ordinary and the extraordinary blend together. This captivating book introduces 56 mythical beings, each with its unique characteristics and habits. From the blood-sucking Mandurugos to the shape-shifting Busos, and from the terrifying Tik-tiks to the suffocating Batibats, every creature is brought to life through vibrant and imaginative illustrations. In this bilingual compendium, you'll learn about the creatures that live among us, in secret burrows, hollow trees, and underwater caverns. To show respect, you'll need to know the phrase "Tabi-tabi po", meaning "Kindly step aside, Sir, and allow me to pass". With this book, you'll be introduced to a supernatural realm where the boundaries between reality and myth blur.
