Kapag malapit na yung undas, ang dami kong napapanuod na mga documentary sa TV tungkol sa mga kababalaghan: Multo, aswang, engkanto at mga lamang-lupa. I would like to focus on what we call ENGKANTO. Hindi po ako supernatural expert at wala din po akong sayad. I just happen to know some "STUFF". I will not be explaining anymore how I got this knowledge and I am not asking you to believe me but what I am about to share is TRUE.
Skeptics are welcome to comment.
Anyway.........
Madami sa atin dito sa Samar ang nakarinig na tungkol sa mahiwagang lugar na BIRINGAN CITY or ARAW CITY. Totoo po ito. Meron po talagang ganitong lugar. Gusto ko pong linawin na magkaiba ang mga lamang-lupa (Kapre, tikbalang, nuno sa punso, duwende, etc.) sa mga engkanto. Magkaiba ang kanilang mundo at pinanggalingan. At halos kalahati ng mga kwento at haka-haka tungkol sa lugar na 'to ay pawang kathang isip at imahinasyon lamang. Let me shed some light on this place and its entities.
Like human beings they also sleep, eat, and die as well. The only difference is they live longer than our life expectancy. It is not true that they abduct people and leave them dead allegedly replacing their bodies with some dead log. Often times people will ask why they can't see Biringan, it does exist but spells are being chanted for them to remain hidden from the prying eyes of those who wanted to exploit their land. Now the manifestation of their place in it's physical form is what they call Kalinata or changing of the guardians of their portals.
They invite mortals from the human world not necessarily pure of heart like those fairy tales but people whom they think can help them in some ways and in return they reward them with prosper life. But before they return humans they say a chant that would have clear their recollection of the place. Hours in their place could mean days in our time. In their place they don't reject technology but it is being highly discouraged. They don't use electricity for they are given the greatest energy of all, the air and the sun.
Never fear the Engkanto because they are not murderers contrary to all those myths circulating in this world. Some Engkanto have the privilege to cross in this world and some of their clans even study in our schools for them to learn more about the human world. They co-exist in this so-called universe one way or another.
Long before anything about technology, they already are in contact with some of the people in our world, teaching us of the right ways and how to achieve a nirvana like society. Unfortunately the nature of some humans get in the way, "Greed". They have given them portion of their land but what have we done? Quarried for minerals, chopped down the trees and so on all for money. They so much desire to live with humans but this incident made them aware that we all are not yet ready to embrace their ways. They don't have the principle of money and they even don't understand why it should be invented in the first place.
Biringan City or Araw City is actually called "Mahaniha" in their world. It is not a dream world, paradise nor a modern city with high rise buildings and luxurious cars as we all hear from different stories. They don't look like humans as well. However, they are made up of the same structure as the human body and they can wear and change their looks as they cross our world. It is a spell to enchant humans to see them like ordinary people.
They are given the pass to cross this world but in human time they are only privileged to stay for 35 something years cause they grow old very very slow and that would bring curiosity to most people. They will be allowed to be back again in the proper time.
I am not here to convince you to believe me. Again, wala po akong sayad. Trip ko lang talaga. Believing in something is not to be labelled of crazy. The problem with humans is that we understand that we have greater power than we think only if we understand how to discard our perception about reality. Those who unlocked the secrets most of time go into hiding for the fear of being labelled as a freak or a threat to humanity. But, whatever..
