Bong, is a former security detail of the President of the Philippines. He can cure people who was said to have been punished by elementals. Show him a picture of a missing person and he will tell you where the person is, alive or dead. He can tell if a pregnant lady is carrying a boy or a girl by just looking at the way she walks. One more thing, he cannot be hit by bullets. I sometimes see him, and still with his very old motorcycle, his state in life never changed, his physical appearance did.
Glenn is a soldier; in the very middle of a road crossing he buried a black cat, after 6 months he dug the cats' grave, getting a particular bone from the cat. What bone is it? I don't know. How many bones are there in a cat? This is what it's for. We call it “taga-bulag”. “Bulag” in English is “Blind”. People can't see Glenn but he is there. He is invisible. Glenn told me he has a problem though. Whenever he chooses to be invisible he can see every ghost, every dwarf, and every evil creature that is invisible to normal people. He doesn't want to use it anymore, the “other” world is scarier he said.
Jun, his grandfather is dying in bed. He asked Shirly, Jun's sister to take his “Anting-anting” from him for Jun doesn't want it. Shirly did not accept it too. With no one to take his powers, he spit it out of the window; a booming sound and a gushed of wind followed and all the banana trees in their backyard fell to the ground. Jun's grandfather is often generous. Once there was a birthday celebration in their house and Jun and his friends have no more money to buy beer. He jokingly asked his grandfather if he can have money. His grandpa tore a piece of leaf; he said some Latin words, and the leaf turned into five hundred pesos. Magic? They bought beer alright but he was instructed by his grandfather not to accept the change if there is, OR get the change but drop it to the ground right away, for if Jun accepts the change, the money his grandpa gave him will turn back to a leaf.
So Far. One historian even said that there was a record that when the Spaniards with Ferdinand Magellan discovered the Philippines. The natives were walking on water.
