Re: Mama Rose's story: The Umagad of the Mandaya is a cognate of "Umalagad" in Bisaya (originally literally "Guardian [spirit]") and "Umagad" in Tausug ("spirit"/"courage") - a synonym of "Kalag" or "Kaduwa" in Bisaya and Bikol, and "Kaluluwa" in Tagalog. Pre-colonial Filipinos believed the humans are composed of two or more souls. The body soul(s) and the free soul. The "Umalagad" is the "free soul" (or "astral soul") , as opposed to the "body soul" ("Ginhawa"/"Hininga" - "breath of life"). If your body soul dies, you die. But the free soul does not die. Instead you move on to the spirit world. The free soul also regularly leaves the body during sleep and journeys to the spirit world (hence dreams). The loss of the free soul while you are still alive results in insanity and other psychological illnesses. One of the main duties of the Babaylan (shamans) was to heal or return free souls. Babaylan can also freely detach their free souls, allowing other spirits to possess them, or to journey elsewhere. Regarding the Spanish take. The Kapre are not real folklore. They originate from an early Spanish term for the Negritos - Cafre (derived from Arabic Kaffir = meaning a Black African). Negrito tribes resisted Spanish colonization and sometimes attacked lowlander farmers that encroached on their territory during the Spanish period, hence the creation of the stories about them to scare children. The Duende and the Encanto are simply Spanish equivalents of what were again, once, the anito (spirits). The non-human anito often took the form of small humans, birds, insects, beautiful humans, or old humans. The tikbalang was originally shapeshifting monster, that appeared as a helpless person to travelers but shifts to become a monster. It became horse-like in descriptions only during the Spanish period. These are examples of demonization. What were once the "gods" of pre-colonial Filipinos became demons once they converted to Christianity. Indonesia and Malaysia went through the same thing. Their ancestor spirits (the Hantu) became demons once they converted to Islam.
Omg! Mama rose story Maka relate ko because that's what my mom told us when we were young. Bring back memories Kulas I love and enjoy watching your videos and love your beautiful home a lot.
Folklores in the Philippines; aswangs, tikbalangs, mananangals, kapre, as explained by Mama Rose were created by the Friars during those years seemed plausible.
I love to reminisce about childhood scary stories of aswangs, manananggals and kapres that our parents used to tell us when we misbehaved. Funny how the versions varied from one generation to the next! Love your beach house, by the way!
Mythical creatures are part of our culture and traditions that has been handed down by our ancestors thru generations,part of us being Filipinos.nice kumar,Jandee and madman ,modern tikbalang in deed🤗🤗🤗power on keep safe always Kamong tanan and Godbless 🙏💕💕💕🇯🇵🇵🇭
Hello Kulas, at 14:56 in your video, I think that small tree behind you is a Bita-og, some called them Palomaria (Callophylum inophylum) that is a good tree to be lined up along that long stretch of beach in Catiil. I have been to Kribi, Cameroon and they have a long stretch of beach there lined by those trees in double/triple column. If you can talk with the LGU or the local DENR to help you raise some Bita-og seedlings that would be nice for beachfront protection. Unlike Talisay tree wherein there is a time when Talisay trees will be defoliated by some Til-as (worm larva), Bita-0g doesn't seem to host pest/harmfull insects.
HHah I really love this VLOG . So typical filipino . Storytelling about aswangs with your friends . Thanks kulas ! For reminding us how to be Filipinos / Filipinas again
House is coming along Kulas. Like the nice wood work next to the stairs. I like the lighting. Will there be lighting on the staircase which is important. I like the growing family of friends, dogs, chickens, and crabs. Thank you always for sharing what you and the boys are up to. Good to see Man Man pursuing education. I'm an advocate for academic learning. Mabuhay!
love jandi 🥰 . the more I watch your vlog the more I see jandi getting cuter and cuter . lol . but I love all your vlogs . helping people and everything. you deserve all the kindness in the world. more power !
Mama Rose is on point with the mythical creatures. The colonizers and their church messed everything up. Love your vlogs. Been watching you vlogs for years #decolonizeyourmind
The Spanish colonizers actually used both force and Catholicism to impose control and dominance. And why do the Philippines and the Filipino people still bear the name of a 16th-century Spanish king even now in the 21st century?
It is because you never encountered one. I personally didn’t experience it myself, but with all the stories I heard over the years from my family and relatives, It still puzzles me to this day. At family gatherings, my parents, aunts and uncles, would tell stories to us. I thought they were just made up stories to scare us, but when you have four or five members of the family giving the exact testimonies of their encounter with an Aswang, you will be obliged to listen. My late grandfather (may he Rest In Peace) was walking home (this was in a remote province in Looc, Romblon back in the late 50’s) from a long day working in the field. It was already getting dark, he met up with a woman whom he had never seen before. She was walking in the opposite direction towards him. He said good evening, but she kept walking with her head down. When he passed her he heard a grunting, guttural sound coming from behind him. When he looked back, he saw a large pig with glaring eyes coming after him. He took his sack pack and swung at it, but the aswang was too strong and he fell hard on the ground. He thought he was going to die that night, but he got away and ran all the way home. He was all shaken up and told everyone what happened. No one slept that night. My dad said he always brought his rifle with him ever since. That was just one of the stories I heard.
Morning Kulas.You are all our stress reliever.Enjoy watching your videos esp.you always smile/laugh like us,you are now a true filipino.😀😀😀Hope you and Therine will get married na😁
Okoy or Syokoy in Tagalog is almost the same as the lake monsters. We also believe in Mama Rose's story that if you don't eat your meal at night, your soul will wander around to look for food. Crazy but it's part of becoming Filipino 😊❤️
@@rassalas4638 true. So many myths and legends. Fun to go back tho. Dwende , tikbalang, kapre, manananggal, tiktik, punso, sirena and Syokoy. Oh and the most epic is Usog😊
The deck face is already showing signs of algae growth so I would consider that when planning. It’s easier to clean a smooth surface than a rough surface…
The segment on Kumar starting at 12:42 showing how a modern Tikbalang conducts its business now while on top of a tree is so hilarious!!!! I almost fell off my chair laughing!!!!
Hi Kulas, it’s already dawn here in the USA and I’m just enjoying watching all your old blogs😊 Luv the camaraderie you guys have with Jandee, Kumar & Madman.. Bless you all & Mabuhay !!! Keep showing the local life in the Philippines
19:42 - "Are you actually an aswang?" - Kulas. JonDee - " You'll never know...". Kulas, you should have edited-in after JonDee's sentence a clip of Vincent Price's laughter from the last part of Michael Jackson's song - "The Thriller". It would have had a creepier effect.
We have Big Foot in here. I saw one as I drive in the middle of the night in Sea to Sky Highway. The story of Kumar is true about the pig in High Heel shoes is right. That is the scary one.
Our parents would always used those kapre, soul being trapped in the kaldero at night, white lady, aswang, etc as "pang hadlok" when we were kids so we wont roam around everywhere at night and stay home😅 Even now im still scared of those characters😆😅
I agree mama rose... Even in another country in Asia that is very common i've heard the story about aswang etc .. but some of this are real there is peoples who can see it. ...
Hahaha this vlog made me laugh so much! The Mythical creatures - Like you, I don't believe but I respect. Although when I was young I apparently accidentally kicked a NUNO SA PUNSO (house of dwarves or some creatture) and I got so sick my mom had to take me to the quack doctor and they performed a healing thing on me called TAWAS. Ask mama Rose and the boys about that. It sounds good, putting the weave on that concrete area, and yes maybe some Nipa on the balcony roof. It will change the aesthetic of the house from being modern, but it will tie up more with the other structures and the overall look of your whole "Night club" hahahha. JOKE LANG, Kulas (peace😁) "Are you actually an Aswang?" "YOU'LL NEVER KNOW" (Cue Mythical creature sfx and creepy kikik sounds 🤣) I loveet! 😊💕
Am same generation as Mama Rose, we grew up with “fright discipline” by our elders. I grew up fearing just about anything and loss confidence. As I became independent and had children, I instilled not fear but CONFIDENCE and STRENGTH to my children. Same that my daughter progressively instilled with my grandchildren. Now, am glad my kids and grandkids visit cemeteries, be in the dark and confront myths with logic. In this world, we just have to respect nature around us. The biggest fear are the living evil humans.
Get an air fryer Kulas, fried foods not healthy. To prevent falls , install stair lights LED system or an automatic motion sending wireless LED safety lights.
So nice waking up at the beach house especially with good people around. Kulas u're such a nice person full of energy and positivity. Amping!, super apir.💪
We have the Loch Ness Monster known as Nessie in Scotland Kyle nice vlog my friend keep up the good work 👏 I myself live in England was born in Scotland keep up your fantastic vlog my friend so look forward to seeing them.
Just before Christmas in 2020 I heard the tik-tik on the roof of our house two nights in a row. On the following New Year's Eve I found out that a woman a couple of doors up from our house gave birth to a baby at Christmas time. I can tell you that the sound I heard certainly was not a gecko nor was it any bird I have heard around here (Barangay Lumbia Cagayan de Oro City). There has not been a repeat of that event so I would discount night bird mating calls. My wife Ling Ling and I both agree that there is a diwata in our house. She is a "tumanud ku abu" ("I watch over the ash" in Higaonon Binukid). She is our household guardian spirit. My wife Ling Ling is a Kagayanon Higaonon Bae. I understand that the Taga Higaonon have held the belief in the tumanud ku abu for centuries. I don't think it is a construct of the Spanish colonisers. The Taga Higaonon also have a belief in multiple souls and that some of the souls may leave the body leading to illness, and that if they all leave a person dies. As for the tik-tik, it is commonly believed in all over the Philippines, sometimes called "wak wak" as well. I had an interest in Filipino legends but never expected to hear the tik-tik! Maayad hu pagtiruga kay iman gabhiona! (Higaonon Binukid for "Sleep well tonight!").
I'm my town in Capiz. Tik-tik and wakwak is different. Tik-tik is full body humaniod while wakwak is manananggal which is humaniod also but half body. I believe in such things. Remember Yolanda? Struck my province hard and no electricity for over a week. My cousin had a new born and our neighbor is pregnant. Every night with no electricity is pitch black outside. And remember I said that tik-tik are humaniod? It's all over the area. You can hear it's sound and you can literally hear the sound of a human stepping on a thin stainless roofing. They say it's a cat but hey, when a cat steps on that kind of roofing it won't make a sound like the sound we heard. Cats have soft paws and won't do any sound like that on a roof. So we stay late and take turns to guard my niece.
@@mgatroops4709 Huy naku Ginoo nasabot ko! Nakadungog ko ang tingog "Tik! Tik tik tik tik..." sa atop sa among balay. Duha ka storey na ang among balay! Di posible lang usa ka iring, ug wala'y tuko pud. Sa kaduhang gabii nakadungog ko og tingog nga mga kapay pud, apan di gisalig ko nga ang ordinaryo nga langgam.na. Wala'y problema alang sa nako ug asawa kong kay tigulang kami ug wala'y kabuntis nga babaye sa among balay!
@@gaufrid1956 ok you can speak bisaya. You foreigner or what? Hahaha. This things are real and other people don't believe it. They say to see is to believe. I say its better not to see.
@@mgatroops4709 Yes mate I'm a foreigner, Australian actually! You are right about it being better not to see. Come August of this year I will have been living in the Philippines for 5 years, and for all but the first few weeks which were in Lapu-Lapu City Mactan Cebu, the rest of the time I have lived here in Barangay Lumbia in uptown Cagayan de Oro City Mindanao. I'm not a fluent speaker of Binisaya or Tagalog, but I understand most of what I hear or read. I think it's only right to learn the local languages if you are living in a new country. Obviously guys like Kulas and Kumander think the same way. And yes, I remember Bagyong Yolanda, but I was in Australia then. Cagayan de Oro was affected by Bagyong Odette, but not as badly as Siargo, Dinagat Islands, and parts of Visayas. Let's all hope we are not visited by the tik-tik again!
Put an awning on that concrete brace. Cover the steps in rainy season you will appreciate it. Less chance of slipping on slick steps… and it should look beautiful.
Hahahahaha the “umagad” story of mama rose was also used as a threat to me by my parents if I dont eat🤣🤣🤣🤣 literally that your soul gets up in the middle of the night and would start looking for food and if unfortunately it get stuck inside the pot, you will die🤣🤣🤣 to be honest I use the same trick to my kids now too lol. Power on kulas
"Kikik" is actually a nocturnal bird (the Philippine nightjar) which makes a "kikikikik" sound at night time. The sound is scary, so it became an imaginary monster to scare children from going outside at night. Same with "wakwak", which is originally the Philippine frogmouth (which makes a growling sound); and the "kokok", originally the Coucal (which makes a reverberating "kokokok" sound). Their names are derived from their calls.
I am not superstitious but a property I have in the province in Cebu, I have a big. old tamarind tree. Everyone there in the neighborhood says they are afraid of that tamarind tree because there is an element (ghost, spirit, etc.) that lives in the tree. An old woman, a midwife from the past who was responsible for probably over a hundred births in that barangay used to live on the property, and who has since passed away. I look at that tree and think how beautiful it is and it gives me a sense of joy and happiness. I would like to think part of her lives in that tree now as well. She who has helped bring so many people into the world. I could only be honored for her to be part of that tree. On another note, that footage you have in this video, the light quality of the drone on parts of it coupled with the music that was playing really gave me a sense of yearning to be back in the P.I. Also memories gone of great times.
thank you for completing my day brad. your positivity has a big impact to my anxiety and depression. always love you man.
I love Jandee's answer at the end "you'll never know" 😁
Im learning some recipes from Jandy .Thank you for cooking okoy
So good to hear the sand is coming back. Good vibes. Congratulations to Therine. Well deserved. Thank you for sharing. Have a lovely day.

Mama Rose looks like a fantastic person and you have a good conection with her :)
I got names for your buildings, Kulas: the castle keep, the hobbit house, club house, bath house and cafeteria. Keep the adventures going!
Your vlog is so refreshing, fun and entertaining. People in the province are so warm, living simply and happy. 🤗🎶🤩

Omg! Mama rose story Maka relate ko because that's what my mom told us when we were young. Bring back memories Kulas I love and enjoy watching your videos and love your beautiful home a lot.
Wow kulas congratulations. Your house now very amizing. Very nice and cold house.
Beautiful beach house even @ night.😍
Folklores in the Philippines; aswangs, tikbalangs, mananangals, kapre, as explained by Mama Rose were created by the Friars during those years seemed plausible.
That music at the start of the vlog is so relaxing. I like the lighting effect when looking on top of the roof of the house.
I love to reminisce about childhood scary stories of aswangs, manananggals and kapres that our parents used to tell us when we misbehaved. Funny how the versions varied from one generation to the next! Love your beach house, by the way!

Kulas, it is Anay nga nag bakya (A sow wearing wooden clogs). Seen/heard at night and frightens the young such that they will not roam at night.

Great vlog. Great energy.
That’s scary sometimes I believe on it. Ha ha ha sarap ng Ilan ninyo. Nice house

First time to hear about “baboy bakya”. Interesting 😁
me too!
I know these guys are laughing right now but try walking in the dark, all of you and see who will run first if you heard sounds of these creatures.
Challenge Kulas, or any of the guys to sleep on the beach on a moonless night and see who can bravely stay there from midnight until 4:00 AM
You have an aswang and a madman living with you.just all good friends and good times .
Put more lights in your surroundings. For security purpose.
Yes! Mama Rose my Inang said the same story about the hungry soul! Im from Luzon and we have the same story!

I'm my town in Capiz. Tik-tik and wakwak is different. Tik-tik is full body humaniod while wakwak is manananggal which is humaniod also but half body. I believe in such things. Remember Yolanda? Struck my province hard and no electricity for over a week. My cousin had a new born and our neighbor is pregnant. Every night with no electricity is pitch black outside. And remember I said that tik-tik are humaniod? It's all over the area. You can hear it's sound and you can literally hear the sound of a human stepping on a thin stainless roofing. They say it's a cat but hey, when a cat steps on that kind of roofing it won't make a sound like the sound we heard. Cats have soft paws and won't do any sound like that on a roof. So we stay late and take turns to guard my niece.
@@mgatroops4709 Huy naku Ginoo nasabot ko! Nakadungog ko ang tingog "Tik! Tik tik tik tik..." sa atop sa among balay. Duha ka storey na ang among balay! Di posible lang usa ka iring, ug wala'y tuko pud. Sa kaduhang gabii nakadungog ko og tingog nga mga kapay pud, apan di gisalig ko nga ang ordinaryo nga langgam.na. Wala'y problema alang sa nako ug asawa kong kay tigulang kami ug wala'y kabuntis nga babaye sa among balay!
@@gaufrid1956 ok you can speak bisaya. You foreigner or what? Hahaha. This things are real and other people don't believe it. They say to see is to believe. I say its better not to see.
@@mgatroops4709 Yes mate I'm a foreigner, Australian actually! You are right about it being better not to see. Come August of this year I will have been living in the Philippines for 5 years, and for all but the first few weeks which were in Lapu-Lapu City Mactan Cebu, the rest of the time I have lived here in Barangay Lumbia in uptown Cagayan de Oro City Mindanao. I'm not a fluent speaker of Binisaya or Tagalog, but I understand most of what I hear or read. I think it's only right to learn the local languages if you are living in a new country. Obviously guys like Kulas and Kumander think the same way. And yes, I remember Bagyong Yolanda, but I was in Australia then. Cagayan de Oro was affected by Bagyong Odette, but not as badly as Siargo, Dinagat Islands, and parts of Visayas. Let's all hope we are not visited by the tik-tik again!
Kulas, pls tell Jandee to share his recipe of the vegetable fritter so I can cook it for my son. :)
I loved your Beach house so cool and beautiful..Is it your own project? Or you get from someone very professional.I really like it so much.j
I like your team in cateel...cooking ...eating n laughing
Your headband design would look great on the concrete line of your home!
Put an awning on that concrete brace. Cover the steps in rainy season you will appreciate it. Less chance of slipping on slick steps… and it should look beautiful.
Lol -- that abrupt ending. This is your intro into making scary movies.
Good morning happy Sunday 😊
Sige raman kag kasulod sa bulsa brod Kulas....hahahahaha Amping perme brod....
So that's were the tikbAlang story started. My grandma tells that story too, in the province. Also the santelmo.
#LegendKulas in Paradise Islands 🌴🏖️⛱️🌄 of The Philippines.
Hahahahaha the “umagad” story of mama rose was also used as a threat to me by my parents if I dont eat🤣🤣🤣🤣 literally that your soul gets up in the middle of the night and would start looking for food and if unfortunately it get stuck inside the pot, you will die🤣🤣🤣 to be honest I use the same trick to my kids now too lol. Power on kulas
Kulas's curiosity about pinoy mythical creatures is entertaining 😆..🤣
"Kikik" is actually a nocturnal bird (the Philippine nightjar) which makes a "kikikikik" sound at night time. The sound is scary, so it became an imaginary monster to scare children from going outside at night.
Same with "wakwak", which is originally the Philippine frogmouth (which makes a growling sound); and the "kokok", originally the Coucal (which makes a reverberating "kokokok" sound). Their names are derived from their calls.
I am not superstitious but a property I have in the province in Cebu, I have a big. old tamarind tree. Everyone there in the neighborhood says they are afraid of that tamarind tree because there is an element (ghost, spirit, etc.) that lives in the tree. An old woman, a midwife from the past who was responsible for probably over a hundred births in that barangay used to live on the property, and who has since passed away. I look at that tree and think how beautiful it is and it gives me a sense of joy and happiness. I would like to think part of her lives in that tree now as well. She who has helped bring so many people into the world. I could only be honored for her to be part of that tree.
On another note, that footage you have in this video, the light quality of the drone on parts of it coupled with the music that was playing really gave me a sense of yearning to be back in the P.I. Also memories gone of great times.
Thanks Kulas and company my anti-stress pill..You’re hilarious 😃😘😃😘❤️
