kwentong Tawong Lipod


"Tawong Lipod" is an ancient term in Philippine mythology referring to invisible wind creatures. At first, they were thought to be friendly female spirits linked to clouds and water in Bicolano culture. But over time, they transformed into malicious beings known as Engkanto. Originally described as slender and beautiful, able to control winds, they are now depicted as dark and harmful invisible creatures. In today's Philippines, Tawong Lipod is often shown in a negative light in horror stories, causing sickness and trouble for people instead of being seen as kind spirits. In old Ibalong some of the heroes such as Baltog was descended from the Tawong lipod thus having divine origin.
