Every mythology has a collection of bizarre and scary monsters, yet the ones originating from Philippine mythology seem to have an extra dose of bizarre and scary! From giant dragons that swallow the moon, to shapeshifters and viscera suckers, to grave robbers and forest tricksters. This program will take a look at a handful of the strangest, and most terrifying, monsters of Philippine mythology!
