“What would happen if a country of 97 million people were taught at a young age that the boogie man was real? In the Philippines, for the last 400 years, the ‘aswang’ has been used as propoganda and social control by Spanish Colonizers, the Catholic Church, the Philippine government, and even the CIA.”
