Share ko lang.. we had an uncle in his mid-40's that got sick all of a sudden...his turned yellow and his belly got big. Being in the medical field...we suspected liver problems. Our uncle went to Cebu Doc, had all the lab works, tests..name it..he got it. Lo and behold..all results came back...and all were negative for abnormalities. It baffled the family not to mention the doctors and the medical staff. So, being in a religious family...mananambals and kind was like not the choice or the very least option to the issue. Anyway, the family finally approached a mananambal and was asked to make subay...since what started as our uncle getting a check-up, he ended up getting admitted in the hospital, since our uncle was getting worst as the hours went by. The next day we noticed that his belly seems like it was growing...

Fast forward..so, the family approached the person to make subay...he asked us to bring him an egg of a white chicken, a little piece of wood ( tabla ) and a small basin. He asked everyone in the house to leave or stay outside of the house except my mom and my uncle's daughter. He then started to make oracion or yam-yam as what the others would call it. Then he told my mom and cousin...if this egg rolls down...then he ( our uncle ) was just sick and not properly diagnosed, otherwise... someone made barang kuno. And so , it started...this guy then puts the tabla in a diagonal way with something on one end to make it slanted. He then puts the egg with its pointed end, something like making it stand at the top of the slanted tabla..so, para mo-roll ang egg. To my mom's and cousin's surprise..when the person released the egg, the egg stood up at the edge of the tabla....

So, the next thing was to take the small basin and "see" who wanted him sick or maybe dead...the mananambal saw a lady, described her and why she wants this bad thing to happen with our uncle. Sad to say, the mananambal could not help and heal my uncle..the mangkukulam that the female asked to do her bidding wanted our uncle dead by Friday and the mangkukulam..coincided my uncles "life" with the incoming tide...worst of all, this was during the Holy Week...that it was too late kuno cause the high tide was coming in and the next day was Good Friday..when the mananambals could not do anything, specially healing or unhexing. The mananambal said that is was kinda unfortunate that they approached him very late due to the family's hesitance and beliefs...or to the disbelief in pananambal.

As our uncle got worst..later that evening Thursday....he then died the next day, Good Friday. Death was undiagnosed...

Unfortunate for us again..cause after a few years down the road, another uncle in his late 40's ( a husband of one of my mom's cousin ) had the same fate..very similar in ways...he got sick on Thursday, then was very critical on a Good Friday, died on a Black Saturday. Mind you guys, this uncle was young, healthy and never got hospitalized... apparently, both had issues with some land disputes with other individuals...different individuals that wanted them died, because of the "bad" land dispute...

So, I dunno what are your takes about this story of mine..but somehow it makes you think, doesn't it?

This can be further explained with the history and practice of black magic, hexes, and bindings.. It's a rather complex thing, in addition to being very dangerous to deal with. It has something to do with withcraft, occult, charms, rituals, and special prayers.

In Ormoc, we had a neighbor (God rest his soul!) some years ago who I thought had a case of goiter for having a very enlarged neck.
I remember when I was a kid, I wouldn't dare go over their lot (even though it was only my great-grandmother's house that was between us) because there were many stories about their place --- about the so-called sigbin, the "agta/capri" in their huuuuge Caimito, the white lady, etc...

Anyway, so after some time, his neck became really big that I knew it wasn't just goiter because even the nape of his neck enlarged. So picture this, his neck looked like it was about to burst because it seemed "pregnant" with something. Basta, imagine nalang!
I didn't really care because neither my relative or close to my family, but I heard from my aunt who tends a store outside the house that a "mananambal" came and tried to heal him. What they found out when the neck "erupted" was sand!!! Then there was a rope! What the... It was some sight to behold... he eventually passed away after that.

Spells, white magic, ceremonial magic, incantations, candle magic, black magic, conjurations, and invocations. It's all here to help you through life. If you believe in the power of Magic your dreams can come true. So be it! We all have needs in life and Magic can help
fulfill those needs. Whether it be power, money, fame, revenge, love or hate... the universe can be bent to our will and it can all be achieved with spells and magic.

BUT REMEMBER: Everything comes full circle. "What goes around comes around." It is the Law of the Universe. That which you send out will come back to you. Do good things and ye shall be rewarded. (And then some...)

Barang is evil. I think only by means of praying to God shall we obtain everything we ask for in accordance with his will and proper timing (God's timing for us, not ours). Inflicting pain and suffering towards another person is not coming from God.
