The Mountain’s Heart
For the first time since a serious car accident forced her to drop out of university, Felisa returns to the Philippines with her parents, unsure how the family will make of her now. But for the sake of the school assignment given to her to make up for the class she’ll miss, Felisa will document her trip with a series of audio recordings.
Including a trip to a rather famous mountain whose guardian—unbeknownst to her—still lingers.

Searching for the Aswang
For as long as people have inhabited the Philippines, there has been an evil spirit waiting just beyond the light, craving blood. This cryptid--for all its potential--has never made it far from the islands, and in many ways, it didn’t need to. There, it has found itself a folk tradition to call its kingdom from which to rule the darkness, unconquerable.
In this podcast, Marcilena J Bailey seeks to understand where this beast has come from and the dark mirror it provides.
