The ballad of Maria Labo-the thing is, the story of Maria Labo has
found its way in the local papers so most probably, this story was
partly true. this story caused a stir in the city some 5 years ago.
this was about a young woman named Maria who went to Canada to be a
caregiver. Before she went abroad, she had taken care of an elderly man
who was said to have possessed the so-called "aswang" curse. When the
old man died, he passed his powers to Maria.Finding no luck in
Canada, Maria went home. It was then that her thirst for human flesh
started there. When her husband, a policeman, went home one night, he
was looking for their kids. It was said that the deranged Maria pointed
to the stove where she said she cooked her children. Enraged, her
husband struck her with a bolo ("labo") where she obtained a scar on
her face, earning her the monicker Maria Labo. it was said that she
fled to Visayas, then to Mindanao, in a quest to satiate her hunger for
human flesh and viscera. Like a typical aswang, she has the ability to
change her appearance. sometimes she appears as a beautiful young
lass... at other times, she appears as an old woman. I even managed to
obtain her cellphone number but all I heard was some growl of some
animal or something... Turned it it was a fake.
