    OCT 18

    Snake Person in the Mall: The Robinsons Legend

    It’s one of the wildest urban legends in the Philippines—about a snake creature supposedly living under Robinsons Galleria, preying on shoppers through trapdoors in the fitting rooms. Sounds insane? Maybe. But the story refuses to die. In today’s episode, we’ll talk about the origin of the legend, the celebrity tied to it, and why it spread like wildfire back in the day. 📝 Host/Script Writer: Ethan🔍 Researcher: Keya🎶 Music: "The Path of the Goblin King" by Kevin MacLeod🎧 Link: ⁠https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4503-the-path-of-the-goblin-king⁠📜 License: ⁠https://filmmusic.io/standard-license⁠

    Padugo: The Bloody Offering Behind Every Build

    You’ve probably heard it in passing—“magpa-padugo muna tayo.” But what does that really mean? In this episode, we’re talking about padugo—a chilling ritual still whispered about today, where animals (and, in darker rumors, humans) are sacrificed to “bless” a construction site. Is it just tradition, or something more sinister? 📝 Host/Script Writer: Ethan🔍 Researcher: Keya🎶 Music: "The Path of the Goblin King" by Kevin MacLeod🎧 Link: ⁠https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4503-the-path-of-the-goblin-king⁠📜 License: ⁠https://filmmusic.io/standard-license⁠

    Today, we’re climbing high—literally and historically—as we talk about the hanging coffins of Sagada. Why were they placed on cliffs? Who gets to be buried that way?
