Day 41 – 1:52 AM – Sabang River, Barangay Dinahican, Infanta, Quezon
The Tamawo, an Elemental that could be found in Philippine Folklore and Mythology. The stories about them mostly came from Visayas or the Visayan Islands, one of the three principal geographical divisions of the Philippines along with Luzon and Mindanao.
In terms of appearance, they could be described similar to elves of western culture. They similarly lived deep inside forests in tribes. Differently to the elves of western culture, the Tamawo only had males in their tribes and needed to abduct human females they took interest in with the use of their magical abilities. However, even their children were males and after their children were fully integrated into their tribe as a Tamawo, the same cycle was repeated.
