Unusual...
Just learned from my brother that my cousin Hermie
went last week to the province Quezon (Lopez or Hondagua
I'm not sure) for an indefinite stay... He should come
back soon for he lives alone in his house... He was the
acting "katiwala" to look over our property (my late aunt's)
& received the rental/payments... My mother told me I should
also go to Olongapo to collect/manage our property but
I told her we should just sell it even at a losing price...
I really believe there is some "mystery" as in ALINGASNGAS
as to why we can't seem to get any benefit/cash from our
properties though we are "landed" - not that BIG though...
I mean I don't really need to get employed if only I can convert my property
to CASH! Are those money lords (e.g. land bankers) manipulating
us??? If they don't stop their actions I will be forced to
declare our property in Zambales as part & parcel of the ancestral
domain of or simply BANGSAMORO territory HAR!

MOTHER in BOARDING HOUSE
My mother once related to me when she was still a high school student
in Batangas City. One night she was awakened by the howling of dogs
She saw a "ghostly" figure sitted beside a very sick little boy
sleeping on the floor...
When she related this to her mother (my Lola) my grandmother told her
because the little boy was sick, his dead mother "visited"
or checked on him... But I was told according to ISLAAM the spirits of the
dead don't roam around... These are actually JINNs taking the form of
the dead people or something... I haven't met MUSLIMS who are
truly knowledgeable about Occult/Mystical matters

2nd AUNT saw hands in the room of our house in BATANGAS
In the late 1960's or maybe before 1972 vacation time I remember my
aunt was in the room relating a ghost story to two persons I have forgotten who they were
It's the room where I usually sleep whenever I go home to Alitagtag...
We call it Kuwartong Ilaya (Northern most) & it was the master's bedroom.
In the 1950's most likely 1952+ she was sleeping inside alone on the
SOLIHIYA bed within a KULAMBO. She was awakened deep in the night
& saw two hands in the glass windowpane then the hands moved towards
her & hovered above outside the mosquito net... She immediately got up
& joined the others sleeping in the living room...

She together with a male companion also saw an unknown animal creature
that crossed the road a few meters away from them near our house in ALITAGTAG
She said it could not have been a dog, horse, carabao or any common animal
It was around 1:00 AM & they had just returned from their voting poll duties in the town plaza/school...

Could the American CIA, Vatican, or other foreign agencies be playing tricks on the
natives? & trying to study their reactions??? I'm allowing for such possibilities but because of my own personal experiences I'm more inclined to believe there are indeed "unknown mysteries" in life
