Manananggal
The Manananggal is a vampiric creature in Filipino folklore. Always depicted as a woman, during the day she walks among us and at night, she grows bat wings, separates her torso from her legs, and flies around hunting for prey.
The realization of dreams often brings new obstacles, challenges, and even fears, and when the dream is big enough, it demands the dreamer to change. ‘Manananggal’ is a depiction of the ironic burden and consequence of making one’s dreams come true.
