01:00and what it means to us.
01:02Ngayong gabi, bago natin gunatingin ang aro ng mga kaluluwa na naging katatakotan na
01:08para sa ilan…
01:10Kuwento ng mga hindi maipaliwanag na karanasaan ang handog namin sa inyo…
01:18Wala sa pagot na ulong karanasaan ng artista si Herleen Budol.
01:24May nagsabi sa akin, hindi ko namang kakilala.
01:26He picked me up and told me to go home because I didn't have a head.
01:30It was casual.
01:31You know, just chill.
01:33He wasn't like an O.A.
01:35And he didn't let me go out for a week.
01:41Jomar also witnessed a shocking thing that happened to our Wanderer.
01:46There was an employee who was looking at me.
01:49Later on, he suddenly approached me and said,
01:52I saw you because you don't have a head.
01:56The employee also had a scary story that can't be explained.
02:04He was like that and he didn't have a face.
02:07The white parade in Siquijor.
02:10Was it a cult?
02:15And the feeling of being embalmed by an embalmer.
02:20I just can't believe that I was the one who was embalmed.
02:24The one who taught me how to embalm.
02:29No place, time, and person is chosen.
02:32But can this be explained by experts?
02:35Or maybe we're just mistaken about people.
02:40I wonder what are the stories behind these incidents.
02:51This is what Filipinos do when they throw a shrimp head first.
02:56This became a spoon for women.
02:58The body is perfect but it's not beautiful.
03:01Shrimp girl.
03:04This is where the beauty queen and sparkle artist,
03:07Herlyn Budol, was known.
03:09Shrimp girl, Herlyn Budol.
03:10This is not Budol.
03:12Herlyn Budol, winner.
03:17But recently, she proved that she's not just a shrimp.
03:21Because of her beauty, she was nominated for a pageant
03:24and also a certified host.
03:28But in spite of her glitz and glamour,
03:31Herlyn has a horror story where she looks like a shrimp.
03:38Because of her scary story,
03:41she walks with her head removed.
03:46Yes!
03:47Yes!
03:48Yes!
03:49I told you.
03:50All of you should do it.
03:51Tomorrow, sir.
03:52Yes!
03:53You're so beautiful.
03:55Yes!
04:06Nye, go home.
04:08I can see that you're not going home.
04:12Someone said,
04:13Someone told me that I don't know her.
04:15Then she picked me up and told me,
04:17Nye, go home. You're crazy.
04:19It's casual.
04:20You know, it's just chill.
04:22She's not like an O.A.
04:24Then she didn't let me go out for a week.
04:32We've read a lot and heard a lot of scary stories.
04:37Pari is a diplomat hotel in Baguio.
04:40Pari is a diplomat hotel in Baguio.
04:43And in a church in Los Baños, Laguna.
04:47Everything is full of mystery.
04:49If you don't follow the rules,
04:51you'll go home.
04:53It's dangerous.
04:56This is what happened to our wanderer, Ron,
04:59who didn't move.
05:00His head was seen.
05:03Boss,
05:04Can I check your receipts?
05:07In the middle of his conversation with the boss,
05:10a construction worker passed by
05:13and he looked at him.
05:16There's an employee
05:19who's not that far.
05:21He was looking at me.
05:22I was also looking at him.
05:25Maybe,
05:26he suddenly approached me.
05:29What's your name?
05:31I saw you without a head.
05:33I told him,
05:34Maybe, you're blind because I'm wearing a helmet.
05:37He said,
05:38No, you don't have a helmet.
05:40That's why I got nervous.
05:43Be careful.
05:44Take care.
05:46Because of what happened,
05:47his boss took him home.
05:50But he felt
05:52like there's a strange element following them.
05:57I felt like there's always someone behind me.
06:01At that time,
06:02it's really hard for me to feel.
06:07I felt like my head was floating.
06:10I felt like there's always someone looking at me.
06:14Afraid,
06:16he consulted his wife at the alveolary.
06:20What the alveolary saw in the candle was black.
06:25The alveolary said,
06:27I'm about to die.
06:31That black thing,
06:33he thought it was a bomb.
06:39There are rituals that are said in Latin
06:43that I can't understand.
06:45He said,
06:46It's a bomb.
06:48I was nervous because I felt like I was going to die.
06:56After the alveolary's consultation,
06:58he felt different.
07:02Just like Jomar,
07:03Herlene followed the advice of her father.
07:07There, son.
07:08You're safe.
07:09The bomb is gone.
07:15But I wonder
07:16where did the story of the bald head come from?
07:19Especially during the Spanish era,
07:22many Filipinos
07:25experienced the baldness of their heads.
07:30For example, the priests.
07:32Because of this,
07:33it became a national story.
07:35And this story became famous.
07:38And because of that,
07:39there was a chill factor.
07:40Because when you see a bald head,
07:43it means that you can die.
07:49The Catholic Church responds to this event.
07:53We believe not only in the things that we see.
07:56We also believe in the things that we cannot see.
07:59That's why it is included in our faith.
08:01We believe in God the Father
08:03who created everything in this world,
08:06the visible and the invisible.
08:10For Mpoy,
08:11he wasn't saved from the calamities.
08:15His story...
08:23He wasn't saved from the calamities,
08:25my co-host, Mpoy.
08:28When I was in first year college,
08:31because at that time,
08:32I was studying Mass Communication somewhere in Bulacan.
08:36And then,
08:38in the graveyard,
08:39at night,
08:40I was working in a convenience store.
08:43They took me to a convenience store.
08:45And then,
08:46they took me to a convenience store.
08:49I was working in a convenience store.
08:51Sir Dave took me there.
08:53One of our managers there,
08:55was giving me a coin.
08:57He was giving me a coin.
08:58It was like he gave me a whole coin.
09:03And then,
09:04he gave it to me as a tip.
09:05You go to the office,
09:07there are coins there.
09:09You will exchange it for a coin.
09:15When Mpoy opened the door,
09:20two candles were lit.
09:26Why is this here?
09:28Maybe,
09:29Sir Dave and Sir Chris won't go back to their province.
09:33They will stay here.
09:36I didn't notice.
09:41When I went there,
09:45one,
09:47two,
09:48three,
09:49and then,
09:50when I went to the fourth one,
09:59he didn't have a face.
10:00He ran to the counter to talk to the manager.
10:04But,
10:05they suddenly pulled out my mouth.
10:10While they were sleeping,
10:12the manager confessed to him what he saw.
10:17He said,
10:18Julius, I'm sorry.
10:22We didn't tell you last night
10:25who you saw.
10:26Because,
10:27you might leave us.
10:29It's peak season.
10:30There are a lot of people.
10:31What you saw last night,
10:34it should be here regularly.
10:37But,
10:39it went up
10:41in 1996.
10:42That's why we put candles and flowers
10:45whenever it's peak season.
10:48Empoy's body immediately left the place
10:50when he heard the story.
10:51That's why,
10:52when it's peak season,
10:53he immediately went out
10:54and left his workplace.
10:57I didn't get my ATM card.
11:00I didn't get my salary.
11:02I didn't wear my uniform.
11:05I really didn't show it.
11:08When Empoy thanked him,
11:09he didn't do it again.
11:12All you have to do is prayers.
11:14You have to pray.
11:15Because,
11:16our most powerful weapon in this world
11:22is prayers.
11:31Those who prayed at 4am in Siquijor,
11:33is it a cult?
11:45Here in Barangay Tacloban,
11:46in the province of Siquijor,
11:48there's a parade that ends at 4am.
11:56Some believe that this is a cult.
12:01This was witnessed by a tourist named Vinn.
12:04My friend invited me
12:06to go to Siquijor
12:08for an island tour.
12:10I went with him
12:11because I also wanted to unwind.
12:15When they arrived
12:16at their house early in the morning,
12:18he planned to do jogging in the morning.
12:21There, I noticed
12:22that there were old women
12:24and they were wearing
12:25candles,
12:26crosses,
12:27and saints.
12:30When he saw this,
12:31his hair stood up.
12:33But what did Vinn see?
12:35One of the things he saw
12:36was a woman
12:38What did Vinn see?
12:40Is this a cult?
12:45To answer the question
12:46of our Wanderer,
12:48we went to Siquijor
12:49and went to the barangay
12:50where the white people
12:52do their procession,
12:54Barangay Tacloban.
12:57The I-Wander team
12:58wandered around the barangay
12:59until we met
13:01one of the participants
13:02in the procession,
13:03Francisca.
13:05But when Francisca clarified,
13:07they said that this is not a cult.
13:09During our time,
13:10we used to pray
13:11in our barangay.
13:12In our barangay,
13:14the people here
13:15are happy
13:16and they feel sorry for us.
13:18But for other people,
13:20who are from other places,
13:23who do not know
13:24what we are doing,
13:26they will say that this is a cult.
13:28But this is not a cult.
13:30Don Obos na kinipaghinilin
13:35Ipakita mo kanamo
13:41Ipakita mo kanamo
13:43The Don Rosary procession
13:45started in 1993
13:47led by our Lady of Fatima.
13:51The Don Rosary procession
13:54is often done
13:57by Catholics
13:59as a sign of devotion
14:02to the Blessed Mother,
14:03to Our Lady of Fatima,
14:05because this is one of the messages
14:07that she conveyed
14:08to her children.
14:10There is a sense of sacrifice
14:11because you will wake up earlier.
14:13Santa Maria in a hand,
14:15Casabas
14:17They do the procession
14:18every four o'clock in the morning,
14:20from Monday to Friday,
14:21and whenever there is an occasion.
14:23Our Don Rosary,
14:24what we wear
14:25is just a normal dress,
14:27just a Sunday dress.
14:29It's not white.
14:31Maybe because the surroundings
14:33are dark,
14:34and you can see it from afar,
14:36some people think it's white.
14:38We have a mindset
14:41when we say cult,
14:43that the cults should be wearing hair,
14:45that the cults should have candles,
14:48that they should walk at night,
14:50that they should just pray.
14:51So we have that,
14:52some sort of belief.
14:55Next on I WONDER!
14:57We were a lot back then,
14:59but our reason was,
15:00why are we the only ones left?
15:02The others are already dead.
15:05And the feeling of
15:07being an embalsmer.
15:10I just can't imagine
15:12that I will be the one to embalm,
15:15who taught me how to embalm.
15:25As time went by,
15:27this tradition of the Catholics in Siquijor
15:30slowly disappeared from their place.
15:33We were a lot back then,
15:35but our reason was,
15:36why are we the only ones left?
15:39The others are already old,
15:41they can't walk,
15:42the others are already dead.
15:47After the procession,
15:48the devotees go straight to the church
15:50for the mass.
15:52Sometimes,
15:53even the male devotees join the procession.
15:56Like Luis, a tourism officer.
15:59I became a bit inactive.
16:01And then I thought,
16:03when there was a post on social media
16:05about the Don Rosary,
16:07instead of,
16:09I was a bit curious,
16:12so I joined again.
16:16That's why today,
16:17Luis will return to his work,
16:19to show his love and devotion
16:22to Virgin Mary of Fatima.
16:25But to those who didn't expect,
16:27that morning,
16:28the weather changed
16:30and it suddenly rained.
16:33That's why they decided
16:34to pray inside the chapel
16:36of the Mother of Perpetual Health.
16:39Devotees,
16:40don't be afraid of us
16:41if you see us on the road,
16:43because we are praying for all of us
16:46to be saved from calamities,
16:49for our places to be clear.
16:51That's all we need
16:52in the Don Rosary.
16:54We don't have a cult.
16:55Don't be afraid.
16:57Because we are human beings
16:58and we are with you.
17:03We showed Vince
17:04the explanation of this
17:05by Francisca.
17:07I realized that
17:08we shouldn't believe
17:09in pictures and videos.
17:12And based on what I saw
17:13in the interview,
17:14there is really no cult here
17:16in Siquijor.
17:19For Francisca,
17:20who is continuing
17:21the Don Rosary procession
17:23in Siquijor,
17:24it's good to know
17:25the complete story
17:26behind every step.
17:39This is how
17:40Bong's daily routine goes around.
17:44He's a monk.
17:50He's looking for a way
17:51to survive.
17:53Bong has been an embalmer
17:54for 10 years.
17:58And he wasn't saved
17:59from the unbearable
18:00feelings of the souls.
18:08Here,
18:09in San Antonio, Nueva Ecija.
18:15It's good that you're here.
18:16Huh?
18:17Yes,
18:18because the boat is coming.
18:20Let's go.
18:21Let's go.
18:23Make sure you carry it properly.
18:25Slowly, slowly.
18:27Bong,
18:28study well
18:29what I'm teaching you.
18:30Yes, sir.
18:31Uncle,
18:32can you help me with this?
18:33Yes, of course.
18:34I'll help you.
18:35I'll help you.
18:36I'll help you.
18:37I'll help you.
18:38I'll help you.
18:39I'll help you.
18:40I'll help you.
18:41I'll help you.
18:42I'll help you.
18:43Yes, sir.
18:44Uncle,
18:45study well
18:46what I'm teaching you.
18:47I'll help you.
18:48Yes, sir.
18:54Bong,
18:55don't be afraid of death.
18:56Death is not scary.
18:57Our job is
18:58to make death
18:59presentable.
19:00Let's put on
19:01makeup.
19:03Okay,
19:04you do that.
19:05Don't be afraid.
19:07There,
19:08just be careful.
19:10There.
19:11I'll help you.
19:12Okay, uncle.
19:13Can you do that?
19:14Yes, sir.
19:15Okay.
19:16Uncle Nonong
19:17is the owner
19:18of a funeral service.
19:19He also taught me
19:20how to put on makeup.
19:27It happens to me
19:28that while the coffin
19:30is still covered,
19:33something happens
19:34that the coffin is slightly turned
19:37and his eyes are still open.
19:39So when I open it,
19:40it looks like he's looking at me.
19:43May 20, 2020,
19:45Pechang was hit
19:46in the face
19:47by a car.
19:50When they were about
19:51to go home
19:52and they were about
19:53to kill him,
19:54he was hit
19:55by a car
19:56here in Megawing,
19:57Hain.
20:01Suddenly,
20:02Nonong felt
20:03the grip of the car.
20:06So what his family
20:07did inside the car
20:08was to stop
20:09the car
20:10in case
20:11something happens to them
20:12or anything happens.
20:18Help!
20:24The car stopped
20:25in the hospital
20:26while the body was being carried.
20:28Nonong is currently
20:29carrying the coffin.
20:32Help!
20:40At that time,
20:41the doctor told us
20:42that he was just
20:43reviving
20:44my uncle Nonong.
20:46We accepted
20:47that he was no longer alive.
20:49What should have happened
20:50was that the body
20:51of Nonong
20:55was carried
20:56to the funeral home.
21:02How if
21:03your beloved uncle
21:04who is giving birth
21:05will show up
21:06in front of you?
21:08Will you run?
21:10Join us
21:11in returning
21:12to I Wonder.
21:20Nurse!
21:21Nurse!
21:22Bring Nonong
21:23to the funeral home.
21:24My uncle is here.
21:32It's like
21:33it's hard to think
21:34that before
21:35I was just with him
21:36doing things
21:37and at that time
21:38it was him
21:39I was going to do.
21:40It was really
21:41hard for me
21:42at that time.
21:47But this year
21:48Nonong
21:49seemed
21:50to have a feeling.
21:52What happened
21:53to the car?
21:56It turned on.
21:57It turned on
21:58when the car
21:59turned on.
22:01This is the four wheels
22:02that we use
22:03in our daily lives.
22:04When it turned on
22:06I was the one
22:07who checked it.
22:08I turned on
22:09the flashlight
22:10of my cell phone.
22:11At first
22:12I couldn't face
22:13the light
22:14because
22:15I was already scared.
22:17Maybe
22:18if I look
22:19at myself
22:20in the mirror
22:21the driver
22:22Nonong
22:23is sitting there.
22:26And when they looked
22:27at him
22:28there was no one.
22:32What happened
22:33to Bong?
22:38Before this
22:39many people
22:40were watching
22:41the funeral
22:42while
22:43Bong was
22:44embalming.
22:45That's why
22:46they thought
22:47that this is the
22:48playground
22:49where the souls
22:50of the dead
22:51are resting.
22:54But no matter
22:55how bad
22:56Bong's experience was
22:57his uncle's advice
22:58was still
22:59on him.
23:00If you want
23:01to learn
23:02just focus
23:03and don't think
23:04about other things.
23:05Just think about
23:06your job

23:09I just can't
23:10imagine
23:11that I'm the one
23:12who will be
23:13embalmed

23:18In situations
23:19that are not

23:25of the Church
23:26is that
23:27if there is
23:28something
23:29we should
23:30use our
23:31sense of
23:32comprehension
23:33and also

23:38We Filipinos
23:39are used to
23:40stories of
23:41tragedy
23:42and fear.
23:44Some
23:45are
23:46superstitious
23:47while others
23:48have doubts.
23:50I'm asking
23:51if this is
23:52a part of
23:53the truth.
23:54What we need
23:55to do
23:56is to pray
23:57and as much
23:58as we can
23:59pray
24:00if this is
24:01a part of
24:02the truth.
