ASWANG #98 - Apo Namalyari

Apo Namalyari is the supreme god and great provider of the Aeta people of Northern Luzon. The Aetas have a strong spiritual connection with him, and they consider Mount Pinatubo (an active volcano) as sacred for it is said to be Apo Namalyari’s abode. For this reason, after the catastrophic 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption, the Aeta tribe elders performed a ritual to find out what made Apo Namalyari so angry that he made the volcano erupt. Through the help of a spirit medium, they discerned that the drilling operations for geothermal power was the cause of Apo Namalyari’s fatal wrath. Editions: 1 of 1
