Bungisngis
Bungisngis is a one-eyed giant in
Philippine folklore. This giant, purported to
dwell in Meluz, Orion, Bataan, is described as
is always laughing. The literal meaning of the
name Bungingis is derived from the Tagalog
word ngisi which means "to giggle".

Berberoka
The people from Apayao, Abra
and Ilocos Norte believe in and fear
a swamp creature called Berberoka.
It lures victims by sucking water in
the pond enough for a number fish
to come to the surface.

Bakunawa
(also known as Nāga or Nono in Tagalog)
is a serpent-like dragon in Philippine
mythology.
Diwata
In Philippine mythology, a diwata
is a type of deity or spirit. The term
"diwata" has taken on levels of
meaning since its assimilation into the
mythology of the pre-colonial Filipinos.
The term is traditionally used in the
Visayas, Palawan, and Mindanao
regions, while the term anito is used in
Luzon regions.

Duwende
The Spanish term duende originated as a
contraction of the phrase dueño de casa or
duen de casa, "possessor of a house", and was
originally conceptualized as a mischievous spirit
inhabiting a house.

Manaul
The Manaul bird is a creature of
Philippine folklore. There are three
existing stories regarding Manaul.
Each are different from each other
and should not be combined in a
single narrative.
