There are many mythical creatures which Filipinos believe are true. Some of them are aswang, lamang-lupa (gnome) and engkanto. Stories about them are more popular in rural areas. They say that bad things can happen to you if you disturb these beings. Just like a woman who won in the ‘Sugod Bahay’ segment of the Philippines longest-running television show, “Eat Bulaga.”
Part of the segment is visiting the winner’s home. So hosts, Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, Paolo Ballesteros, Maine Mendoza and Alden Richards sat in the old woman’s tiny house.
The woman blames gnomes for her eye condition. According to her mother, her right eye began deteriorating after she urinated in their backyard. She said that the incident happened in their hometown in Daet, Camarines Norte.
She shared that she once got her eyes checked, but was told she had to undergo immediate surgery so she got scared. However, another doctor told her that it was better she didn’t get her eye operated as the other one could’ve also gotten affected.
