Some Philippine tid bits here and there

I know am going crazy with the succubus things as it seems like it. :P

Anyway, I just bumped into a new series called Lost Girl. The series is about a woman who discovers she is a succubus and how the fae world is. She discovers friends from human to werewolves, to a siren, to a bartender and the Dark and the Light.

But this is not the time to talk about Lost Girl… Not yet.

One thing I love in Lost Girl is that whoever the genius is behind the plot is a oh yeah a genius! Though they have just messed up the whole thing that a succubus is a fairy, the introduction of different lore is so interesting and fun!

Yes, I’m a dork. You have banshee (Scottish), Baba Yaga (Slavic), sirens, silkie, Peri (Persian) and many more.

This week’s episode really impressed me though. They have introduced “Maganda”, which means “beautiful” in Filipino, who seems like a homeless lady. She is actually a batibat, “nightmare” in one of the provinces in the Philippines.

Only thing that I wasn’t so crazy about though is… they just presented her as part of Bali and the person who played as Maganda made her name sound a bit African.
