This is your ultimate boogeyman. It could be a literal aswang, your terror prof, a surprise-quiz-giving teacher, or the dreaded "We need to talk" text. It’s the subject of your nightmares, the reason you sleep with the lights on. "Ang kinatatakutan ko ay ang tumandang walang ipon at puro resibo lang ng milk tea."
