True. May I ask which province this depiction is inspired by? Or is it a more general interpretation of the tiktik as a whole? I know my mom used to always scare me as a child about the manananggal and she is Kapampangan.

I thought manananggal were called tiktiks on account of their wings. Is this a different creature or before she sheds her lower half and sprouts wings?
