Reply to comment by maaszel_tov in ASWANG/TIKTIK by simbako258

different provinces, different description, sometimes the "tiktik" is the "manananggal", some provinces says the "tiktik" is the manananggals "familiar" bird used for scouting, when you hear its loud sound tiktiktiktik, they say the creature is still far, when the sound is low tiktiktiktik it is near.

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.
