In a fairy tale from this country, a dog, a monkey, and a water buffalo play tricks on a laughing one-eyed giant that tries to steal their food. In an epic from this country, a prince saves his two brothers after they failed to capture the Adarna bird, who had turned them to stone by pooping on them. Obtaining three spines or turning one’s shirt inside out can counteract the tricks of a human–horse hybrid in this country’s folklore. Semen, salt, and stingray spines defend against birdlike creatures in this country like the ekek. Pregnant women in this country are targeted by creatures who want to eat their fetuses like the mandurugo and the manananggal (“ma-nuh-nun-GAHL”). For 10 points, name this country whose myths of vampiric aswangs stem from the Tagalog people. ■END■
