Blogpost #3: Unbelievable Tikbalang!

  In my second blog we talk about the good against evilness and I made children or kids as my example. We realized that our good and evilness can create conflict in the flow of our lives. Good and evil are considered as a human nature because  it is present always in our personality. I can't believe that the Tikbalang has also a good heart and they used it to help human in danger. Now we talk about the good side of a Tikbalang.

I watched some movie where the Tikbalang featured and represents as a helpful and friendly. This movie is the entry in the 34th Metro Manila Film Festival hailed as the first Filipino-digital animated film directed by Robert Quilao entitled DAYO: Sa mundo ng Elemetalia. This movie is about the 11-yearold boy named Bubuy that bullied by his classmates and onetime his classmates forced him to go in the Balete Tree to again forced him to burn the tree and  he accidentally burned it. So the Balete tree became angry and the tree get Bubuy's grandmother and grandfather and take them in the world of Elementalia. So Bubuy try to save his two love ones in danger by the help of two friends named Anna the "manananggal" and NARSI the "Tikbalang".

 This article entitled Meet the voice actors of Dayo written by Michael Kho Lim describe NARSI the "Tikbalang" as a Narcissistic cool rocker tikbalang (the underworld creature with the head of a horse and the body of a human). 

 Tikbalang can also be good not only a bad creature. Their positive attitude can make them not scary because we changed our perspective about them. Good in nature is not meant that we are good in our overall behavior. This good attitude can become evil if we cannot control our emotions and feelings when we have struggle in life.

According to this article entitled Are Tikbalang Elves? wriitten by BJ Recio. Like many fey creatures, the mysterious tikbalangs are forest guardians that one will only see if they allow you to. But unlike their gnomish or elven cousins, they have little reason to hide their presence from those that offend them. Though they [are known] to employ deceptive magic to ward off the many gates to Kalikasan, they are just as likely to kick a trespasser out of their demesne.

 

Like what I have found out on researching about my past blogs. I found out that Tikbalang plays tricks on humans by getting them lost in the woods. They just love to have fun and that is through playing on humans. That is the side of their naughtiness. But that bad side of them is just the one-fourth of their being, their good side are the one that is almost defines their whole personality. Because they are the creature who have the role of protecting the forest. And "Forests" are important to us Humans, that is where we almost got everything we need to continue, to survive on living here on earth. We should be thankful to the guardians of forests for protecting one of our natural resources, Thanks for the help of Tikbalangs. All of us have a purpose why we are here on earth. Like the Tikbalang, and their purpose is such a great help to us.
