Beneath the emerald canopies of the Philippine jungles, ancient spirits still walk among us. Meet the Engkanto—ethereal guardians of nature whose beauty is as dangerous as it is divine. In this episode, we explore the myths surrounding these elemental beings: their role as protectors of wild places, their powers to bless or curse, and the haunting tales of those who dared trespass their sacred domains. Step lightly—some paths are watched.
