I speak, read and write Filipino and I am quite knowledgeable on its folklore and legends.I have never heard of these myths, most probably because it may be in Visayan language but the grammar and word usage is outright confusing."Comusta pari" I think should be "Kumusta, pare?" (From Spanish Como estas- How are you?, Pare is like a male chum/friend).The author might have cited that the stories were of Visayan origin too.The construction of the sentences/paragraphs is quite lanky too.
