Philippine folklore refers to the mythical creatures that are believed by certain group of people. Mangkukulam, manananggal, and tiktik are part of it.

Mangkukulam is a witch that uses pictures, voodoo doll and needles to perform the act, "kulam".

Manananggal, in daylight, is in form of a human and half-bodied monster at night.

Tiktik, on the other hand, is a monster with long tongue that seeks for it's prey at night, usually an unborn baby; thus it targets pregnant women.

These strange creatures has been part of philippine culture and beliefs. Just mentioning their names can make a filipino, especially children, turn into scaredy cats.
