Boy goes wild

Every now and then, the boy would mutter something incomprehensible but was generally subdued. But when Tangi raised the host during the Consecration, the boy went bananas, threw off those holding him, screamed at the priest, and spewed vomit.

“It gives me goose bumps just to remember what happened,” Tangi said.

After the Mass, the priest approached the boy and recited deliverance prayers, especially those addressed to St. Michael, the archangel who defeated Lucifer, and St. Gabriel, the Prince of the Heavenly Army tasked with leading angels in the final battle against evil spirits.

Tangi could not perform an exorcism because it requires permission from the bishop. Also, an exorcist priest and his prayer warriors, or assistants, would have to fast and recite special prayers for protection before they can face the possessed.

After Tangi and the locals prayed over the boy, the priest sprinkled holy water on him and anointed the boy with blessed oil.

“At that time, I felt it was not a really strong demon. After the anointing, the boy already smiled and began eating. I just hope that he would not have a relapse because when that happens, the retaliating demon usually becomes stronger,” Tangi noted.

Mummy in bed

Later, the priest was led to the businessman’s ailing niece. She was in crutches in a small, windowless room. He was shocked to see what he thought was a man wrapped in black bandage “like a mummy” lying on her bed.

“His neck was bent backward but his eyes were wide open and staring at me,” the priest recalled. “I looked back at my companions and apparently, they did not see it because they were not reacting,” Tangi said. He turned to the bed and the vision was gone.

“The room was very dark, there were absolutely no openings. And it felt very eerie just being there,” the priest said. Workers complain they feel “something unusual” whenever they are near the girl’s quarters.

Fr. Jose Francisco Syquia, in his book “Exorcism: Encounters with the Paranormal and the Occult,” notes that evil spirits prefer “areas which are smelly and dirty like toilets, garbage areas, and the like.”

Syquia, director of the Office of Exorcism of the Archdiocese of Manila, says dark rooms without blessed objects like that occupied by the girl attract sinister forces.

What are elementals?

Fr. Jose Francisco Syquia, director of the Archdiocese of Manila Office of Exorcism, says nature spirits and elementals like lamang lupa and engkanto are actually fallen angels or demons.

“Revelation 12:9 clearly said that after their defeat, Satan and the fallen angels were thrown down to earth. They reside in nature itself,” Syquia explains in his book “Exorcism: Encounters with the Paranormal and the Occult.”

Syquia also quotes Athanasius, early Church Father of the 4th century, who talked of “demons occupying springs or rivers or trees or stones (and) cheated men by deceptive appearances.”

The priest says well-known deliverance minister Francis MacNutt also warned that “evil spirits roam and influence the five areas of earth, air, fire, water and nature.”

Nature worship is nothing new in the Philippines. Natives were known to worship anitos or the spirits of the dead before the Spaniards arrived.

Spanish friars dismissed anito worship as devil worship and destroyed all objects and literature used for this purpose.

The Catholic Church tells the faithful that when a person dies, his soul can only go to any of the following: heaven (if one was pious), hell (if one continued to be unrepentant at the point of death) or purgatory (if one had not adequately atoned for his sins).

After death, the soul has no business wandering on earth and demanding that it be worshipped by surviving descendants.

The Church discourages the local tradition of sacrificing the blood of chickens at the site of houses or buildings that would be constructed.

This is because God does not demand such sacrifices or senseless favors. He is pleased when a person loves his neighbor.

The Church also disapproves of the recitation of “tabi-tabi po” and similar incantations when one approaches a tree or shrub especially at night.

“The Holy Angels would not feel slighted or become angry when a mortal who cannot see spirits could not acknowledge their presence. It is better if one recites the ‘Hail Mary’ if he feels uncomfortable because evil spirits are afraid of the Queen of Angels,” Syquia told the Inquirer in an interview in 2006.

“Our God is a God of love and mercy and does not seek vengeance for such imagined misdemeanors,” he said.
