00:00Mga ka-aha, do you know where the statue of Dambuhalang Ahas is?
00:07I feel like it was raised by the statue behind me.
00:11Actually, I don't know.
00:13Well, that's one of the things you need to watch out for.
00:20It's a beautiful morning this week,
00:22because we will learn the story behind this view in the town of Mandawan, Masbate.
00:27Where is Dambuhalang Tipak ng Bato?
00:30Is it a gigantic statue?
00:33I am Sir Rodito Ortega Rivas,
00:36also known as Sir Rod Ortega.
00:38I am 29 years old,
00:41and I was born here in the town of Mandawan.
00:43Just a disclaimer,
00:45Rod is not a historian,
00:47but he spent his whole life in this place.
00:49That's why his knowledge about the story of Ahas na Bato
00:52has long been rooted in his personality.
00:55This is where he grew up in Mandawan.
00:58I became interested in Ahas na Bato
01:00when I heard about it way back in my childhood days,
01:03around the year 2000,
01:05because we used to travel to Manila.
01:09We used to pass by Pader,
01:11where Ahas na Bato is located.
01:13They call it Bato,
01:15the Big Tipak.
01:16This is where Ahas na Bato is located.
01:20The passengers of that boat,
01:22Biyahing Lucena,
01:24are waiting for us to pass by Ahas na Bato.
01:27Ahas na Bato is huge,
01:30and its eyes are round,
01:32shaped like an egg.
01:35According to legend,
01:37many people pass by Ahas na Bato
01:39because of its size,
01:41it is not impossible for it to sink.
01:43The time has come for Ahas na Bato
01:46to reach the top of a mountain.
01:48It needs to look for food
01:50under the sea.
01:52Unfortunately,
01:54it was not allowed
01:56by the locals
01:58and it was flooded.
02:00That's why it became a rock.
02:02When it reaches the bottom of the sea,
02:04and it sinks there,
02:06it can eat a lot,
02:08and many people can swim in the sea.
02:11Hi guys!
02:13This story is made by Rod's Vlogs
02:16and posted online.
02:18His video clips reached 72 days
02:20about what he said about Ahas na Bato.
02:22That's the wall,
02:24the Ahas is down here,
02:26the Ahas is down there,
02:28and it goes here.
02:30Let's just imagine how big it is.
02:32Is it true?
02:34Because the residents always give us
02:36if the story of Ahas na Bato is true
02:38and I believe in it.
02:40This is the most famous version of them.
02:43Many have the same information like this.
02:46Did you know that in the history of mythology,
02:48Ahas and Bato did not change?
02:51Of course,
02:53the influence was mixed
02:55from the stories for TV shows.
02:57Like the stories of
02:59the epic of the Greeks.
03:04There's Medusa
03:06whose hair is like an Ahas,
03:10and when you look at it,
03:12you become a rock.
03:13We borrowed that from the stories
03:15in the comics of Darna
03:17when Valentina became like that.
03:19Her head is also like an Ahas.
03:21But the story of Ahas na Bato
03:23is the opposite.
03:25Because instead of the enemy of the Ahas
03:27who became a rock,
03:29it is himself who was
03:31punished in the story.
03:33That's the nature of the stories of the town.
03:35We can see there
03:37the belief of the Filipinos
03:39that no matter what super powers
03:41they have,
03:43those supernatural beings
03:45have something superior to them.
03:48If they do evil,
03:50they will be punished.
