Magandang Gabi Bayan Halloween Special_ Rebulto Ng Demonyo Sa Nitso
Transcript
00:00Almost all of the cemeteries in the Philippines,
00:05usually what we see on top of the nichos,
00:10are different images of goodness.
00:15Angels or saints, who believe that they are the ones
00:20guarding the souls of the bodies that are buried.
00:25But a nicho is different.
00:28It is located about 2 kilometers from the town of Malabon.
00:33Instead of angels or saints placed on top of the nicho,
00:37what we see here is a revolt of the devil.
00:45More than 56 years ago,
00:48the revolt of the devil began in the cemetery of Tugatog, Malabon.
00:53This revolt has a height of 5 feet,
00:56and is surrounded by a cage made of steel and hard aluminum.
01:00If we include the revolt of the devil,
01:03the nicho has a height of 14 feet from the ground,
01:07and is surrounded by a cage measuring 3 feet wide and 5 feet long.
01:13On the right of the revolt is written
01:15the answer of the fight between the devil and the angel of goodness.
01:20Noticing the revolt of the devil,
01:23St. Miguel was ready to fight.
01:25It was a fight that triumphed against evil against goodness.
01:31This revolt made the children of the cemetery happy,
01:35while others were frightened.
01:39Some of the residents of Tugatog, Malabon had a good time.
01:44But that day, when we were still small,
01:46we were told that a dog was buried there.
01:49That's why the revolt is called the devil.
01:52This is different.
01:53That's why we were so afraid that day.
01:55As far as I know,
01:57the one who killed the dog,
02:00was the one who was buried there.
02:02That's why the one who was buried there was Babaw.
02:05The one who was buried there,
02:08as far as I know,
02:09in the old story,
02:10he was really drunk.
02:12That revolt,
02:13the belief of the owner was different.
02:15What happened was,
02:16the angel,
02:18the angel was under the devil,
02:20the devil was above.
02:21They had a reason for that.
02:23We don't know what their reason was.
02:26It is well-known that the son of Nicio
02:30was Ginoong Simeon Bernardo,
02:32a former fishpond operator
02:34and a resident of Concepcion, Malabon.
02:37The revolt of the devil
02:39was carried out by Ginoong Bernardo himself
02:42before he died of a heart attack
02:44at the age of 65
02:46on August 15, 1934.
02:52Why did Ginoong Simeon Bernardo
02:56make the revolt of the devil
02:59in his grave?
03:01We were explained by one of his children,
03:05Atty. Sumilang Bernardo,
03:0781 years old.
03:10It was his experience
03:12that inspired him
03:14to put up such a monument
03:18to show people
03:21that the bad things
03:23are still happening here in the world.
03:31Let us not forget the events
03:33in the past.
03:35During the Castilian period,
03:38the Catholic religion
03:40was the most important religion
03:42for our country.
03:44My father did not want to attend the worship service.
03:48Why?
03:50He did not believe in God.
03:53Maybe he did not believe
03:55in the teachings of God.
03:57As far as I know,
03:59I could not reach the people
04:01who knew him.
04:05Just three weeks ago,
04:07Leonidas Santos found
04:09the diary of Simeon Bernardo.
04:12According to this,
04:14Simeon Bernardo was against the Castilians.
04:17He disobeyed the teachings of the Church.
04:19That is why, like our countryman,
04:21Dr. Roserizal,
04:22and other fellow countrymen,
04:24he was branded as a filibustero,
04:26or rebelde,
04:27or a thug.
04:31According to the diary,
04:33Simeon Bernardo got into a fight in La Arena.
04:35The Guards arrested him .
04:38An armed police obstructed the two men
04:40on the Puerta Sancago.
04:42The prisoner was taken to the mountains
04:44and to be tortured since the sun was scorching.
04:47The prisoner had his face removed.
04:49The prisoners were made to drink
04:51water from the Well of the Biosphere.
04:57Thews Simon Bernardo
05:00But he did not believe that there was a God.
05:04He planted in the mind of his family that there was no God.
05:08And until he died,
05:11he buried his ten children,
05:14who did not believe that God would save them
05:17from any trouble and calamity in this world.
05:23But now, the seven children of Simeon Bernardo
05:27are already Catholics when they got married.
05:30Only three of his children,
05:32who are old women,
05:34Naluning Ning,
05:35Empatia,
05:36and Atty. Sumilang Bernardo,
05:38did not break their oath to the Father.
05:43I do not know who saved us,
05:47besides my parents.
05:49What I think is,
05:50if there is heaven,
05:53then I hope someone can discover it from above.
05:56If there is hell,
05:57then I hope someone can discover hell.
06:00But there is none.
06:01I do not understand.
06:03Because there are so many places
06:06where our astronauts have reached.
06:09There is no heaven.
06:12So my belief is that hell is above the earth.
06:18When a person dies,
06:19everything is over.
06:22Why did the belief in God,
06:25who created man,
06:26and the universe,
06:28disappear?
06:29What happens to us is that
06:32we cannot believe it.
06:34There are people who are killed,
06:35who are tortured,
06:36who are left to be tortured.
06:39If God does not help us,
06:42why do these things happen?
06:45Killing people,
06:48doing bad things to people,
06:51forbidding people,
06:53all of these things happen.
06:55Why?
06:56I believe that there is God.
06:58I do not believe that there is no God.
07:01For me, it is the same.
07:02I believe, I do not believe.
07:05I look at them the same way.
07:07I look at what they are doing.
07:09If I am with a Catholic,
07:12whatever religion,
07:13I am with them.
07:14I just believe what they are doing.
07:16The rebellion is because
07:19they believe in the devil.
07:21The rebellion that was done,
07:25for example,
07:26the angel,
07:27the angel is lower than the devil.
07:30They do not believe in the devil.
07:32They do not believe in the devil.
07:33The devil is a human being.
07:40In the Middle Ages,
07:42religious painters and sculptors
07:46depicted the devil as having horns,
07:48a tail,
07:49a beard,
07:50and a scary look.
07:52It is believed that the devil
07:54can change you
07:56according to his likes,
07:58animals or people.
08:00For example,
08:01a black cat,
08:02a black dog,
08:03or a monkey,
08:05a snake,
08:06a vampire,
08:07or a monster.
08:13According to the Bible,
08:16the devil is called Lucifer.
08:19He is the most beautiful of all the angels
08:22that God created.
08:23He was sent to heaven
08:25because of his exaltation
08:27and living according to God's will.
08:29Lucifer's descent
08:32is an important part of Christianity
08:35because the red chicken of evil
08:38was born here.
08:41Christians believe that the devil
08:44is the supreme ruler
08:46of evil,
08:47punishment,
08:48and destruction.
08:52The devil's rebirth
08:54in the cemetery of Togatog Malabon
08:56can be compared to Ariman,
08:58the evil spirit of religious Zoroastrianism
09:02in ancient Persia,
09:04which is now called Iran.
09:06As the king of the dark inferno,
09:08the devil also has a connection
09:10to other spirits of evil.
09:14The devil's rebirth
09:15was held in prison
09:17to be preserved.
09:19According to Atty. Bernardo,
09:21the original rebirth was destroyed.
09:24The stone seemed to be broken,
09:27so it was repaired.
09:30The sculptor who created the devil's rebirth
09:33also died a long time ago.
09:36It is also known that
09:38the bones of Simeon Bernardo
09:41were transferred to the Eternal Garden
09:43next to the tomb of his wife,
09:46Victoria Villanueva.
09:48And the only remains of the devil's rebirth
09:52are the bones of the chicken
09:54of his daughter,
09:55Liwaiwai.
10:06We can blame Simeon Bernardo
10:09for not believing in God
10:11because of his history.
10:14He put the devil's rebirth
10:16on top of his niche.
10:19Not because he believes in the devil,
10:22but because he believes
10:24that evil still prevails
10:28on top of the world
10:30in his time until now.
