Yeap. They're called "manananggal" and they hunt and eat babies or innards or some other stuff. Lots of other versions out there.
That's cool! Wish I learned some of my culture's martial arts...

its a bit weird for me seeing someone studying our literature... ^^
i thought no one is interested... ahahahah... its hard being a filipino...

i'm pinoy, so i didn't have any need to study philippine myths. i just knew it. :B
but yeah, i know that deal. i've come across some american artists that have drawn some philippine mythological creatures and it's quite nice to know that people of other cultures had some interest in our own culture.
