Aswang in the Philippines Caught : NOT!

I’m going to post in tagalog dahil nanggagalaiti talaga at nag ngingitngit ako sa galit ng malaman kong nakahuli.. daw ng “aswang” ang military men sa pilipinas as per reported by TV Patrol. Andyan pa naman si kuya kim.. mahiya naman kayo sa balat nyo..

This is a flying fox. Not an aswang or a “witch” We live in a modern age and still we mis-inform our people just to get publicity.

The giant golden-crowned flying fox (Acerodon jubatus), also known as the golden-capped fruit bat, is a rare megabat[2] and one of the largest bats in the world.[3] The species is endangered and is currently facing the possibility of extinction because of poaching and forest destruction. It is endemic to forests in the Philippines.[1]

Okay translation: So you guys are going to hunt for witches? Go ahead, totally extinct their species.
