00:00 According to Maylene, aside from the shadow persons that she saw,
00:04 she also has what's called devil's tongue.
00:07 Where the bad things that she says to a person,
00:12 sometimes it really happens or it's true.
00:16 Just like what happened to her ex-boyfriend.
00:20 I said, because of my anger,
00:22 "I hope you won't be able to walk, your feet will be injured, you'll be hard."
00:26 I said that.
00:27 Then later, I called her and she said she got angry
00:31 because I did what I said.
00:33 It happened to Maylene many times before.
00:49 The devil's tongue is like a poisonous tongue.
00:55 Whatever you say that's harmful to your partner, it will happen.
00:59 And there's really a time frame.
01:02 According to a book called "A Dictionary of Cebuano Visayan"
01:06 that was collected by John Wolfe from Cornell University in New York,
01:10 the devil has a meaning that "for bites to be poisonous"
01:14 and the devil's tongue is a person who has a tendency
01:20 that whatever bad thing he says will come true.
01:25 These people usually have birthmarks on their tongues.
01:29 There are instances where they say that there are marks on the tip of their tongues.
01:36 I can see the black pigmentation on her tongue.
01:39 It would be also important if I could touch her tongue
01:43 to see if there are hard parts or rough parts,
01:48 the smoothness, because that will also give us an idea of what this is.
01:51 But if it's only pigmentation, then it may be just hyperpigmentation of the tongue.
01:57 It may not be necessarily abnormal.
02:00 It's easier for us to comprehend.
02:02 That's why things happen, there's a reasoning behind it.
02:05 So with the devil's tongue, it's no different except the fact that it's attributed to someone
02:10 that foretold that this will happen.
02:11 So that's why misfortune happens that doesn't really make sense
02:14 because someone is to blame for it.
02:17 The devil's tongue, my translation of it is,
02:20 "I curse you, I will not forgive you."
02:23 Curses, it's like someone is cursing you, you're being cursed.
02:26 That's also true because it's also diabolical.
02:29 That's why it affected us.
02:31 That's what I was thinking, that's why I didn't think about my anger.
02:37 I don't want to say anything because it might become true.
02:41 The events that Mylene experienced until now are still clear in her memory.
02:47 Since I was young, my classmates bullied me.
02:50 It's like a big trauma for me that I will just choose the people I want to be friends with.
02:56 I told my father, I said, "I need help."
02:59 He said, he didn't want to talk to me.
03:01 He said, "If we look for a child psychologist, it means our family will be destroyed."
03:07 "Our family will be destroyed." He said.
03:09 My outlet is alcohol.
03:11 At 16, I became an alcoholic.
03:13 At the age of 17, this is where she started to act up.
03:18 That's why she tried to talk to her father about what was happening to her.
03:23 I said, "I don't know if I'm normal."
03:26 "Why is everyone angry with me, the other people?"
03:32 "They don't know me."
03:33 That's it. Until I graduated from high school, I applied for a job, I still have anxiety.
03:40 To better understand her experience, we asked Mylene to consult a psychologist.
03:47 Now that you're 40, is there still a chance that they are still the same person you see or different?
03:53 When my mind is relaxed, I don't think about anything else, that's when I notice them.
04:01 According to Dr. Garcia, Mylene has extrasensory perception or ESP.
04:06 Our mind goes beyond what we know, what we can sense.
04:11 If you really entertain that, you can make a way to clearly hear the messages that these people want to convey.
04:22 Or maybe what she sees are elementary things.
04:25 She just doesn't want to develop it yet.
