00:00 This is a statue, not a ghost, but an animal that...

00:04 At first glance, you'll think it's a kangaroo.

00:10 These are the amazing features about Cebu in Amazing Earth.

00:26 The statue of Sigbin has its own statue in Cebu.

00:30 Come, let's find out why it was built.

00:33 Exactly a year ago, bushfires destroyed a huge part of Australia.

00:40 More than 18 million hectares were burned

00:44 in what is considered the worst bushfire in Australian history.

00:49 But because of what happened,

00:51 more than a billion animals were affected by the fire.

00:55 Kangaroos are now considered the national animal of Australia.

01:00 So, what, ma'am, see you?

01:02 Ma'am, see you.

01:03 In the Philippines, there are no kangaroos.

01:07 But in the town of Santander, in the province of Cebu...

01:12 There is a landmark in the park that attracts people who come here.

01:22 This is a statue, not a ghost, but an animal that...

01:26 At first glance, you'll think it's a kangaroo.

01:32 But according to Santanderans,

01:36 this is not a kangaroo, but a sigbin.

01:39 If you go to the mountains and you don't bring garlic or salt,

01:44 you will be bitten by a sigbin.

01:49 This is the artist's impression of the sigbin.

01:53 It was built here in 1993

01:58 because at that time, there were many bushes and bushes,

02:03 and this is where many sigbin were tasted.

02:06 According to the book, 101 Ancestral Sites,

02:13 the sigbin looks like a goat without horns.

02:19 But it has big ears.

02:20 And its body is like a kangaroo.

02:25 Its front legs are short and it has a tail that can be smashed like a stick.

02:31 The sigbin is feared

02:35 because it is believed to have swallowed the blood of people

02:40 by spitting on the face of their victim.

02:45 This February, according to a news report by One Mindanao of GMA Regional TV,

02:52 a man was attacked by a sigbin in Barangay Santa Cruz, Davao del Sur.

02:57 If you don't have a gun, you're not a boss.

03:00 You're a thief.

03:01 You're a thief.

03:03 You're a thief.

03:05 You're a thief.

03:07 You're a thief.

03:08 But you're a thief.

03:11 There are people who believe in the luck of the sigbin.

03:15 They call them sigbinan,

03:19 a rich and powerful family that cares for the sigbin.

03:25 In this big town, they only hide their fears.

03:30 If you care for the sigbin, you can go to different places

03:35 or wherever you want.

03:37 According to our elders,

03:40 if you have a sigbin, you can live a long time.

03:44 The statue was erected in the place where the sigbin is often seen.

03:51 Now, it is a landmark in Sanayon site.

03:57 From here, you can see the islands of Bukol, Siquijor, Sumilon, and Negros.

04:03 And this is not the only place worth seeing in Santander.

04:08 I heard that there is a sigbin, but I didn't see it.

04:14 So I don't believe that there is a sigbin here in Santander.

04:18 Our ancestors used to talk about the fact that there are a lot of sigbin in that place.

04:28 But now, we know that sigbin doesn't exist here in Santander.

04:37 It's just a myth.

04:39 The sigbin statue is just one proof that here in Santander,

04:45 their culture is rich in their hometown's story.

04:49 Rich in their beautiful culture,

04:52 of their hometown that can be proud of all over the world.

04:57 To our On The Go viewers,

05:00 watch the live stream of our program on the official accounts of GME Network,
