00:00If you're looking for a quick summer getaway, Pantihan Falls is a perfect destination in Maragondon, Cavite.

00:09The name Pantihan comes from the word pamamanti, a traditional catchment of fish using a panti or pinong lambat.

00:18The water in Talon has a peculiar coolness that is reminiscent of Alinsangan.

00:30But the constant talk about Pantihan Falls is the main reason why people are still coming here until now.

00:39Every year, when there's an earthquake, it doesn't go back to normal.

00:44Because every year, someone dies.

00:49In Talon, it's not the lifeguards who are watching over the people who are bathing.

00:55It's a woman who is possessed.

00:59A black lady.

01:01They are watching over the river because it's a sacred place.

01:05Most of the time, it's the evil spirits, especially the black ones,

01:10because they take people when it's noisy and they are noisy to the people.

01:16One of the people who experienced the importance of Pantihan Falls is our group member, Jens, who visited Talon in 2023.

01:25Because of the lockdown, we were stuck at home for a long time.

01:32That was our last outing.

01:38Wow! What a boat!

01:41Hey! My pregnant wife! Let's go!

01:45Let's water ourselves!

01:51While the group is having fun,

01:58suddenly, one of their companions got sick.

02:01He said that he didn't feel good, his teeth hurt, and he's emotional.

02:11While the couple is about to drown,

02:14His wife said,

02:16I know how to swim, but it's deep and you have to go down.

02:23She heard a voice calling her.

02:27But when she looked for her, she couldn't find her.

02:32Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!

02:35Because of all the bad things that happened that day,

02:38the group started to get out of the boat.

02:40But before they could leave,

02:42Let's go back there!

02:44Later! Later!

02:46Let's go back there! Let's go back there!

02:48Their companion got sick.

02:50He suddenly said,

02:52Let's go back there!

02:54Suddenly, his aura changed.

02:57Serious.

02:59And he said,

03:01like a smile,

03:03Let's go back there. Let's not leave.

03:05Let's go back there! Let's go back there!

03:07He got sick.

03:09Even though he has a big body,

03:11he can still do it.

03:15They immediately brought their friend to the Albulary.

03:21According to the Albulary,

03:23they found a black lady in the area.

03:29There are good people and bad people.

03:36Those are called white and black.

03:40Instead of being happy,

03:42they were afraid of getting sick.

03:48They did not hesitate to return to the place.

03:53In the study of Anthropologists from the University of the Philippines,

03:57Dr. Nestor Castro,

03:59the black ladies are new to the world.

04:02To the Filipinos,

04:03anything black is assumed to be bad.

04:08So, she is a guardian,

04:10but she got sick.

04:12That is the meaning of being a black lady.

04:17And these beliefs are deeply rooted.

04:21First of all, we should remember that the Philippines is an archipelago.

04:26They notice a lot of things happening in these waters that they cannot explain.

04:35So, they attribute this to supernatural beings,

04:39like Shokoy or Sirena,

04:43who want to be appeased

04:46so that they will not harm people.

04:50Sometimes, people get sick,

04:53but they are just shy.

04:55There is an explanation for this.

04:58We should remember that these waters are not just painful.

05:05Usually, they are only painful

05:09if you have done something bad to them.

05:12How did they do it?

05:14Of course, the beliefs of the elders

05:19is because these mythological creatures have powers.

05:31To know more about the story of the first black lady in Talon,

05:35visit Pantian Falls.

05:39Oh, it's dangerous to walk here.

05:42What's that?

05:44Oh, falls?

05:53After walking for 10 minutes,

05:56you can see water dripping from a hole.

05:59There are a lot of kids swimming.

06:01But you may wonder, this is not the original Pantian Falls.

06:05Is it real?

06:13Because of the flood,

06:17the barangay and the government of Maraguyan

06:21totally closed this place.

06:25The old Talon is now dry.

06:29The water from the irrigation was blocked.

06:32What we know about Pantian Falls now,

06:34is that it is not far from the old Talon.

06:37This Talon is a blessing in disguise

06:39because there are still people swimming here

06:42even though the old Talon is dry.

06:44There is also no sufficient foundation

06:46for the fear of the black lady in Talon.

06:49I don't know if you are a white lady or a black lady.

06:52I don't know.

06:54It's just a belief.

06:56The river ranger, Jer, explains that

06:59the strong water and the carelessness of the swimmers

07:02is the cause of the accidents

07:04that lead to death.

07:06Do you believe that someone is drowning there?

07:09Or is it just because it's too deep

07:11that you were forced to swim?

07:14For me, I was scared.

07:16I don't know.

07:18Because I'm a diver.

07:20I don't know.

07:22Some people are walking.

07:24So, if it's time to jump,

07:26I was forced to swim.

07:28I was tired.

07:30I don't know if it's because of the cost of drowning.

07:32How about you?

07:33There was a time when someone died there.

07:35He was drunk.

07:37He was drunk.

07:39You can drown.

07:54To be honest,

07:56you really need to go to another place.

07:59You're not sure if it's deep.

08:01You don't know if it could be an accident.

08:03You need to know first

08:05before you jump

08:07to avoid the accident.
