Lore
Berberoka is a greedy water demon in Apayao (Philippine) folklore, a massive creature that drinks entire rivers to trap fish and drown fishermen, then spits the water back to cause floods. Living in swamps, it embodies overfishing and greed's consequences. Berberoka represents the dangers of exploiting nature and the wrath of water spirits. In myths, it punishes those who take too much, serving as a warning to respect natural resources and maintain balance in indigenous Philippine tradition.
