Lore
Wakwak is a tree-hanging vampire in Visayan (Philippine) folklore, appearing as fruit or a creature on trees at night, detaching to fly and suck blood with a distinctive "wak wak" laugh. It preys on victims in darkness, embodying the terror of the night and the hidden dangers of nature. Wakwak represents fear of the unknown in rural areas and the supernatural threats lurking in trees. In myths, it serves as a warning to avoid wandering at night and respect the natural world in Philippine tradition.
