Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bulong plays on the Filipino folk belief that the dead can grant wishes if approached correctly—mixing Catholic wake traditions with pre-colonial animist practices.
Chito S. Roño directed this between Feng Shui and The Healing, essentially running a cottage industry of 'what if ordinary Filipinos encountered VERY specific curses.'
