MY RATING: 5 of 5 stars
Tabi Po is a Filipino graphic novel written and illustrated by Mervin Malonzo. It is about the story of Aswangs, a flesh-eating, and shapeshifter individuals during the time of the Spanish colonization in the Philippines.
Aswang is one of the famous mythical beings in the Philippines folklore. It was said that aswang and other similar creatures were made up by the Spanish friars to instill fear among the Filipinos, notably the natives, so they can spread the Catholic doctrine in the country.
Both the story and the drawings are cleverly thought and plan; readers will enjoy this extraordinary graphic novel, even if you're not entirely fascinated with myths and folklore.
