Man Who Climbs Roof to Cool Off Following Argument w/ Partner Mistaken for Aswang
A man in Iloilo City was mistaken for an aswang after he was spotted on the roof to cool off following an argument with his live-in partner.
On October 23, 2026, a video showing the man on top of a roof reportedly caught the attention of people online. The video was taken in Barangay West Habog-Habog, Molo, Iloilo City.
The video has a caption:
“SPOTTED SA ILOILO! Isang umano’y aswang, namataan sa ibabaw ng bubong sa Brgy. West Habog-Habog, Molo, Iloilo City! “
Recently, the man clarified that he was trying to cool his head after an argument with his live-in partner. He and his live-in partner had a disagreement over a personal matter. Instead of continuing the argument, the man reportedly decided to distance himself and spend some time alone.
He then climbed onto the roof of their house, apparently seeking a place to cool off and calm down.
The unusual scene led to speculation that an aswang, a creature from Filipino folklore, had been spotted in the area. The man was spotted sitting or staying on the roof, prompting people to wonder what he was doing there.
The investigation also found that the video may have been recorded by a neighbor before being shared on social media. However, the identity of the person who recorded it was not confirmed.
For residents who were wondering about the strange figure on the roof, the story turned out to be less about a supernatural creature and more about someone trying to cool his head after a lover’s quarrel.
