Engkanto, in Wikipedia means "are environmental spirits that have the ability to appear in human form". They lead travelers astray, unless you have agimat or anting-anting. In some movies, they can also cause human madness, fevers, and unexplained sickness. Do you believe in them?
I don't know, but I believe that there are things in this world that cannot be explained, cannot be seen or experienced by the five senses. I believe that there are other dimensions currently presiding but maybe in a different plane. I know that the easiest and most logical explanation would be those that can be seen. And sometimes, it usually is the answer. But when our senses are exhausted, and our logic seems far-fetched, we believe that other reasons are possible.
Could this be what happened to Biki? Statements pertaining to this kind of angle:
1. Another mountaineer got lost in the Maculot for 2 days. He experienced it first hand, what it means to be played on by the engkanto. He was found in the Ligaw na Daan part of Mt. Maculot. (Deo said they searched this part but it was a dead end.)
2. The locals claim that there were several incidents of people missing in the forest. One man, found after several weeks, looking at a tree, naked, holding a picture of his girlfriend. "Na-engkanto daw." I don't know what happened to him afterwards.
3. There was a trail found by the psychics in the Ligaw na Daan, which was claimed by the locals to be a dead end with a wall of solid rock at the end (and Deo did confirm that). But when they get there, they claimed that there was a hole, where a person can pass, and a trail. They wanted to push and see what's on the other side, but the locals said they need a rope. (I think that they're thinking it to be a portal at this point.) and it was a little before 6 pm, so it was also getting dark.
4. There appears to be engkanto because there were reported incidents of spontaneous combusting fire that happened in Cuenca last year, as I have researched in the news. This was eventually solved by another psychic... Whom I am still researching about and trying to contact but cannot get the details.
5. According to another psychic in Palawan, Biki is being held by engkanto. And what do we do so he can be returned? We will know on Friday what needs to be done. Why Friday? I don't know. Is it a full moon? Maybe it's a ritual? Maybe as they say, Friday has a greater signal for this psychic connections. Or maybe it's the day before Biki's birthday? Maybe the engkanto will convene and decide what they want in exchange for Biki? Grabe, kung telenobela ito, ito na ang weekend at kailangan maghintay after 2 days kung ano ang gusto ng engkanto.
6. I don't know if this is related or not, but since I'm just writing my thoughts and trying to organize them and remember them all, I'm gonna write it anyway. The father of the ex-barangay kagawad (who was the guide for BU in Del Pilar) has been missing for several years and was never found. But my cousin told me that he "visits" his home. The family would claim that they saw the slippers at night, but in the morning it would be gone. I don't know if that means it's a ghost or as I said previously, simultaneous people living life in different dimensions or plane.
7. Biki's parents went to Dolores, Quezon to another manggagamot, saying that Biki was indeed na-engkanto. These psychics keep on telling us to pray. Apparently, our being prayer-fulness doesn't seem to be enough. But then again, I've been with this group of people, and I admit that they don't really pray much. I seem to be the only one who is concerned on making it to Sunday mass after a climb. And Biki climbed a mountain instead of observing the usual traditions during Holy Week. Is this really telling us something? Or is this just another coincidence?
Do I believe? I don't know. I just want to talk to those people who said that they found the rock to be open... But I don't know what to ask them. Or see the picture of the rock and the trail.
Though I must say, I don't know which I believe more: the foul play or the engkanto angle. This just doesn't seem to be reality anymore. It's... surreal, actually.
UPDATE: Okay, they checked the place where the rock was supposed to be solid, but according to them, it was opened like that. Like, it wasn't really closed according to other locals. That was confusing. Dahil diyan, tanggaling na ang statement 3.
