Morga, Governor General of the Philippines from 1595-1596, made reference to the use of wine from coconut and nipa palms as MEDICINE by the natives. It was believed that any person afflicted with a disease that could not be traced to any specific cause was under the spell of the witch or victim of WITCHCRAFT. OTHER SUPERTITIOUS BELIEFS Bamboo joints that are used for fire are put into the fire, joint first. A breech presentation surely results. Tight band around the waist of a prospective mother prevents fetus from growing. Massage makes a parturient woman strong, so that the whole body is massage for 10-15 consecutive days. An ASWANG always watches a prospective mother when she sleeps, she should cover herself with a black sheet to escape from being noticed by the ASWANG. OTHER SUPERTITIOUS BELIEFS Dressing of the cord with ashes, tobacco, sand and powdered coconut shall give rise to very serious results. Colostrum is an unfit food for the newborn. A little bag containing garlic, corn and a piece of horn tied around the baby’s neck prevent witches from coming. When a child has a high temperature, the mother closes the windows in the house, afraid that a whiff of air might endanger the life of the child. The diet of the child was limited to LUGAO. DR.
