I ran a short feature on albularlyo and mangkukulam a few months ago when my husband had bell palsy. Since then, so many readers have messaged me looking for mangkukulam. Some sounded so urgent. Merong galit sa misis kasi daw nag left turn, meron namang girlfriend who wanted to put her ex-boyfriend under her spell.
(Two Examples:
1. And how if im here in abroad also the person na gusto kung ipakulam paano po proseso at ano mga bagay na need ko iprovide salamat po
2. I need mangkukulam or mambabarang very badly,)
I did a few posts after that to clarify that I did not know any particular mangkukulam, or someone engaged in witchcraft. But still many are asking me about this kulam thing. Some even think I am the mangkukulam.
Dyos ko, madami na nga akong wrinkles pero I am not yet in that level na mapagkakamalan na akong mukhang mangkukulam. Pwede ba uulitin ko na naman. Hindi po ako mangkukulam.
Dear readers and friends, sobra akong beautiful para mangkulam. Even when I am angry at people who wronged me, I don’t lift a finger to get even at them thru kulam or to harm them. I just prayed and continued to live my life. I make a lot of mistakes but I try my best to be a good person. Dapa, bangon, dapa ulit, bangon ulit.
God has blessed me and my family with some comforts and continues to help us in our problems and needs. There are tough times and good times too. Sometimes our problems are caused by our being so trusting and sometimes plain stupidity. I have been duped ay naku not only two dozen times, baka 50 times pa. Pero hangga ngayon hindi ko pa rin ipinakukulam yung mga taong yan.
I fully understand why you out there are looking for a way to express your anger to a person who you think have failed you, or to use magic powers to win someone over
A piece of advice to you in general:
1. If your boyfriend breaks-up with you, hayaan mo na lang. Huwag ipilit ang sarili. My motto when I was younger, “kung ayaw mo sa akin, eh di ayaw ko din sa iyo”. Simple lang. Hanggang ngayon ganyan pa rin ako. Siguro pride. Pero bakit ipipilit kung ayaw na sa akin? I’d rather that he tells me he doesn’t love me anymore rather than uuwi nga pero inis na inis naman sa akin.
2. It’s natural to panic and feel distraught after a break-up, I know it’s nakakaiyak, but I believe that a relationship must be based on LOVE, LOVE and LOVE. This must be the foundation to keep you together. If the guy doesn’t love you anymore, eh paano? Kukulamin natin? Eh one day the spell would be broken and he’ll snap and wake up, and leave you.
3. Many Filipinos working abroad have experienced their wives making a left turn. Actually it doesn’t matter where you are or if you’re living physically together. If one wants to make a left turn, you can’t control that. I think we humans have a propensity to get attracted to the opposite sex when we are feeling alone, lonely, or flattered or when we are needing extra attention. It doesn’t happen to everyone, but it can happen to both male and female. You just have to manage your risks. There will always be risks that your spouse will get attracted to someone, be it in the workplace (secretaries, office mates, kasambaho), at home (maids, drivers, bodyguards, boy), or just anywhere. Sa bus, train, jeep, plane, elevator, golf course, any where. You cannot keep her / him inside your house to prevent this from happening. Baka naman yun maids or drivers ang kalantariin. When something unfortunate like this happens, syempre maiinis ka, magagalit, pero kulam will na solve this mess. Kung may pagka gago ang asawa mo, walang gamot dyan, kahit ipakulam mo.
4. Kung kayo naman ay naloko, remember, it takes two to tango. Sabi nga walang manloloko kung walang paloloko. Ako nga naku Dyos ko, lagi na lang akong naloloko kasi kasalanan ko. Alam ko na nga, naniniwala pa ako sa drama nila. Kaya eto, daming beses na. Hindi naman ako marunong madala. Kung hindi ako nagpabola, eh di hindi ako nabola. Simple lang yan. Useless kung ipapakulam ko sila. Babalik din ang swerte sa akin. I am sure whatever I have lost due to my gullibility, would come back in so many ways. Good health and safety for me and my family, good health and safety for all my siblings and their respective families, relatives and friends. Peace, prosperity and more success in our endeavors.
5. If you hurt someone or cast him/her under your spell, that is something bad. You don’t want to be a bad person. Galit ka nga sa kanya dahil you think he/she is bad, tapos you will do something bad too. Don’t. Forget about kulam. #choosetobegood
So people of the Philippines, hindi po ako mangkukulam. Payo ko lang, don’t bother or don’t waste your time looking for a mangkukulam. Magdasal na lang at taimtim na manalangin for God to guide you in your journey thru life.
Peace.
