Today, stories proving that tikbalang and engkanto are no match to true and pure love.

Watch the first salvo of the Halloween Special series of Karelasyon and Wagas.

On GMA-7’s Karelasyon, Philip Salvador plays a father willing to offer himself to a spirit to save his beloved son.

Andrei (Philip) is an OFW who brings his son Bien (Mikoy Morales)—a special child—to the province a few months before he resumes work abroad. While in a forest to catch iguanas, they stumble upon a cave. Apparently, a forest spirit or engkanto dwells inside the cave and iss disturbed by their presence.

As a precautionary measure and to save his son from any danger that may fall upon him, Andrei offers himself to the forest spirit. And this is where the series of mysterious events starts happening to their family.

Joining Philip and Mikoy are Sharmaine Arnaiz, Lou Veloso, Elle Ramirez, and Prince Clemente

Meanwhile, GMA News TV’s Wagas features indie film actress Mercedes Cabral twith Kapuso hunks Dion Ignacio and Jak Roberto.

Dion’s character in the episode, Rody, is the husband of Jodie (Mercedes). The couple lives in a remote area in Quezon. While doing her laundry in the river, Josie meets Jonathan (Jak)—a mysterious man who is always clad in white. For strange reasons, Josie seems to always find herself attracted to the river where she and Jonathan constantly meet.

It comes to a point that Rody, suspecting that something is going on with his wife, follows Josie to the river. Unseen by Rody, Josie apparently sees a man who transforms into a horse when evening comes.

From then on, Josie acts weird, most of the times not herself. Rody wakes up in the middle of the night and finds her moaning, as if someone is attacking her. In fact, Josie has bruises on her shoulders and thighs—marks that resemble the feet of a horse. When Rody brings his wife to a folk healer (albularyo), they are informed that Josie is under the spell of a tikbalang or a human horse. Worse, Josie is pregnant with the child of the said creature.

While other men would doubt their wives and even leave, Rody stood by Josie. He takes her to all the albularyo and doctors available, even going out of town to seek medical help. As Josie continues to weaken because of the spell, Rody is determined to have his wife treated.

Catch these two unique stories about the power of love today. Karelasyon with Carla Abellana as host airs after #LIKE on GMA-7, while Wagas airs 7 p.m. on GMA News TV.
