Do you know that tikbalang has unique variants?
Balendik is white, skinny tikbalang.
Bentohangin is flying tikbalang that can carry you anywhere you like.
Binangunan is fierce tikbalang that has fire on his back from head to tail.
Onglo is smelly tikbalang that makes you itchy.
My take here is people's lives can get really busy and overwhelming, and just expecting a reply in a flash over a four hour connection is a bit... concerning. Sometimes, things aren't really about you to begin with.
