I showed this to my Filipino friend and he said that the “wang” is a hard A like Khan.
Also said: “Although the description of aswang as vampiric is technically erroneous. They go for the unborn and suck the baby out of the mother’s belly when she’s asleep.”
ETA: “They have a thin hollow tube that extends from the tip of their tongue. They get in the house crawling on the ceiling above the victim, then lower their “proboscis?” to feed on the unborn.”
Which is even worse!
ETA2: “And get this, the mother isn’t harmed. She goes into deep sleep, wakes up in the morning screaming because no more baby.”
