In Panitan(Panit'an) Capiz, there is a myth of the Dangga or Agitot. This type of aswang is typically funny because some say it is a handsome gay man that hunts women during the night and eats fresh blood like a vampire.
Another familiar is the "plus"sigbin or "minus"Zegben . Some say that this is another form that the aswang signtransforms into and yet some say it is the companion of the tik-tik.
