Biringan (Part 1): The Land of Enchantment

In the Province of Samar, the Philippines, the mention of “Biringan” evokes awe, fear, intrigue, knocking on wood and innumerable signs of the Cross.

What is Biringan? It is reportedly an undefined location somewhere between Calbayog City and Catarman, Northern Samar, where a mythic city(ies) of indescribable grandeur is/are said to exist, unvisited by ordinary mortals, known only by magnificent folk stories that refuse to die despite the advent of television and the internet. Other reports extend its area to as far south as San Jorge, Samar.

Biringan’s “now-you-see-it, now-you-don’t” quality indicates it is not of the usual land and water terrain in which we live in. It seems to exist in a different dimension, which explains why its boundaries can overlap with known towns and cities of Samar island. On moonless nights, seafarers aplenty have reported seeing a dazzling city of light. In a few minutes, though, the manifestation is no longer visible. Obviously, Biringan is not likely to be shown on any map or atlas. But specialized (infrared, ultraviolet, etc.) satellite mapping photography have reportedly turned up a shining area in the reported general location of Biringan.

They say Biringan is the legendary home of the encantos (enchanted ones) and half-encanto, half-human progeny. The encantos are most likely elementals, as old as the mountains and rivers in the area. They are apparently shapechangers because they have been reported to appear in whatever form they wish, human or not. But in human form, their distinguishing characteristic is the lack of the philtrum, the indentation below the nose and above the upper lip.

Dad ng nanay ko, at 2 younger brothers nya, nandun sa Biringan City. Yung dad ng nanay palagi sinusundo ng mga tga Biringan na nangangabayo daw, and this was 40 years ago, kabayo pa ginagamit ng mga tao dun. Nung June 2011, co-teacher ko din binibisita din ng mga Biringan people at nakaparada daw sa labas ng bahay nila magagarang mga kotse, siya lang pinapakita. Pano muntik na ako masagasaan ng asawa nya, kaya binalikan ang misis nyang new co-teacher ko lang.

I think what you published made a bunch of sense. However, think about this,
suppose you were to create a killer headline? I am not saying your content isn't good., however what if you added a headline to possibly get a person's attention?
I mean "Biringan (Part 1): The Land of Enchantment" is a little
boring. You should peek at Yahoo's front page and note how they create article headlines to get viewers to click. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to grab people excited about what you've written.
Just my opinion, it could bring your website a little bit more interesting.
