What really is Biringan? Is it a city or kingdom existing in a parallel dimension with ours? Do these two dimensions interpenetrate at times, causing the meeting of inhabitants from ours with encantos? Does this explain the ethereal now-you-see-it, now-you don’t quality of Biringan and its denizens?
To this day, Biringan remains a mysterious part of Philippine folklore. In addition, everyday stories of encounters with Biringan’s residents continue to be told. If these had simply been figments of the imagination, these stories would have died down a long time ago, what with the advent of 100+ channels cable television and the Internet. Still, fresh stories continue to crop up.
Stories such as spirit possession by Biringan’s encantos over ten school children just because their school Principal unwittingly made a bonfire next to the large balete tree in their school yard. How was the poor teacher to know that the huge tree looming large near the old school building was the abode of a Biringanon? And that she had unknowingly injured the youngest child of the invisible occupants of the tree abode?
Even modern-day kids in the Philippines, well-versed on the Japanese animé sagas of the new century, still believe in the existence of the legendary kingdom of Biringan. This is an undeniable fact. Despite all the terror attacks, all the coup rumors, the hunger, the droughts, the floods, and everything, only one thing remains unshaken by it all … Biringan.

valkyrie, this is a really creepy-cool, well-written blog!
have you seen Maricel Soriano's T2? What did you think of it? I knew nothing about Biringan when I saw it but I think it would have been greatly improved by your blog's input.
@mojacko
yes, the t2 is more similar to this so called biringan city.
"to see is to believe" that's me
pero naniniwala ako parin ako sa kwentong ganito pero gusto ko parin makita in person ung biringan city sa gabi nag papakita ...ang alam ko almost may 3rd eye ang nakakakita nito...
sana bisitahin dun ng mga medya and biringan city...request naman kau huh...
hindi maiiwasan na paniwalaan o hndi paniwalaan ang mga ganitong mga kwento dahil mga tao tayo..kung may tao may mga kaluluwa at may devil din..d2 sa ibabaw ng lupa hndi tau mga tao ang naninirahan meron din hndi nakikita .. at un ang masaklap minsan lang ang may 3rd eye na nakakakita sa knila..
sabi ng lola ko ang engkanto pag mag anyong tao sila magaganda at gwapo nagpapakita sila at kukuha nga tao dadalhin ka sa lugar nila, tawag samin bugkot na buhay.Nangyari un sa 1st cousin ng papa ko,kinuha ng mag asawang mayaman kc walang anak,buti nga sinuli..
dapat i-prove nila ang tungkol sa biringan city!
Mojacko, thank you for the kind comment. I haven't watched T2 yet but i will.
T2 was directed by Chito Rono, who is from Samar, perhaps, the story was loosely based on the Biringan tale
the film T2 is based on Biringan City story..the director chito roño is from calbayog city. during his young days in calbayog, he is fond of telling and writing stories that are creepy..perhaps that's the reason why moat of the horror movies nowadays are directed by direk chito roño and maybe most of the concepts were taken from the biringan and some stories here in calbayog..
btw, im a native of calbayog and no one from our place doesn't know the story and place of biringan..
I have been in that city before but i cant remember when was it. i just remember the name of the city called "biringan", people there were working so hard.. i am 27 now but i remember somebody had ask my age that time, and i answered "i,m 73 yo" ..i know just now about the story of biringan and i thought biringan was just random word from my mind..
Hi! I'm from Northern Samar,this story in not new to me though it caught my attention because when I was a kid my grandfather used to tell a story about this people living in a hidden city. my lolo told me who was once a tambalan(an albularyo in waray dialect) that this city really exist. portals to this city is scattered in the island of samar not only in calbayog. I hope you find time to feature the story of "BUKID SAN ARAW"(mountain of the sun) similarly to Biringan this is a story of a hidden city believed to be situated in Northern Samar particularly in Palapag, Northern Samar. Folks believed that this place is inhabited by people with an Albino characteristics(that's why they call it)similarly the characteristics seen on the movie T2 of director Chito Rono.. thank you. Its my first time to browse a blog. the blog is great!
