Malapit nang mag-November 1, kaya’t usong-uso na naman ang iba’t-ibang haunting humors at legendary stories na only in the Philippines lang . Naalala ko tuloy ang kwento sa akin ng isa kong kaibigan tungkol sa biyahe ng jeep sa UP diliman. Kung taga UP ka,siguro alam mo ang kwentong ito.
The tale: The terrifying story of the iconic IKOT jeepney trip
A girl boarded a jeepney late at night, bound for one of the campus dorms. The driver said nothing when she told him her stop, but only met her eyes once in the rearview mirror. They trundled through the dark and silent campus, but the route he took was not one she could recognize. Afraid for her safety, she was wary throughout the ride, until the jeepney made a turn, and she found herself just across the street from her dormitory. Mildly shaken, she hurried to leave the jeep, but the driver stopped her, telling her that as soon as she got home, she should take off her clothes and burn them. He explained that he took a detour to ward off the evil spirit that must have been following her. “Pagtingin ko kasi kanina sa salamin,” he said, “wala kang ulo.
In the UP campus, may mga kanya-kanyang kulay ang mga jeep base sa kanilang mga biyahe : yellow roofs for the Ikot and Toki, red roofs for the Katipunan, blue roofs for those bound for SM North, and green roofs for those bound for Philcoa and Pantranco. If you find yourself in UP at a late hour and see a jeepney approaching, make sure it's one of those colors. Otherwise, walk away. Very quickly. And don't turn back. Dahil isa sa dalawang bagay lang ang pwedeng mong kasadlakan... dalhin ka niya sa biyahe ng kawalan na di malilimutan o maglakad ka pauwi ng tahanan dahil nahuli ng pulis ang colorum mong sinakyan...:)
