Starting Big
It took me a month of writing, editing and recording the full episode of the The Best Wingman,— ensuring that it can fit into a 2-minute mark for the perfect teaser. After that, I gave myself a month to work out of the full episode, but that journey took me approximately five months. From writing the story, building the website, writing articles for the first three episodes and finally be able to research on Aswang and particularly the Manananggal. But the research phase took more in-depth than I have expected, I have more questions than answers. I wasn’t confident enough to give out the information that I already have and put it out to the world. The good news is, I now have more information regarding most of the Philippines mythical creatures and the hidden history of my native country. Even though the article of Manananggal is finished, I will keep updating it as soon as I verify additional information regarding our favorite (or despised) winged creature. If you want to find out more how I work on Stories from the Barrio and activities on building future episodes, you can support me thru my Patreon account. For now, enjoy the fourth episode and hope to hear from you guys soon!
