UNDER THE INFLUENCE: Where we reveal the sources that inspired and influenced this Trese mystery.
The santelmo is another creature from Philippine folklore that has different descriptions, depending on which region of the country the story is told. Most stories have described it as flaming skull, seen on country crossroads. Fishermen have said that it is a ball of fire seen floating above the sea. The santelmo is said to be the souls of sailors who drowned at sea or an omen of bad things to come.
The oriol is a snake creature from Bikol folklore. It was believed to have lived in Tiwi, Albay. She lived in the hot springs in the area and lured men to join her in the pool by transforming herself into a beautiful woman. She would then devour them and bring their souls to her father Asuang.
The cellphone-spelling casting scene was an idea I got from one of Tony Perez’s books. He mentioned how the cellphone can act like a magic wand and how typing in a specific set of numbers and pressing the SEND button is like casting the spell.

YAY!!!
BATCH 72!!!!
This has been another feast, budj. thanks. You have a way of turning bizzare cases of love into a great fantasy- filled ride andend it with a squeeze of the reader's heart. Painfully good.
Also, Kajo's art has becoming more and more complex, growing in each issue.
I enjoyed reading this :heart:
naaaliw ako dun sa kambal. hope there'll be more insights about them in the next issues. btw, may official friendster na ba si trese?Ü
hey HEYJAY!
Wow! Another KAMBAL fan. Join the club.
Yup, definitely planning something interesting with the twins.
And to answer your question, nope, wala pang official TRESE Friendster account. hehehe
Maybe we get around to doing that during the long weekend.
Thanks!

Hey budj!
Something's bugging me...
How does the supernatural justice system work?
In trese 1, the aswangs were killed, and the girl died.
In trese 2, the tikbalang i presume was given back to the tribe for punishment
In 3, he just got away...
Anyway, my point is, how bout judges, an engkanto trial court sytem or whatever? It's evident there are laws in your story but how are these enforced? And assuming the different tribes/beings give out their own punishments, is there an all encompassing justice system that governs all the engkantos/supernatural beings?
Pasenysa na ha. Bagal mo kasing mag-release ng issue e. :P
Ganda ng Trese 4! Galing!
Ang galing Budje...
4 issues... pwede nyo nang compile yan. :D
wow, si kupkeyk!! ...and friends! haha
sorry, random fan here :)
Hi Sabs!
Yup, I just couldn't resist but put Kupcake and the band in that scene.
So, when did you ever get to read Batch72? :)
You must've been only 12 when we first launched that. hehehe

Hi there,
All TRESE stories are only 20-pages long. :)
Does #4 feel like a cliffhanger ending?
We didn't mean for it to feel that way.

Glad you like what you've read so far. And so far, TRESE #6 is the latest episode. #7 should be done by February. Don't know if we'll upload the whole #7, but we'll definitely make it available in the comic book stores listed above.
I'm not really sure if Kajo has a Deviantart page, but you can check out his art at: http://kajobaldisimo.blogspot.com/
Please do send me a link to your TRESE/KAMBAL pin-up when you're done and maybe we can include it at:
http://exhibit13.blogspot.com/
Thank you very much!!! :)

When was the great binondo fire? I'm such a history freak I googled it after reading the story, but I can't find anything about it. Agh! I can't sleep until I know when it happened. Or was it not a real thing? T.T
hi there Ms CAPTIVE :)
we should to be a set of books called FILIPINO HERITAGE, which was like an encyclopedia about the Philippine history and culture.
that's where I read about the Great Binondo Fire, which happened in the 1950s (sorry, can't remember the exact date)
when we moved house, we had to given away that set of books (which I now regret)
your school library might have copies of those books. so, time to go offline and do some research in realspace :)
have fun!
Sir,
thank you po. makakatulog na ako. XD
I'll hit the books as soon as our classes resume. Good job po sa Trese series! Ginawan po 'to ng research paper ng isang classmate ko sa Comparative Research class namin. Something about Pop Culture and Folklore. He got a 1.0, I think. Pft. Too bad I didn't discover your books before he did.
I'm looking for your third book now. Just bought my own copy of books 1 and 2 last night. hehe.
Yay, gagawa pa lang ako ng review para sa Mass Murders, meron na kaagad ne'to!
Di ko to palalagpasin!
Cant help to not leave a comment.Trese its just awesome. Love the use of lore. I agree that it would be interesting to see some underworld justice system. Pero panalo talaga yung "Kambal". I do hope we get to know more about them in the future issues.
Hi Genova!
I think some of the answers that you seek can be found in TRESE:MASS MURDERS :-)
