Introduction
There is a tough discussion on whether supernatural beings exist or not. Furthermore, it is difficult to consider the truth about these beings without solid evidences so we the researchers who are concerned of rich Filipino culture and traditional beliefs want to be enlightened about the existence of these supernatural creatures and explore the unexplained phenomena behind it.
Supernatural beings are incorporeal or unreal beings believed to have powers to affect the course of human events.To measure the people’s beliefs of supernatural beings, this study came up with the research question which states that “Do Filipinos still believe in supernatural beings? Amidst today’s evident social media innovations, do people continue to believe that supernatural beings still exist and do they still encounter those evil entities and perform practices against it?
