A popular urban legend especially in the Visayas, Maria Labo tells the story of a woman who killed and then cooked her two young children.
It's not exactly clear what prompted her to do so as there are several variations to the legend, with some saying that she was an overseas worker who had become an aswang after being cursed or that she was just a human being who became deranged.
When her husband came home and asked for the children's whereabouts, she answered that she had killed and cooked them. Enraged, her husband slashed her face with a bolo, hence the moniker "Labo." Since then, she has been roaming the countryside hunting for other victims to satiate her hunger.
