The Legend of Biringan City
UPDATE: We have a commenter nicknamed Toanaks claiming to come from Biringan city or what they call, “Mahaniha” (googled it and came up with Arabic texts). Toanaks provides more insight what their city is all about, as well as their culture. It is up to the reader to decide, but Toanaks gave us a good message: Gaea is at her weakest, we must preserve our mother earth. Check out Toanaks’ comments below.
At the onset of our Samar travel together with Epic Potato and Wandering Dylan, our main aim was to get to the mysterious Biringan City.
We scoured the web for any information about this place, but we got a few information and mostly were hearsay.
Some people in Samar haven’t heard of Biringan city. We noticed that it’s the middle-aged or the elderly who knows about the place and warn us not to go there.
Here’s why.
The katiguwangans (elderly) near the place say that Biringan city is inhabited with people of the early times. Specifically, the first people. They have long been dead, but for some reason, they are still present in this place. They are responsible for disappearances and other unexplained phenomena that surround this island.
Some Stories Told To Us
Sometimes, at night, they would see the entire island lit up, as if it was an advanced city, thus its moniker Biringan city.
A doctor from Gandara went to the place and told his companions that he noticed a huge castle on the island. However, his friends didn’t see it. On the way home, the doctor just turned pale and died for no apparent reason.
People have disappeared from that place on excursions without a trace. They have been searched on this tiny island, but no bodies were found. Nobody lives here as everybody is afraid; if somebody does, old people would warn and prevent that person to do so.
A car company had a shipment of a thousand cars and arrived in Samar. They were looking for Biringan city as it was in the manifesto, but nobody knew where it is. The katiguwangans then directed the delivery man to an island off Pagsanghan, where they believe is where the fictitious city exists. Nobody knew what happened to the cars next.
Their Warnings
A person who doesn’t have a philtrum (the medial cleft between your upper lip and nose) is said to be a resident of Biringan city. If you meet such person either in Gandara, Pagsanghan, or on the way to the island, never go with him or her. You would disappear without a trace.
The place is just full of mangroves and vegetation. If you see something grandiose like a castle, never acknowledge that you’ve seen it. Don’t say anything to anybody otherwise the Biringan residents will get you and you will die.
Fate had it that we don’t die just yet. It was five in the afternoon when we arrived in Gandara from caving in Matuguinao and there were no more pumpboats we can hire to get there.
It was a disappointment so we just contented ourselves with the stories they told us.

@toanaks if picturan ka dili rapud ma overexposed?
@toanaks curios lang ko, kanang barko ni ma.cacao same dimension/universe ra mo ana?
Toanaks, i don’t mean to disrespect you but prove me wrong to unbelieving extra terrestrial life as you were claiming, in behalf to those young and innocent mind. If you have these abilities not claiming as powers then show it to me, communicate with me in good ways then if you refuse, it would mean or should i say that everything here is a nonsense hoax and only the author of the blog and the site manipulates everything to promote his/her sites. Im sorry to the author itself…
ola born_to_be wild! no need to be sorry, naka benefit jud ko’g dako aning controversy ni toanaks. ako lang ideny nga dili na ako, wala koi hibangkaagan bahin sa biringan city hehehehe… di lang nako basagon iyang trip, tinuod man or dili kay you know na, naka benefit jud ko’g maayo ani, controversy = promotion = high traffic. hahahaha…
@Toanaks, can you help me change this nation?
Hi @Toanaks! do you have such powers to control different elements like water, fire, earth, electricity, etc. and are you considered as one of those “engkantos” or elemntals? Thanks! I’m hoping to go there, seriously. so awesome!!
@Toanaks, pre, nacurious lang ako, nagaaral din ba kayo tulad namin? nakakabasa ba kayo ng isip? tsaka tulad ba naming mga tao nandito na din kayo sa mundo noon pa? tsaka nakakapang gayuma ba kayo? meron ba kayong iisang namumuno tulad ng presidente namin o malaya lang kayong nabubuhay?, salamat pre, nahihiwagaan talaga ko sa mundo nyo, hahaha, tingin ko mas astig dyan kesa dito
I find it weird. Lately, I accidentally read several issues on what’s humanity will be in future. Reading articles and watching documentaries from different beliefs, religion, world; I noticed that they all say similar thing… it is the destruction of Nature. reading this in my faith http://www.thewarningsecondcoming.com/home/ it says there will be a world war 3 and will start in Germany in which testified by late Blessed Pope John Paul II who went in Germany and opened to small group the revelation of Our Lady of Fatima. When there is war there will be famine. Same with the prophecy of Nostradamus (watch Nostradamus 2012). Said there that there will be war, famine, and destruction of Nature. And now Toanaks statements jives with the prophecies. Toanaks said it right we should start praying instead if getting afraid and scared. Repent, for when the time comes we have no escape. May we start to love and obey God. Thus we must also try to get connected with our nature, we are now experiencing climate change. Remember time is running.
@Toanaks Is it true that this coming December 21 2012 there will be a big change sa planet natin. Sabi raw na the Earth is a living on because it has its own frequency and it is changing kasi meron nangyayari daw.. They call this daw na the start of Age of Aquarius.. And they said that in this age.. Lahat ng katotohanan ay lalabas, tapos ma connected na daw sa tayo sa lahat lhat.. Tapos may connection ba ito sa 11:11? Kasi marami na daw na mga tao strangely na tritrigger yung senses nila dito..
Lastly.. Diba you are connecting with the nature.. Yung Love ba yung form niyo for raising your vibration?
ehem.. na curios ko slight dah. they said the city is somewhere between Calbayog and Catarman,. I’d been to Calbayog several times, why I hadn’t heard about this before, I could have gone my way north of Calbayog and probably experience this so called city. My ex is working in Calbayog, I could have left him there when he cheated on me.. lols…
@Toanaks Totoo ba that this Dec 21 2012 darating yung Age of Aquarius kung saan lahat tayo ay magkakaroon ng kakayahan to be as one?? This age daw sabi na lahat ng katotohanan ay lalabas na dahil magiging isa tayo..
And sabi sa research ko na yung Earth daw ay isa a living thing.. It has its own frequency and it is changing already..
Totoo rin ba sa Love, form ba yan sa pag raise ng Vibration or frequency?
@toanaks, are you free to tell your life in Biringan and how do you know some of our mortals like Rizal and the Wright brothers?
Hello Toanaks,
I find your culture interesting. It’s good to know that there are others out there. I hope one day I get the chance to visit your world.
TOANAKS – “Hours in our place could mean days in your time”, ” the air around us and the sun as called in your world”.
therefore, if we share the same sun, every hour in your place would’ve a day and a night.. you need to be in bed every 30 minutes.. (just wondering)

Maybe Toanaks is on Vacation..:D
Nice.. I wonder if TOANAKS will come back again? He probably went back to his ‘place’..
Remember: A minute there can mean months passing here..
Wish ko lang, if all of what he’s saying is true, maganda siguro yung specifics, he can get very specific with camera functions though..
Specific in a way–na hindi vague ang mga statements–like; everyone aspires world peace–pero syempre there are certain steps to achieve that–so in that sense, If he is really who he is–then by saying what he said–he really knows the how and why as well..
Besides, it makes for a more compelling post if he’d make detailed explanations and directions of how things CAN be done–without exposing the nuts and bolts of where he came from..
Siguro if he’ll ever read or decide to post again here; I’d like to ask him these:
1. In what immediate specific ways can we effectively ‘repair’ the environment–(alam ko obviously–stop polluting etc)–pero which one would immediately benefit us ‘all’–that can be beneficial to both our ‘realms’ in the shortest amount of time in between..
2. Why exist in THAT specific area? Is Biringan City–been here for ages? or is it just one of many? was it built or is it just a ‘port’ city of sorts?
3. Are you of this planet? (I believe the elders call them the ‘first people’–the ones before us)–therefore we co-exist but to whom does the world belong to? Who are we to them? and who are they to this world?
4. A short history on how they came to be, their story on living in our country and in history, their goals in life..
5. Whatever happened to the shipments of cars/cement/heavy machinery/rice/appliances–did they actually order them? and why did they order them?
6. How advance is their technology (without revealing how they work)–give an example of things (electronics, broadband, computers, aircraft, cars, etc..) they have, that we don’t have here..
7. Can they travel beyond the area they live in? space? other countries? other areas in the philippines? been to metro manila?
8. How large is Biringan City–really.. Is it the same as the area–or is it actually bigger in your reality? Does it go underground? How high and large is the highest building? Can you at least sketch or describe your city (like a city map of some sort or just a layout of your world)–and if you’re really up for it–coordinates?
9. Things they do in Biringan City (normal day to day life of a Biringan ‘citizen’)–what do their houses/rooms actually look like? do you have offices? work? what attire do you wear over there?..
10. What do they like most about being in our ‘reality’, beyond the tedium that is in his world–what’s his favorite food here? tv show? websites?
Optional: 11. I know, you cannot divulge a lot, and you’re not out to change anyone’s mind or belief–but you did post here, and therefore cared what we think about your city and people–and you probably do care about us humans–at least as neighbors–then if what you say is dire, and your wish is for some common change between our realms, can you put forth something that will definitely erase any shadow of a doubt–that what you’re claiming is really true–that you’re not human and not of this world? (well, if you can though–no pressure–we can talk about the possibilities of how then–if you’re up to it)..
Well, that’s about it for now..
Hope you come back again in the near future..
This has been a really interesting read..

Some observations/theories on what BIRINGAN CITY is (If true):
1. It’s the last city of it’s kind–and their kind..
2. They probably lived here for ages–but the world (at least our reality) is of our dominion–and theirs–theirs..
3. I think it’s an outpost/port city before–but transformed into just a city for living (cause of the co-mingling of our kinds)..
4. I also think it’s larger than it really is in size compared to where it’s situated, and it’s ‘physically’ there..
5. I believe for some reason their life regressed into just existence now–as oppose to having a particular ‘administrative’ or ‘observatory’ function in the old days..
6. They do need of our technology and supplies, so they may have advance ‘cloaking’ technologies and such–but their city probably is mostly conventional compared to our own..
7. I think–it’s because of us–to why they are ‘city-like’ now–due to co-existence and inter-species ‘propagation’..
8. They have tons of money or capability to replicate money or materials of value–but still need our conventional machinery and supplies to build unto their realm..
9. Stories of abductions, deaths, and unsavory encounters with their kind–is just that–we have our bad apples–they also have theirs..
10. Some of them prefer to co-mingle/live into our plane (maybe because most of them are now half-humans)..
11. They apparently have the ability to shift the position of their city–or maybe it’s just an optical effect of the ‘cloaking’ process or their city is really that high up or larger than it appears..
12. They can be compared to the ‘elves’ in the lord of the rings series or the original people from ‘atlantis’ or just plainly ‘stranded’ here on our planet..
13. They maybe hybrid-aliens on their cloaked ‘mothership’..
14. They maybe guarding a large cache of something valuable to them or to us–hence the co-location..
15. They live among us.. Some of us are them..
16. They are shape-shifters or appearance-cloaking..
17. They are mortal–but can use hyper-dynamics to control their environment to benefit them..
18. They use fixed portal locations to enter/exit their realm–apparently they can’t ‘beam’ themselves to their realm or make use of any of their machinery or technologies while in our reality..
19. They commit identity theft–assume the dead or missing’s identity..
20. and apparently they go online too..
sounds like a Fringe story… hehehe..
Hi Toanaks! I wish I can meet you in my dreams… I’ve been very interested in these kinds of stories. Whether they are proven or not. Like time travelers, some claim they’re able to do it but with no proofs. Same with your stories about “the other dimension” as we termed it or your homeland as I may say, a lot of people have seen some unusual things about your homeland but they don’t have any proofs. I want to see a glimpse of your homeland. I strongly believe that we are not the only humans living in this world. our world might be full of imperfections because of us but I still believe there is hope. Any maybe you can help us make our world better. I hope you can still read my message… See you in my dreams and don’t forget to wake me up. Im afraid of nightmares, I want happy dreams..
Hello Toanaks. I practically grew up in Catbalogan Samar and I’ve been hearing the existence of your world since childhood. You see, my lola is from Pagsanghan Samar and she used to tell us enchanting and a bit scary stories from your world. So whenever we go to Pagsanghan during fiestas, I can’t help but feel mystefied in a good way. I there any way like, I have seen or talked to one of your likes before? The thought makes me really excited
I really want to write a book and if you don’t mind, I’ll include some of your(your people’s, that is) ways as one of the inspirations for my novel. I’m afraid it is too late for me to get a reply from you. But if you are still there, please do contact me here.Say something please. I’ll be waiting
I wonder where he’s gone now. I do hope he gets back online soon.
