One of the most Terrifying Philippine Urban legends was the Legend of Maria Labo; a poor young woman who took a job as a maid somewhere in the 1930's or 50's. Legend has it that she took a job offer from an old European man as a caretaker, where she was to accompany him into Europe, when she returned to the Philippines, she was somewhat strange and demonic-like and she got a scar across her face. One night, she killed her children and turned them into a stew.It was said that Maria had become an Aswang and fled before the authorities could break down her doors.
