The mystery of the missing panties in Sitio Quiling in Guimaras


Female residents of Sitio Quiling in Buenavista, Guimaras are baffled: Where did all their panties go?

For the past 18 years, they have been missing — or rather, losing — their panties to… they don’t know whom. They leave their undergarments alongside everything else to dry overnight but in the morning, it’s just their panties that go missing.

There’s Evelyn, who probably lost the most panties in their town, her 34-year-old daughter Emerlyn who says she started losing them back when she was still in high school, and their neighbor Glenda who says she lost more than two dozen panties. Marie (not her real name) once found her panty hanging from a banana tree one morning, when she left it in her clothesline the previous night.

While inspecting his crops in 2010, Mang Verly, a farmer living in Sitio Quiling, found four pieces of panties stuffed inside a bamboo tree in his farm.

He showed them to Emelyn, who confirmed one of the undergarments was hers. Everybody was perplexed.

They started exercising a few measures to make sure they don’t lose any more underwear — Glenda started to hang her clothes to dry inside the house, Emelyn put a live wire near the clothesline — but they’ve been largely unsuccessful.

Who could it be?

People in the provinces almost always turn to the supernatural to explain such mysteries. Mang Verly believes it could be a supernatural spirit; he once saw a couple of them – gray and tall – who disappeared when he came close.

Evelyn meanwhile found herself thinking of an old belief. Their elders used to tell them never to leave their underwear because mythical creatures would smell them and would cause infertility.

Anthropologists have said there are such things as a trickster, a spirit that likes to play on people and get their things, but these are merely folklore.

And if you look at science and medicine, Sitio Quiling’s mystery of the missing panties could be a severe case of Sexual Paraphilia.

Who could be taking all these panties and stuffing them into and/or burying them near a bamboo tree?

Panty robber strikes again!

Just a few weeks ago, Emelyn lost another pair. Determined to get to the bottom of things, she went back to the bamboo tree that Mang Verly showed her eight years ago, and lo and behold — she found more than 80 pairs of panties buried there.

That’s a lot of panties, but according to the ladies of Sitio Quiling, it’s not all they’ve lost.

It got everybody talking. There were those who started to mistrust Evelyn and Emerlyn, while others are bent on actual investigation – cops and all.

At the moment, the mystery of the missing panties is still unresolved. — LA, GMA News
