Oddly True

Most birds swallow their prey. This one stores it like a weapon.

The Philippine Shrike is known as the “butcher bird.”
It impales insects, lizards, and small prey on thorns to eat later.

Not cruelty.
Strategy.

Nature doesn’t play nice.

Before grills…
before dentists…

Pre-colonial Filipinos were already embedding real gold into their teeth.

Not for health.
Not for fashion.

But for status, strength, and bravery.

The Bolinao Skull proves it.

Ancient Philippines was never “primitive.” It was powerful.
