Author’s Note
Disclaimer
The Tenant is based on a true story. The events portrayed are drawn from real-life experiences, later adapted into fiction to protect the privacy of those involved. Names, identities, and certain character details—especially of the protagonist and antagonist—have been changed. Some elements have also been expanded through general online research to support the narrative.
I do not personally practice, nor do I claim any connection to witchcraft, magic, kulam, or pambabarang. This story is shared for storytelling and entertainment purposes. Any resemblance to real individuals, practices, or practitioners is coincidental.
I hold deep respect for Filipino witches, healers, elders, and traditional knowledge. This work is not intended to offend, misrepresent, or diminish their beliefs or practices.
