お次に紹介するのは「出かける前に皿が割れたら、もう一枚割る」というおまじない。これは「壊れた物が１つだと寂しがって、道連れを求めて事故を起こすかもしれないから」だそうです。
なるほど、孤独を何よりも嫌うフィリピンの人たちらしい感覚ですね。物に心を見出すのは日本でも「針供養」とか「付喪神」とかの信仰があるのでシンパシーを感じます。皿を割るのはもったいない…という時は空き瓶を割っておまじない完了とみなす場合もあります。道連れは誰でもいいのか？と突っ込みたくもなりますが、そのあたりの鷹揚さもフィリピンらしいですね。
そしてお次はより実践的なもので「ウニを踏んだら古タイヤを焼いてその煙で足の裏をあぶれ」というもの。おまじないというより、民間医療の類ですね。これは実際にものすごく効きます。放っておくと2～3時間は痛いのに、これをやると5分くらいで痛みがひきます。
Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
