* SealedEvilInACan: The largest vessel, however, contains the evil ''aswangs''. It functions sort of like a Philippine Pandora's Box; it's box-shaped, with a curiously shaped lid with a sculpture depicting two figures in a boat—the "ferryman of death and his passenger" motif, like in the RealLife Manunggul Jar. It induces enough psychological havoc and {{Greed}} that the mall-owner [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Mr Quantos]] is DrivenToSuicide over it and the El Diablo gang pursue Lam-ang over it, accidentally ''releasing the ''aswangs'''' when they shoot at it. It's their release that sparks most of the conflict of the story.
