Episode 6: The Tobacco of Harisaboqued


This week on Cozy Kwento, we climb the smoky slopes of Mount Canlaon to meet Harisaboqued, the King of the Mountain, a spirit whose kindness kept the tobacco fields thriving until the people forgot their promise.


A Visayan legend from John Maurice Miller’s 1904 “Philippine Folklore Stories,” about greed, patience, and a volcano that still remembers.


For fans of Philippine folklore & cozy cautionary tales. #CozyKwento #PhilippineFolklore
