Dear Noy Kulas,
I am using the alias Arnel, 28 years old, single and employed. I have a girlfriend who is 25 years old. We work together and have been in a relationship for over a year. To be honest, I never expected she would say yes to me because when it comes to looks, height, and complexion, she is almost perfect—like a model or a beauty pageant candidate. She is slightly taller than me. Even though we have been together for over a year, I have never been to their place, but she comes to our house almost every week because I bring her. I am very proud of her because even my family says I hit the jackpot. Aside from her beauty, she is also very kind. She is soft-spoken and very understanding. We have never had a fight. She says that is what her parents taught her. The only thing I notice is that she does not go to church much when I invite her, since I am Catholic. I want us to always go to church together, but she says she was not raised religious. When she does attend Mass, she does not receive Communion because she is not used to it. I just let her be because I noticed she reacts differently whenever church is mentioned. There was a time I introduced her to my high school classmate who is from her hometown. My classmate messaged me saying that my girlfriend's lineage is rumored to be witches. Now I am confused whether the accusation is true or not. What advice can you give me, Noy Kulas?

Nel,
What kind of witch? The one who uses barang, or witchcraft? The witch whose body separates—I do not believe in that. Witchcraft, based on my inquiries, does exist. I asked an exorcist priest about this, and he said witchcraft is real because he has encountered several cases.
My advice to you: dig deeper into her background. Maybe she is not the one, but her lineage is involved. To observe more, go to their place. See the relationship between her and her family. If they are Catholic but not practicing, none of them receive Communion or go to confession, that is one sign. If they have objects in the house, like amulets or the like, perhaps someone in their family practices witchcraft. It is up to you to decide whether to leave her or not.
