Elderly woman in Pangasinan accused of being a ‘witch,’ suspect shoots at her house

As much as we’d like to think that our country has already been modernized, there are still some spots where superstition rules and may even be deadly.

A 68-year-old woman in Malasiqui, Pangasinan was recently injured when a still-unidentified suspect shot at her house.

Luckily, as indicated in an ABS-CBN News report, the woman only sustained minor wounds on her feet and shoulder.

Initial investigation revealed that the woman has been accused of being a mangkukulam (witch). Police think one of her accusers may be responsible for the shooting.

The woman shrugged off the allegations of being a witch, saying all she did was do laundry and watch over her grandkids.
