Part 3/6:
Once the mystery was unraveled, it turned out that this was no superstition or ritual, but rather an ingenious and practical solution implemented by a Filipino family. The family had previously lost ten chickens during a storm and was determined to prevent further casualties. Their answer: safeguarding their poultry by placing the chickens inside plastic bags and hanging them from the ceiling of their outdoor shed.
This clever hack is designed to shield the chickens from strong winds and flying debris during typhoons, which are common in the Philippines. By suspending their birds safely out of reach of the storm's fury, they dramatically reduce the risk of injury or death — a simple yet effective adaptation to their environment.
