Hello! My name is Mico Avila, I am a student of Mapua Malayan Colleges Mindanao, with a deep appreciation for Philippine pop culture. Growing up surrounded by Filipino media and trends, I’ve always been fascinated by the rich and diverse narratives that our local culture offers. My interests range from horror and thriller genres to traditional Filipino dishes, and I enjoy following the latest fashion and trends in Filipino pop culture. Recently, I’ve found a strong connection with graphic novels, especially those that explore Philippine folklore, like Trese. This interest reflects my love for stories that mix modern life with traditional myths.

Trese is a contemporary Philippine comic series created by Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo. It follows Alexandra Trese, a detective dealing with supernatural crimes that draw from Philippine folklore. I chose Trese because it has redefined modern Filipino horror, blending mythical creatures with present-day Manila. This comic stands out due to its cultural relevance and its success in bringing traditional folklore to new audiences worldwide, especially through its Netflix adaptation.

Trese has made a significant impact on Philippine media and identity by popularizing folklore in mainstream media. Using Semiotics, the series employs symbols like traditional Filipino mythical creatures, tikbalangs, aswangs, and duwendes, to reflect deeper meanings about society’s fear, history, and respect for the supernatural. These symbols evoke cultural pride, reminding audiences of the depth of Filipino mythology. The comic’s global reach, especially after Netflix’s adaptation, promotes Filipino culture and legends to a wider audience, encouraging cultural preservation.

Additionally, Trese shapes social behaviors by inspiring youth interest in Filipino folklore. It has sparked trends in fashion, with people cosplaying as Alexandra Trese, and encouraged younger generations to appreciate local stories. In terms of media, Trese has influenced other creators to incorporate cultural themes into their work, thereby supporting a revival of Philippine mythology in modern media.
