PODERICO POWERBOMB! Glossary (1)

                                                                    

What you'll find here, though we're calling it a glossary, can actually be looked at as a primer as well.

For anyone who's read (or is about to read) PODERICO POWERBOMB!, and who happens to be unfamiliar with Filipino myth and folklore or things like Filipino place names, then we've got you covered here.

Our intent is to present an updateable glossary/primer, in that new terms and entries will be added as new episodes are released, and these updates will hopefully be of service to those who may be encountering these terms for the first time.

To wit:
