In the Philippines a Colorum uprising leads to multiple deaths amid intense religious superstition. Reported as credulity and fear, a group claims the world is tipping, while followers produce hemp believed to be used by a leader to stabilize a supposed globe.
The article recounts the Colorums led by Lantayag in Surigao, their doomsday prophecies, the Great Tank deception, hemp and water schemes, and Captain Juan’s futile crackdown, with Dr Jose Rizal guiding amulets and military plans as sect battle looms and several perish.
