Cebu IT Park: Darker than its nightlife

It was 2007 when I came back in Cebu after 17 years living in GenSan. I can say the feeling was nostalgic and exciting especially when I visited the places where we usually go and play. It was still there but not as what was before, everything had already changed.

Felling lucky that I was employed and relocated by PeopleSupport which is situated in Asiatown IT Park, Lahug, Cebu City. New environment, new people and new company yet it would also be a new kind experience for me to see the unknown.

IT Park then was just really a vast area with few buildings namely I1 & I2, Globe, Skyrise1 and eOffice 1 unlike today.

e-Office One

This was my first office for our financial account. You'll never notice until you've seen them.

The Sleeping Room - most employees share their scary experiences inside the sleeping room. Some say they had nightmares-- "bangungot" in Tagalog or "urom" in Cebuano. That someone was trying choke them to death.

A colleague of mine that time whom his third eye was widely open said that he saw a lady covered in blood that is staying inside the sleeping lounge and is really at rage.

One day, we were having small talks about the said lady in the sleeping room thinking that she can't go outside. We were making fun of how really the lady look like, if she is wearing an underwear or is she pretty even she was covered in blood. Our Team Leader that time was also playing a loud music from her cellphone then my colleague with the third eye became silent and asked us to stop from making fun of the lady cause he saw that it was out of the sleeping room and was mad. We were all silent, he said if I can turn off my computer monitor and see the reflection of the screen if I can see the ghost which I can't.

He said that the lady was right beside our team leader and hit her which eventually our team leader complained that she felt a sudden pain at her back. The lady came to my colleague and his nose started to bleed. From then on, we were making fun with the lady full of blood and our colleague that has the widely opened third eye resigned.

2. The Doppelganger of Bay One - as PeopleSupport was in its last day since Aegis acquired the company on 2008, the office was almost empty for our account was ready to be transferred to SkyRise 1. Most of us from the email team was busy processing emails and also a little chitchat. Two of my colleagues were on a 15-minute break and agreed to go to the wash room to pee. They thought that they were together in going to the wash room and talking to each other, but when the other one went out first, she was surprise to see that the other one was running towards her and said that she just came from the lobby to check her cellphone and was sorry that she came in first. She was asking as to whom she was with while inside the comfort room. We all end up through a prayer.
                                                                                                                                        SkyRise One
                                                                                                                                                                 
I thought that I already closed my third-eye but I was wrong, it was still the start of a new beginning.

1. Wide Shadow & company - another chitchat during a graveyard shift. We were talking about the creepy experiences we had just to keep us awake for the whole shift. While talking I saw a burnt girl beside my friend then suddenly a wide shadow covered us which is really visible while we are on our work stations.

2. The Little Boy - so far this is my favorite ghost. A playful little boy that is wearing a checkered polo and pair of shorts. I only saw him once when I place the beach ball on the table and was hesitant to get it, but for some people in the building, they usually see him inside the elevator.

3. New Year Sightings - It was January 1, 2010 and the year just started with a bang. Instead of sleeping after the celebration, I was on duty. Only our team were on duty that time for a graveyard shift. Busy as it is that we had a lot of emails to work on, me and my colleague was seated adjacent to door. While busy typing and sending emails, I seem to be distracted with someone who keeps on passing by the door. 

A small black shadow then a taller black shadow seem to pass every now and then. I noticed my colleague that keeps on turning her head to the door and I asked her, what do you see?, then she said someone just passed by. I said, don't mind that maybe it was just the utility people outside. After which, both of us were already distracted every time "they" pass by. Then my colleague said, "I saw two shadows and its creepy" and was starting to cry. I went out and asked "them" to stop on what they're doing. Eventually, they stopped!


4. Nightmares and apparitions - our operations floor don't have any sleeping rooms and we go to a specific place in the office that we normally called "the morgue" because its dark and perfect for our quick hibernation. Most people were complaining about a white lady that strangling them when they sleep. What I did was to challenge the said white lady in "the morgue" and face me and the unexpected happened. I slept in a damaged chair then suddenly I saw this lady sitting in front of me wearing a white-torn bridal gown, face was covered with her hair and seem laughing at me. Due to fear, I tried to wake but my body is not responding. I'm looking at my hands and feet and commanding it to move but had no response and all I can see is this white lady laughing with just her hair front. I was struggling and then I prayed the Lord's Prayer and she was gone. I know it was not a dream but was a real encounter.

I told my colleagues about it and some really don't believe it but eventually believed it when they already experienced it. Almost everyone from the team had the same experience and encounters which we could say she was real.

AEGIS Tower One

As the new building was full operational by 2011 most of us were high-spirited and hoped for the best of the company yet it seem to follow us..
