See _Blair_ and _Robertson_, The Philippine Islands, Vol. V, p. 133; _Perez_ writing concerning Zambales says of their mediums, "He commences to shiver, his whole body trembling, and making many faces by means of his eyes; he generally talks, sometimes between his teeth, without any one understanding him. Sometimes he contents himself with wry faces which he makes with his eyes and the trembling of all his body. After a few moments he strikes himself on the knee, and says he is the _anito_ to whom the sacrifice is being made." See _Blair_ and _Robertson_, _op. cit.,_Vol. XLVII, p. 301.
