Kubot: The Aswang Chronicles 2 2014

After defeating the Tiktiks during the previous night in the town of Pulupandan, Makoy, with his wife Sonia, their newborn son Mackie, Sonia’s father Nestor and neighbor Pacing leave the place and past behind. However, they were ambushed by the new aswangs called Kubot, led by Veron. Veron kills Sonia and Pacing, takes Mackie, a newborn baby, and cuts Makoy’s hand. Makoy and Nestor managed to survive after the bus explosion.

Two years later, Makoy and Nestor work as mechanics in Manila and lives together with his older sister Nieves and her daughter. Makoy also sports a prosthetic arm built by Stacey and Benjie, a couple of engineering students.

Nieves works as a secretary for a physician, Lex, whom Nieves suspects of illegal medical practices. One night, she decides to eavesdrop on the doctor’s after-office work, and finds her torturing a patient. In reality, she is investigating incidents where people are turning into aswangs. Lex’s residence is attacked by aswangs during that night, resulting in the death of her family. Nieves and Lex escapes back to the former’s house.

While there, Lex reveals that tainted processed meat from Dom’s hotdogs are causing normal people to change into aswangs. They try to seek help from Makoy and Nestor, but they refuse after it is revealed that Lex is an aswang herself. Nieves and Lex then return to the latter’s house, where they are brought to the police station as part of the investigation regarding the murder of Lex’s family.

Meanwhile, the aswangs attack with the intention of getting Lex. Makoy and Nestor arrive to help. As additional police arrive, Makoy and Lex escape while Nestor and Nieves are arrested, although they are able to prove that it was an aswang attack due to the capture of Tope, a corrupt meat inspector who was turned into an aswang. Two of the policemen, Justiniani and Macapagal, torture Tope to get the location of the aswangs’ hideout in the city.

Makoy and Lex are later saved by Lex’s tribemates although Makoy is shot after being chased by gangsters. Lex treats his wound. Makoy is then asked by the tribe to leave, as an elder aswang, whom they asked for help in dealing with Dom, is scheduled to arrive. Makoy then comes face-to-face with Veron, the elder leader of the Kubot. After a tense standoff, Veron lets Makoy free and instead teams up with him against Dom.

Makoy later arrives back at Nieves’ house, and Nestor and Nieves tries to convince Makoy to help foil Dominic’s business. He still refuses to help due to his indifference to the aswangs’ feud. He later changes his mind after finding out that a free concert sponsored by Dom’s hotdog is scheduled that night. Makoy, Nestor and Nieves plan to prevent the delivery of the free but harmful hotdog. Makoy receives a new arm in preparation for battle.

Lex and Veron confront Dom regarding the missing council members. He admits to the murder, and captures the two. Justiniani and Macapagal arrive at Dom’s hotdog factory, along with Makoy, Nestor and Nieves, only to be captured by Dom and his minions. Justiniani and Macapagal are executed, but the rest of them are able to get free due to Makoy’s efforts. Nestor and Nieves are able to stop the meat shipment, while Lex and Veron wipeout Dom’s minions. Makoy faces Dom but the latter overpowers him. After the intense battle, Makoy manages to defeat Dom after remembering from Nieves that he is brave.

After the closure of Dom’s hotdog business, Veron returns the boy to Makoy’s car repair shop. As Nieves picks the boy up, Nestor finds a nametag on him that reads Mackie, revealing that Veron did not kill the boy but instead raised him.

Dom’s death is mourned by his relatives. His grieving mother is consoled by Dom’s wife, who promises that his death will be avenged and that she will take revenge on Makoy.
