A Frightening Look Inside "The Store". Content Warning.
There are many horror writers that have tingled the spines of so many readers. The biggest name among them, is Stephen King, and justifiably so.

"Filipino Resiliency": An Overused Ornament in the Struggles of Filipinos
People have the ability to quickly recover from disasters and handle problems better than those in the middle and lower parts of society. Because the government is not helping to ease their hardships, the middle and lower classes turn to a positive way of thinking. This “resiliency” becomes a temporary fix that covers up bigger problems. It’s their only choice in their tough situation.
