At least 35 High School students in Initao town, Misamis Oriental were reportedly possessed by spirits.

The students, who exhibited unusual behavior while some were shouting and crying, were brought to a church.

School principal Reynaldo Cabilan said they asked for help from church workers to pacify the students.

This was the second time the incident occurred because last Friday, 35 students exhibited the same behavior.

Joan Longgakit, a teacher and a parent of one of the students, said she believes the doctor that they consulted that the incident may be related to stress disorder.

Nevertheless, she asked a priest to bless her child, whose condition improved thereafter. The condition of several students improved and were sent home to rest. — BAP, GMA News
