Maria Labo is a 2015 Philippine supernatural horror film directed by Roi Vinzon.
It is based on a Philippine urban legend about an Overseas Filipino Worker believed to be an aswang known as "Maria Labo", who is said to have eaten her own children.
Maria is a loving and dutiful wife to her husband Ermin, a police officer with whom she has two children named Pablo and Rosalinda.
The curse, by opening her mouth and letting an orange entity inside hop out from her stomach and into Maria's, would eventually turn her into an aswang.
In the Philippines, Maria is transferred to a hospital in her native Capiz, where doctors conclude that she has amnesia and take note of her aggressive behavior.
Ermin brings her back to their home, but a hospital employee discourages him due to their findings and says that his spouse might not even recognize him.
Roi Vinzon decided to come up with a film based on an urban legend of an Overseas Filipino Worker who is believed to have become an aswang who have killed and ate her own children.
Vinzon heard of the story while he was in Bacolod and became interested in making an adaptation of the tale into a film.
