Aso (Pugad Baboy story arc)
Aso (Filipino for dog) is an adventure story arc of the Philippine comic strip series Pugad Baboy, created by Pol Medina Jr. and originally published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer. This particular story arc lasts 88 strips long. In 2003, the story arc was reprinted in Kinse!, the fifteenth book compilation of the comic strip series. Aso is one of the three longest Pugad Baboy story arcs, the other being Maidnappers and Green Heroine.
Synopsis
The story arc begins during a briefing at OCB Headquarters with agents Echo (Eliseo) and Delta (Polgas) and their superior in attendance. The topic of discussion is the prevalence of marijuana plantations in Benguet province. Polgas, however, is assigned a mission to Mount Arayat in Pampanga, where a suspected dope farm is located.
Polgas' initial investigation
Polgas hops unto his Thunderpuppy, a Harley Davidson V-Rod motorcycle, and heads for Mount Arayat. At the town of Bitas, he queries a local regarding climbing the mountain. The local replies that he shouldn't worry about the NPA or Maria Sinukuan, the diwata said to reside on the mountain, but that there was a werewolf lurking there. As Polgas continues promenading around the town, a huramentado (a person who has run amok) attempts to hack him with a bolo knife. Polgas throws the man using an Aikido move. Upon investigating the contents of his disarmed opponent's pockets, Polgas finds what appear to be dried wood of a bluish tint. He sniffs the suspicious cache and his sensitive nose is overwhelmed by what he smells; the unknown substance is actually dried psychedelic mushrooms. Polgas faints from an intense cluster headache. Upon waking up, he discovers that he is in Dr. Dado Galang's clinic. The doctor tells him that aside from the increasing number of cases of people running amok, the number of rabies cases is up as well. All these could be attributed to the reports of a werewolf or impaktong aso roaming the mountain fastness.
