Manangalan is a legend of the Philipinnes of a vampire who eats foetuses of children. Now the symbol of that creature is also in American Apparel symbol of approval on clothes and products. But is also a symbol used by China. These uses are probably not as peaceful as we might think, but in fact connect these things with the evil creature Manangalan. China might have been killing babies to establish a leadership in world economy, and American Apparel is saying that they are also using the same strategy to make an economic empire. Is manangalan then a symbol of evil, but also wealth and prosperity for capitalism?^[163]
