What is this mythical Urban Legend creature that rumor spread along the Philippines most especially in Visayas.
A brief description from wikepedia
The Sigbin or Sigben is a creature in Philippine mythology said to come out at night to suck the blood of victims from their shadows. It is said to walk backwards with its head lowered between its hind legs, and to have the ability to become invisible to other creatures, especially humans. It resembles a hornless goat, but has very large ears which it can clap like a pair of hands and a long, flexible tail that can be used as a whip.Sigbin is said to emit a nauseating odor.
It is believed to issue forth from its lair during Holy Week, looking for children that it will kill for their hearts, which it fashions into amulets.
According to the legend, there are families known as Sigbinan ("those who own Sigbin") whose members possess the power to command these creatures, and are said to keep the Sigbin in jars made of clay. The Aswang are said to keep them as pets, along with another mythical creature, a bird known as the Wak Wak.
There is speculation that the legend may be based on sightings of an actual animal species that is rarely seen; based on the description of the Sigbin in popular literature, the animal species might be related to the kangaroo. With the recent discovery in the island of Borneo of the cat-fox. a potential new species of carnivore described as having hind legs that are longer than its front legs, it has been postulated that reported sightings of Sigbin may actually be sightings of a member or relative of the cat-fox species.
The myth is popularly known in Visayas Islands and Mindanao. It is also said that it looks like a dog and owned by rich people who hid those creatures in a jar.
Though Sigbins only stand at about 3 tall when fully grown and appear to be perfectly harmless at first glance, they are one of the most teared and hated creatures in all of the Philippines and regarded as demons. They are distinguishable by their over large ears,ip-like-tail, disproportionately long legs and their eerie backward walk.
They draw most of their nutrition form the blood of humans, acquired either by making clapping hands with their large ears to lure curios prey into it's territory or by sneaking up on them in dark or shadowed areas, both in the forest and in towns. Their bites can be fatal for their prey if there is a struggle, but it's not common for a Sigbin to have he intent to kill their prey. They also feed on charcoal and various types of vegetation according to my father who tell us about the characteristic of this demonic creature. Though they are quite stealthy and not easily detected by their movement, Sigbins are most commonly given away by the putrid, vomit-like smell that they emit. Native superstition suggests that Sigbins snatch up children
du Holy Week and harvest hearts to craft amulets, but there is no document proof of this.

Moreover, This urban legend existed before and spread within Visayas area. When my father was still alive he always gather us at night telling this story about "Sigbin" for us not to go outside when almost dark.
There's a lot of mythical urban legend like this sigbin, tikbalang, tiyanak, tayho, sindak-bulala-lakaw, hubot, wak-wak, mncho. These proves how rich is Philippine in terms of Urban Legend stories.
