Special Containment Procedures:

  1. Curfews in the towns of [DATA EXPUNGED] are imposed in order to keep the local population of the municipality of ██████, ███████ safe. These curfews are from 19:00 to 7:00 of the next day. The Philippine Government and the SCP Foundation covers up these curfews as OPLAN LIGTAS-BAYAN, an operation to keep the nearby municipalities safe from rebels and crime. As of March 11, 2020, due to an ongoing global pandemic, curfews noted above will be used with the excuse of an “Enhanced Community Quarantine” in the region.
  2. The Philippine Government, in cooperation with the SCP Foundation, has doctored all radios in the ████████ region in the Philippines with automatic receivers that will automatically block SCP-5730-2 (FM 87.1) from showing up on national radios. Under no circumstances shall 5730-1 be listened to outside authorized testing areas.
  3. At least five Foundation Agents of obvious Filipino descent, and fluent in either Tagbanwa or Tagalog must be present at all times. If SCP-5730-3 attempts escape, agents fluent in Tagbanwa must calmly apprehend 5730-3 so as to not agitate it.
  4. About 1500 soldiers are on standby across the area. 15 folk priests from nearby villages, and 12 exorcists from Catholic Dioceses in the provinces of ███████, ████████, ███████ ██████████, and ██████ are also on call.
  5. In the occasion that multiple 5730-related deaths occur in the area within the next 24 hours, soldiers and the local shamans must be sent to 5730 to neutralize 5730-3 and 4. Nearby ██████ █████████ Airport will send out a bomber to drop a single shell on 5730 while artillery will be fired at the area.
  6. If a GD-Class Gestalt Dissolution Scenario is to occur, █████████ in ███████, and the National Museum of Anthrophology in Manila must be closed to the public for 14 days and 14 hours. The Department of Tourism and the National Museum of the Philippines will make announcements regarding closures within the first two hours of the scenario, and state that the museum was closed for maintenance.

Description: SCP-5730 is a tall hill in ███████, Philippines. Also known as [REDACTED], it is approximately 105 meters tall. SCP 5730 is covered with tall grass and palm trees. SCP-5730 is not anomalous on its own. SCP-5730 has a radio mast (SCP 5730-1) that appears to have no ownership by any national media company or radio station. The Foundation has found the frequency of the radio mast to be at 87.1 on the FM Band. Noises emitted by this frequency include high pitched tones and vocalization of horses. Listeners would become immediately distressed, would feel fear, and would try to tune to a different frequency. Prolonged exposure to the frequency (~120 seconds) would result in the listener beginning to attempt destroying the radio. The listener would appear to start sobbing. Any exposure longer than that (~180 seconds or longer) would result in the listener going into a catatonic state for a few hours. Listeners who are exposed for more than 180 seconds and get out of catatonia would become visibly traumatized. Some listeners would attempt suicide. It is still unknown whether said feelings are a natural reaction or abnormal.

SCP-5730-2

SCP-5730 has a small building (SCP-5730-2), approximately 5 meters tall, and similar in structure to a traditional Filipino “bahay kubo” hut. SCP 5730-2 should not be entered, as any contact with the building can result in being transported to a parallel dimension. All attempts to enter the hut have failed, and contact with remote-controlled vehicles that enter the hut result in the battery dying after ten minutes, thus, contact with 4528-2 is prohibited. Upon survey, it appears that the building has roots seeping into the ground similar in structure to the rhizophora species of mangrove. However, the hill is far from any mangrove swamps. SCP 5730-2, upon being struck by a bolo or a knife, releases a red, corrosive substance. Upon closer inspection, the substance appears to be human blood belonging to a man of 45-55 years of age, type O-.

By nightfall (around 19:00 PM), a creature known in Philippine mythology as a tikbalang, roams around the area at night. This is SCP 4528-3. 4528-3 is approximately 3.5 meters in height, is a biped with the head of an E. ferus caballus with somewhat brown and blonde hair, and the body of a regular human male, around 18-24 years of age. 5730-3 is not to be made contact with by females as females would be contacted intimately as if to be mated with then killed. Males who enter its vicinity would be instantly killed. 5730-3 roams around a 20 square kilometer (7.7 mile) area around the hill at night.

5730-3 has extreme regenerative abilities. When shot at, it would instantly heal. Shooting it in the head is also proven ineffective. However, bolo cuts show much greater damage to 5730-3. Trying to behead it may be a viable solution, but all expeditions to the hill are banned. At daytime, 5730-3 has the appearance of a young man around the age of 18-24. His identity is unknown, and all attempts to communicate with 5730-3 have failed either due to violence, or the fact that 5730-3 speaks an unknown language somewhat similar to Tagbanwa, a Filipino language spoken by the Tagbanwa peoples of ███████.

A second tikbalang can also be found on the hill. 5730-4 is also another man in his early twenties. It can become invisible at will. 5730-4 is also telepathic and can speak the language of those in its vicinity, however it primary communicates in the Tagalog language. It has the same strength and power as 5730-3, but it is mostly harmless and docile with the exception of it playing “tricks” on any sentient being within its area. 5730-4 has the power to become invisible. It is noted that SCP-5730-3 and SCP-5730-4 are both immune to the effects of SCP-5730-1 and SCP-5730-2. SCP-5730-4 also claims to own SCP-5730-1 but says it does not know how to operate it.

According to Philippine mythology, SCP-5730-3 and SCP-5730-4 can only be tamed by taking a thick spine from its thick mane. This thick spine can be used as a talisman that will keep SCP-5730-3 or SCP-5730-4 as a "servant" to the person who tames it. However, all attempts to tame 5730-3 and 5730-4 have resulted in death or injury in agents who are not of Filipino descent. However, agents of Filipino descent or fluent in the Tagalog language mostly leave with minor injuries.
Two folk priests were injured and a guard was killed. However, an interview with 5730-4 was successful.

+ Interview 5730-4-A

A wire mesh fence surrounds a 500 meter (546.8 yard) area of SCP 4528. This is only effective to 4528-4 for unknown reasons, but 5730-3 can go across the fence, thus posing as a danger to the towns within its travelling range.

[CONTEXT OF IMAGE CLASSIFIED]

Civilians and non-Foundation personnel who witness SCP-5730-3 and 4 and survive are not to be given any amnestics, as doing such could cause a GD-Class Gestalt Dissolution Scenario. These civilians will instead be allowed to be let go, as the existence of 4528-3 and 4 are widespread in Filipino mythology. Foundation personnel are to simply convince witnesses that they did not witness anything anomalous. If subjects are given amnestics, artefacts and objects from █████ ████ may start appearing in areas they are not on display from. Aside from that, interior of the National Museum of Anthropology in Manila will appear as if it was in its state in 1925, while ███ ████ will appear as its state around 24,000 BC.

National Museum of Anthropology in Manila

If such is to occur, █████ ████ and the National Museum of Anthropology are to be closed for two weeks and 14 hours. In this period, no one is to enter the museum nor ██ █ ████ in order to prevent any form of alteration to the past. It is still unknown if █████ ████ and the museum are in a “time loop” or if it just appears as if it is in the time period suggested. However, in order to maintain the normal course of human history and to prevent a potential LK-Class species transmutation scenario, entering █████ ████ and the National Museum of Anthropology is strictly prohibited until the 14 day period has passed.

A bust of SCP-5730 in Lakshmana Temple in Madhya Pradesh, India dated to around the 10th century AD, making it the oldest recorded artistic depiction of SCP-5730.

History: SCP-5730 was originally discovered in 1819 by Foundation operatives embedded in the Spanish colonial government and in the Catholic Church in the Philippines, when reports of missing farmers led local guardia civil6 to ████████ Hill. The radio mast did not "exist" until ██/██/1952, where it suddenly appeared, attracting local civilians to the area and triggering SCP-5730-3. When the Foundation arrived, 63 civilians were injured and 3 were killed. The incident was covered up as an attack by communist insurgents. Soon after the incident, Operation Wipe was launched to prevent information about SCP-5730-3 and SCP-5730-4 from spreading by funding various media and propaganda about SCP-5730-3 and SCP-5730-4 as a product of folklore and urban legends.

The first recorded mention of SCP-5730 was from local Catholic missionaries in the Philippines around 1590 who were researching on the local religion and beliefs of the indigenous peoples of the country. However, knowledge of SCP-5730 goes back to around ~2000 BCE with roots in Hinduism with association to the Hindu god of wisdom Hayagriva, a horse-headed "avatar" of the Lord Vishnu in the Hindu religion. Hinduism spread throughout Southeast Asia in the 2nd century AD.
