Saturn’s association with time ("Saturnino" as "Son of Saturn") introduces a cyclical or apocalyptic dimension. Book 2 might depict a world where the Salamangka ’s curse interacts with celestial cycles, forcing a reckoning between divine and satanic forces.

The second installment of the Salamangka series, subtitled Saturnino, Satanas, Book 2 , continues the dark, occult-inflected narrative established in its predecessor. Situated at the crossroads of Philippine folk Catholicism, urban legend, and horror-fantasy, this volume deepens the mythos surrounding the titular character, Saturnino—a figure whose name evokes both the Roman god of agriculture (Saturnus) and the infernal (Satanas). This paper argues that Book 2 functions not merely as a horror narrative but as an allegory for the corrosive nature of absolute power, the illusion of free will under diabolical pacts, and the specifically Filipino negotiation with colonial religious duality (anito vs. santo, folk magic vs. demonic pact).
Saturnino must figure out why his grandfather left him a massive fortune and what responsibilities come with the family name.

Saturnino Satanas (a name that deliberately invokes the devil, "Satanás") is a pseudonymous figure, often described as a Mangkukulam (witch) from Batangas or Laguna during the late Spanish colonial period. Legend holds he was a Catholic sacristan who turned to black magic after being denied Holy Orders. He allegedly made a pact, not with the Christian Satan directly, but with Demonyong Tierra (Earth Demons) and Mga Nuno sa Punso (guardians of the mounds).
