Ever heard of Penis-snatching? No, not the kind that Filipina, Lorena Bobbit,
did to her husband years ago. Nor is it the same kind as that recent incident

shrinking penises. Stealing of body parts is not uncommon in West

widespread.
The victims, who were also detained by the police, claimed that the
sorcerers merely touched them, which caused their penises to either
shrink or disappear. A similar incident occurred …..Click here to read more

What does "Filipina" have anything to do with describing Lorena Bobbit unless you mean to imply cutting off men's penises is a trait of the culture's women since you mentioned an incident in the Philippines as well? Lorena's name alone is more than enough to recall her infamy.
Lorena is a native of Ecuador. I do not know if she's of Filipina decent, do you?
Frightful
It makes me think. Hope, (that we don't fall into another dark ages) that one day they will look back on an incident like this and be able to say, "the last time someone was tried in the Democratic Republic of Congo for sorcery was in...".
