But not everyone can see and experience the magical city of Biringan. Only those who are invited are free to wander. But once you enter, you must not eat black rice to avoid being locked up forever in the city. The most definite sign to identify a native of Biringan City is the absence of a philtrum, the sign of humanity. Biringan City is also inhabited by enchanted beings that possess magical powers and have abilities to shape-shift or travel instantaneously.

According to the locals, Biringan City is said to be hidden in between, Gandara, Pagsanghan, and Tarangnan in Samar province, Philippines. To reach the city, the traveler must walk past a long forest. You need to make sure to walk lightly as you can to avoid interrupting the rest of the enchanted beings residing in the forest. It is extremely forbidden to point your fingers in any direction of the forest. The KMJS team reached their destination but never see the said Lost City of Biringan.
