Plot

"Tamawo"
An old man named Lando buries something under his house. When he is finished, he encounters a group of white-skinned people. The chieftain demands Lando return something that belongs to them which he refuses. Angered, he and his tribesmen savagely kill him.

Bikbok moves to an isolated town with his blind mother Isay, his baby brother and his discontented stepfather Allan to survive poverty where Allan can take charge at the farm after his uncle Lando died earlier. The next day, Allan finds something under the house where he encounters the object buried by Lando earlier which reveals to be a crystalline egg. At night, Bikbok watches outside and notices the white creatures watching him.

The next day, Allan's cousin Pey takes Isay, Allan and Bikbok to Aling Epang to cure their baby. As Bikbok collects some water, he sees a group of sparks and decides to follow it. He stops by and plays at the waterfall before noticing the same creatures earlier are watching him. The chieftain orders his tribe to catch him as Bikbok runs. He attempts to escape but the creatures corner him. The chieftain tells him to give back something which it was stolen but Bikbok assures that he and his family didn't steal anything.

The chieftain tells him that if he does not return it otherwise on the third day at night when the new moon arrives, he and his family will be in danger. Bikbok runs to Aling Epang for help and tells her what he saw. Epang realizes the white creatures are the Tamawos, a group of fairy people who are creatures and tribal warriors who take away people. After Bikbok tells her about what they have stolen, Epang tells him that he needs to find out what they have stolen because the tamawos will never stop until it is returned. Meanwhile, Pey is killed by the tamawos when he encounters them at the forest. At night, Bikbok and his family are attacked by the tamawos with Allan having his foot injured in the process.

After Epang heals his injury, Bikbok tries to tell him his story but Allan distrusts him. Allan walks to the forest and finds Pey’s mutilated body. Horrified and grieved, they decide to leave. When Bikbok enters Allan's room, he finds the crystalline egg with a baby inside, realizing it is the object that the tamawos were looking for. The next day, Allan decides to take revenge on the people who killed Pey when the ranch owner blames him on the incident. He returns to the house but decides to leave when he finds the egg gone.

When Isay tells Bikbok that he stole it, Allan threatens Bikbok but Isay hits him to protect her son. When Allan threatens Isay, she urges Bikbok to escape. He grabs the egg and runs off but Allan chases after him. Meanwhile, the tamawos capture Isay and the baby. Bikbok tries to return the egg, but Allan finds him and attempts to grab the egg. After a struggle, Allan throws the egg and breaks it as the tamawos watch.

After Allan runs off, the tamawos arrive and see their baby had died which enrages them. Meanwhile, at the cave, Isay finds her baby as the tamawos arrive. Allan arrives at the cave and fights the tamawos. They try to escape but the tamawos corner them and kill Allan as he begs for mercy in revenge for the egg.

With the tamawos about to take Isay, Bikbok runs to them and begs for them to take him instead. The tamawos accept his request. Bikbok bids farewell to his mother, and Isay cries in anguish before Epang arrives and watch him get taken away by the tamawos.

"Rain Rain Go Away"
During the wrath of Typhoon Ondoy, Cynthia and her family are forced to leave when their house and their factory flooded. With Cynthia and her husband Mar's anniversary plans ruined, she goes into labor and Mar takes her to the hospital. A news report features Marikina where child laborers died at the factory.

A year later, Cynthia and Mar move into a condominium and are expecting another baby after their child died from miscarriage a year ago. After working at their new plastic factory, Mar's brother Nante brought Cynthia back to the condominium to cook dinner. It rains before they leave and Cynthia, due to the typhoon, has developed hydrophobia. At the parking lot, Cynthia leaves Nante and returns to the condominium. While Nante is at the parking lot, water pours out of his car. He attempts to escape but the water fills up his car and drowns him. The police question the family about Nante's death. As Cynthia is sleeping, she sees Nante’s body floating in the coffin before she wakes up.

The next day, Cynthia meets a wealthy couple planning to buy an old factory and tours them around the place. While there, the man finds the warehouse locked. Later, after Cynthia collects her allowance, she encounters an old woman who returns a donation and warns her. Cynthia is horrified and collapses. After recovering at the hospital, she notices children drawing an eye while singing and returns to the condominium. Cynthia has another nightmare involving Mar. She wakes up and Mar is nearly drowned while sleeping. After Mar arrives, Cynthia tells him about her nightmare and the tragedy from the typhoon earlier which Mar disbelieves. That night, Cynthia, Mar, his mother Maritess, and their maid Dina arrive at the factory with a priest to bless it. After the priest leaves, the old woman, whom Cynthia encountered earlier, watches her.

Cynthia notices the old lady talking to Dina. Before leaving, Cynthia questions Dina about what the old lady said. Dina replied that the lady said that she remembered what happened to her father earlier, whom she didn't save from the house fire, revealing tnat the dead will never rest if nobody saves them. Meanwhile, Mar, who is returning to the condominium, drowns in an elevator. Cynthia escapes from her flooded bathroom and encounters a group of ghosts. Horrified, she escapes to an elevator where she finds Mar's corpse. As Cynthia mourns his death, she gives birth to a healthy baby.

At the hospital, both Cynthia and Maritess became guilty about the child laborers who died during the typhoon. It was revealed that Cynthia & her family were responsible for that tragedy, having locked and abandoned them in the factory warehouse after their shift. Before the arrival of the typhoon, they begged the family for help until they were drowned in the flood. Their spirits began to haunt them by killing each of the family members through water. As Maritess began to leave the hospital, she notices children standing in the middle of the road before being killed by a truck of mineral water. After selling their new factory, Cynthia gives the donation back to the old woman but the lady refuses because her grandchildren have been working to help her grandmother. The lady's grandchildren were among the laborers who died from the typhoon. Cynthia begs the lady to accept it so that she could leave at peace with her child, which the old lady accepts.

Reception

Critical response
The film has been graded with an "A" by the Cinema Evaluation Board of the Philippines.

In a review for ClickTheCity.com, Philbert Ortiz Dy described the film as a worthy anthology rating it with 4 out of a possible 5 stars. The film serves as a nice showcase of local talent and the 'Parola' episode itself is "worth the price of admission." Its weaknesses include the overall length and unevenness in regards to the two other episodes paling in comparison with Parola's quality and impact.

However, PEP.ph's Abby Mendoza was more appreciative of the film pointing out how unique the storytelling elements, themes and performances of each episode made Shake, Rattle & Roll 13 a film that does "more than creep one out."

Accolades

Notes
The word "Tamawo" is very much close to "Maligno" (a Tagalog word which means monstrous, or eerie creature); an Ilonggo word.
