Character Relationships in Aswang

Hasmin (played by Lovi Poe) is a protagonist in Aswang. A plantation resident who saves two runaway children. She is secretly a Bangkilan, a high-ranking aswang capable of turning humans into creatures, but defies her heritage to remain benevolent. She transforms into an abuwak to create distractions, turns the mortally wounded Daniel into an aswang to save him, and actively fights against her own kind and hitmen to protect the children. Daniel (played by Paulo Avelino) appears in Aswang. A reluctant hitman tracking the children, motivated only by his family being held hostage by his boss. He infiltrates the creature-infested plantation, seeks Hasmin's help, and is mortally wounded during an escape. Hasmin transforms him into an aswang to save his life, after which he joins her in fighting their enemies and eventually travels back to his hometown. Gabriel (played by Albie Casiño) appears in Aswang. A young boy on the run with his sister Ahnia after hitmen murder their family. They get lost and arrive in a town terrorized by mythical creatures. Hidden by Hasmin in a plantation, he is briefly captured but eventually rescued, later choosing to stay with Guada while the others depart. Ahnia (played by Jillian Ward) appears in Aswang. A young girl fleeing with her brother Gabriel from hired killers. After getting lost in a town under attack by aswang-like creatures, she is hidden in Hasmin's plantation. She is captured during an escape attempt but is ultimately saved and left in the care of Guada by the film's end. Gido (played by Marc Abaya) appears in Aswang. A ruthless hitman who tracks the children to the plantation and leads the assault alongside his backup. He kills two creatures that cause panic in town, but his subsequent attack on the plantation is overwhelmed by the aswangs. Cornered and defeated, he commits suicide by detonating a grenade. Queenie (played by Niña Jose) appears in Aswang. One of the three hitmen tracking the children. She successfully locates Gabriel and Ahnia inside the plantation but is subsequently captured and tortured by the creatures. When forced by Hasmin to eat her, Hasmin breaks her neck in defiance instead.
