Back in the Philippines, I learned something the hard way. Kuman thong may still have residual negative energy carried over from their previous owners. Not surprisingly, many owners are eager to transfer their kuman thong to other buyers for a variety of reasons--the kuman thong brought not so good luck, the kuman thong had too many trickster habits, the kuman thong caused things to get broken in the house, et cetera.

In order to get rid of this energy, place a green apple (two apples if you have two to five as in my case) in front of the kuman thong on his or their shrine. Leave the green apples there. They will absorb the negative energy. When the green apples begin to rot, take them away, tie them inside a plastic bag, and throw them in the dust bin.
