A Filipino husband has had his faith healer wife's body exhumed
after claiming she visited him in a dream.
Guillermo Anselmo says his wife Marcelina de Leon told him her
mission on Earth was still unfinished.
Now her body has been exhumed villagers are once again flocking
to her house to be treated.
Bai Marcing, as she was known, used to treat people using water,
betel nut and palay in Bugallon, Pangasinan.
Now her body has been exhumed, it lies in a specially built room
at the back of her house and her son and grandchild treat the sick
by consulting her body and rubbing tap water on the ailing part
of the patient's body.
Her family was surprised to find her body still soft and not cold,
reports The Philippine Star.
Mr Anselmo has told the authorities he will rebury his wife's remains
if the body emits a foul odour and when she tells him in a dream
to do so.
