Triskaidekaphobia as a concept isn’t all that unusual. Fear of the number 13 has permeated cultures everywhere but is believed to have stemmed from Christianity. During the Last Supper, Jesus shared his bread with his 12 apostles. The 13th person in the room was Judas, the individual who would later betray Christ. The superstition about the number 13 was believed to have started with this.

As the Philippines is a strongly Christian country, it is no wonder that these beliefs are so prominent there. In fact, you will rarely find the 13th floor in the Philippines, because people would be too superstitious to use it.
