THE DU WE NDE
BY: LUC BUNAG/G ROUP 2/CN:2/5-B/DLSZ
Once, there was a child, who moved to the U.S., but when the
child was 7, there was a very interesting event. It happened in
the Philippines. The child's dad was going to see his sister, the
child's aunt, and the child's cousins. The child's aunt had 3
children; two are older than the child while the other one is the
same age. When the child and the dad went there, the child's
aunt and cousins ran to the child in happiness. All the children
played Hide n' Seek, with the oldest cousin as the seeker and
everyone else as the hiders. The aunt's house was in the woods.
It was nearby different mountains, trees, and tall grass.
There is a belief
about The Duwende
in the Philippinesthey stay in forests
and if you want to
enter their territory,
you will need to say
"Tabi-Tabi po nuno"
so they will allow you
to enter, otherwise
providing a curse. It
also depends on its
type (good/evil
Duwendes).
Going back to the game, the child wanted to hide well. The child
saw a gigantic tree with a hole and decided to hide there. The
child forgot about what was told about the Duwende and didn't
mind of what to say and stayed long. Later, the child went
outside of the tree and went back. When the cousins saw the
child, they said that they gave up because the child was hiding
so well. Before dinner, something strange happened. The child
was in a comma for 3 days, or in other words, the child is seeing
things and reacting unnecessarily. The family tried to help by
bringing the child to a common hospital, but not a single person
knew what was wrong. The aunt helped by asking her kids what
was going on outside that time. They said they were just playing
hide n' seek and the child was the hardest to find.
The aunt and dad thought it was the
doing of an Evil Duwende. They took
the child to an Albularyo (Witch
Doctor) to see what the problem
truly was.
The dad told the child that once the child was in the Witch
Doctor's house, the Witch Doctor will sense the evil in the
child's precesnce. The witch lit a candle. Next, she filled a tub
with 1-2 inches of water. Then, she added special oil from a
plant into the tub. After that, she chanted in an unknown
language. Soon, the child's uncle said the mixture showed a
figure of a tree with a hole. Inside the hole was a person,
referring to the child, and surrounding the child was 4-5
Duwendes, some standing and starring while some are
throwing something at the child.
The witch instructed them to return to
the location, say "Tabi-tabi po Nuno",
and give fruits as offerings. They did
as told and the child forgot the next
day.
