Lore
Nuno sa Punso is a small, elderly earth spirit in Philippine folklore, dwelling in anthills or mounds. Disturbing his home brings curses like swelling, illness, or misfortune, relieved by saying "tabi tabi po" (excuse me, please pass). Nuno represents respect for the land and unseen spirits. In myths, he punishes disrespect but rewards politeness, embodying animistic beliefs in the sacredness of nature. Nuno serves as a reminder to tread lightly and honor the environment in traditional Philippine culture.
