Lore

Tundo is a massive mountain giant in Cordillera (Ifugao) Philippine folklore, causing earthquakes with his footsteps or stamping. He guards rice terraces and mountains, punishing disrespect with tremors but protecting those who honor the land. Tundo embodies the power of nature and the consequences of disturbing sacred places. In myths, he represents the earth's wrath and the need for balance with the environment, reflecting indigenous respect for mountains and the forces that shape the land in Philippine tradition.
