Nuno sa Punso

The NUNO SA PUNSO is not a dwarf but a dwarf-like spirit of an old man who is dwelling in an anthill or termite mound. It gets easily angry at those who comes near its mound or causes damage to it.

The nuno can curse those who have offended it in any way by using its magical power. For example, if you pee on its mound, it can make your genitals swell. If you kick its mound, your feet will be swollen.

To counter its curse, the victims should ask for forgiveness from the nuno which is sometimes done together with the offering of fruits, animals such as chickens and pigs, special drinks and other material things.

The funny side though is that there is a theory that some albularyos make up the story that these victims were suffering because they've angered a nuno sa punso, conduct the offering ritual to appease the goblin but secretly steals their offerings for their family's consumption, which led some people to make fun of mounts which were believed to be inhabited by the goblin by intentionally urinating or stepping on them.
