That little man isn’t real you know. With his little bowler hat, long beard, crooked nose, and the fact that he’s not more than a foot tall, it’s pretty obvious. That little man is a duwende! Keep your kids from playing with these little fellas! Cris and Mickey teach you what to do when encountering a dwarf, and Jovitt adds his own insights on Philippine mythological creatures.
A: Bata, maglaro tayo!
B: Uuuh, sino ka?
A: Kaibigan mo ako!
B: Teka, duwende ka!
Translation:
A: Hey kid, let’s play!
B: Umm, who are you?
A: I’m your friend!
B: Wait, you’re a dwarf!
So, if Filipino mythology contains dwarfs, how about giants? The phrase, ‘tabi-tabi’- is that a good all around phrase when you need to say, “excuse me”? For instance, you’re leaving the Jeepney- can you say, “Tabi-tabi, po” as you pass passengers?
Hmm… I don’t think Pinoys usually use ‘tabi-tabi’ to say ‘excuse me.’ We usually just say ‘excuse me po.’
Regarding giants, I’m not familiar with giants (‘higante’ in Filipino) in Filipino mythology. However, we do have giant-like beings like the kapre, which is essentially this huge creature that hangs out in tree, while smoking cigars.
