Nuno Sa Punso
A nuno sa punso ("old man of the mound"), or simply nuno ("old man" or "grandparent" "ancestor"), is a dwarf-like nature spirit ('' anito'') in Philippine mythology. It is believed to live in an anthill or termite mound, hence its name, literally 'Ancestor/Grandparent living in the anthill'. Description "The "nono" are the spirits of the ancestors. When a tree is to be felled, or a piece of virgin ground broken, or on many other occasions, permission is asked of the nono, in order to avoid the misfortune that would come from angering it. The ''nuno'' is described to be a small old man with a long beard, but differs from a duwende or dwarf of Philippine folklore. The duwende is a playful hobgoblin who shows himself to children, while the ''nuno'' is a goblin easily angered that will do harm to those who damage or disturb his mound, and will seek retribution, for example by causing the foot of someone who kicked his mound to become swollen. Nuno sa punso are also believed to i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tambol Mayor
''Tambon'' ( th, ตำบล, ) is a local governmental unit in Thailand. Below district ('' amphoe'') and province (''changwat''), they form the third administrative subdivision level. there were 7,255 tambons, not including the 180 '' khwaeng'' of Bangkok, which are set at the same administrative level, thus every district contains eight to ten tambon. ''Tambon'' is usually translated as "township" or "subdistrict" in English — the latter is the recommended translation, though also often used for ''king amphoe'', the designation for a subdistrict acting as a branch (Thai: ''king'') of the parent district. Tambon are further subdivided into 69,307 villages ('' muban''), about ten per ''tambon''. ''Tambon'' within cities or towns are not subdivided into villages, but may have less formal communities called ''chumchon'' ( ชุมชน) that may be formed into community associations. History The ''tambon'' as a subdivision has a long history. It was the second-level s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Waling-Waling
''Vanda sanderiana'' is a species of orchid. It is commonly called Waling-waling in the Philippines and is also called Sander's Vanda, after Henry Frederick Conrad Sander, a noted orchidologist. The orchid is considered to be the "Queen of Philippine flowers" and is worshiped as a ''diwata'' by the indigenous Bagobo people. Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach named it as ''Vanda sanderiana''. It has two forms, pink and white, also referred to as ''alba''. M. Roebelin discovered the original pink variety in the Philippines in 1881 or 1882. Rudolf Schlechter separated ''Euanthe'' from ''Vanda'' in 1914 due to structural differences in the flowers. For breeding purposes and registration by the Royal Horticultural Society, however, it is still treated as a Vanda. ''Vanda sanderiana'' is endemic to Mindanao in the provinces of Davao, Cotabato, and Zamboanga where it is found on the trunks of dipterocarp trees at elevations below 500 meters. Over-collected, the plant is considere ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Victory Joe
The term victory (from Latin ''victoria'') originally applied to warfare, and denotes success achieved in personal combat, after military operations in general or, by extension, in any competition. Success in a military campaign constitutes a strategic victory, while the success in a military engagement is a tactical victory. In terms of human emotion, victory accompanies strong feelings of elation, and in human behaviour often exhibits movements and poses paralleling threat display preceding the combat, which are associated with the excess endorphin built up preceding and during combat. Victory dances and victory cries similarly parallel war dances and war cries performed before the outbreak of physical violence. Examples of victory behaviour reported in Roman antiquity, where the term ''victoria'' originated, include: the victory songs of the Batavi mercenaries serving under Gaius Julius Civilis after the victory over Quintus Petillius Cerialis in the Batavian rebell ...
