Geocache Description:


The Duwende are little elves in Filipino mythology. They are known to be quite small, and look similar to the common image of an elf, or a goblin. Duwendes are known to have magical powers that can grant people good luck, or bad luck and are known to take things from humans, since they find it funny when they hide items and the humans try to look for them.

Usually, when passing by what are believed to be the homes of Duwende, humans would mutter "tabi-tabi po" as a way of excusing themselves, and asking for forgiveness from the Duwende for bothering them (be sure you don’t pee on his tree).

Leave your ally (offering) by signing the log with the date you visit this cache.

The Duwende are shy and often hide behind trees to avoid being seen.

Mabuhay!

Please bring your own pen or pencil, there is not room in this small container.

This is a custom 3D printed container, open at the bottom.  Please replace and cover well with leaves.

Have some stealth, there can be muggles around.

If it's been raining, the ground will be a bit soft/muddy.

Learn more about the Duwende from a Mikey Bustos musical parody on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dYp4peeSpU).

There is a custom 3D printed token for the "First To Find" finder, please take with you and enjoy!
