1 Origin of the Nuno Sa Punso By:Bjorn Escalona

2 Histor y The Nuno Sa Punso is an old man who lives in an anthill. He spits at people when the people interfere with his home but why is he so evil? Why did he turn bad? Long time ago, there was a girl Nuno named Tale. She is fat that is why Bakol (the name of the boy Nuno) likes her. One day Tale was kidnapped. Every day Bakol kept on thinking about her and if he should go out of the anthill to find Tale. He talked to Tandang Puten, the oldest Nuno. Tandang Puten told him to move on and start a new life but Bakol said he would never forget Tale. There was a feast and everybody wore their finest clothes. They danced, they ate and they drank. Suddenly the ground broke giving way to the sky. They saw a bright light source, then all of them were trapped. Then one night, Bakol decided to go out of the anthill. When he was out, he felt the fresh air that he never felt before. He saw the sun that gives light to the surroundings. From afar, he could see Raul's house. Raul was a human that became their friend. Since he was a child, Raul played with the dwarves. He grew up with a wide intelligence about the life of people living underground. He respected the colony and treated like his own family or relative. Bakol went near Raul's house. He heard that Raul was talking to someone on the phone and that he will be going to China. "Don't worry, Sir, they will be fine. They will follow or obey you. Please take care of them and make sure that the colony stays healthy." Bakol got goosebumps when he heard the word "colony". He came closer so that he could hear the conversation. In the end, he understood what will happen. Raul betrayed the colony. He will go to China where the other dwarves can be found. He is being used so that the colony will agree to join the mission. Bakol finally decided to wait for Raul outside his house and planned to join him to his trip to China. He will hide himself in one of his luggages so that he could see Tale, his long lost girlfriend. So the journey to China happened.

3 China is one of the powerful countries where the city Xichang is located which is known as "Base 27", where China had launched many missions in the outer space. At present, it is urgent to conduct a mission in the planet Mars. The first mission was when the humans went to the moon, or the "taikonauts", the term used by the Chinese for astronauts. The next mission will be done by the dwarves. They plan to send them to Mars and will leave them for good to start or create their own life or destiny. If the spaceship is small and if the passengers are little ones, it can save fuel and also save space and that they could bring with them water, food, air, all materials that they need in Mars. Being small is very important according to Fraser Cain, a writer about science, the spaceship is next to Hohmann transfer orbits. This is the place where two plants meet and they have the right energy or short capacity to shorten the travel. The spaceship will travel around the Earth to get force and energy. Then using the speed button it will land to the meeting place of the two planets, then will land on Mars. It is important that the spaceship should land directly on where Earth and Mars are located because this happened only every 25th month. In other time, the travel is longer and more fuel/gasoline, food and other needs are needed. If they follow the procedure, they could reach Mars only in 214 days approximately 7 months. It is very important for the humans to do this mission to test if they can live on Mars because our natural resources, air, water and other creations are being destroyed because of nuclear radiation and pollution. Mars is the hope, the life saver of the human population. It is the second home if the Earth will turn into nothing or will be destroyed. But why did they choose the dwarves from the Philippines to be the volunteers to go to Mars? When in fact they don't agree with the idea. Unfortunately in their law the dwarves have no rights to complain because before they came up, they first used monkeys, dogs, cats, snakes and more. All the dwarves and animals have the same rights.

4 Bakol waited for a long period of time then finally the day came that he finally showed up to Raul. Raul tagged along with Bakol and Raul brought Bakol to the colonies. Bakol's friends were excited and happy to see him. He is their hope. They believed that Bakol is strong and smart. They will be saved. After several weeks of separation, Bakol and Tale were united once again. Bakol joined his colony to gain their trust that he will be able to save them. Through diligence, he explained the importance of the real meaning of their mission. Even though they were captured, not all of them were forced to do their mission or task. He showed them the importance of patience because they waited for it. Their destination is really different from where they came from. "What matters is we are together and we will live or die together" said Bakol. Finally the colony decided. Yes, all of them are willing to work together to materialize the mission. "We only have one request." Bakol said to Raul and to the other members. "Free the colony, send those who are alone so that they will be together again with their loved ones." Bakol said. "And we will stay here and get ready to travel and go on with our mission." Bakol added. The "miniatus" agreed. "Miniatus" is a term they agreed for astronauts who are dwarves. Then they were all set and ready. They sent the news all over the world that the first mission to go to Mars will be them, "the little ones". They used the spaceship which they called "Dwarf 1" that carried 500 dwarf passengers. From Pundaquit, Zambales, Philippines, the mission was launched and it was shown on media like television. The whole world saw the flag of the Philippines and China on the spaceship. When the spaceship was out of the Earth's gravity and they floated in outer space, Bakol whispered to Tale "We will become the new Adan and Eve of our species. I am so happy and proud that we are together again." Then Tale smiled to Bakol and hugged him. Back on Earth the other dwarves that were sent home started telling the others about Bakol.

5 Sculpture When they had finished telling the story. The dwarves became more strict not to make humans go near their territory. That is why they would tend to spit on people who trespass or destroy their home to retain their extinction and the spit symbolizes a curse. A curse that will make humans lives miserable so that they will fear to go near the dwarves' territories. THE END
