When the oil refinery and depot was constructed in our village, strange incidents occurred in the area.
At the start of the construction all the trees were felled down by the workers. At the edge of the area by the side of the steep slope with creek, lies a big Balete /Nonoc tree that stand alone. No local chainsaw operator bothered to cut it because they knew the tree harbored demons, elves and tamawo. When the foreman ordered one of his men to cut the tree, the chainsaw broke down and that night the handler of the chainsaw fell ill.
The Engineer then ordered his man, driving bulldozer to ripped the tree. The bulldozer headed straight to the tree to attack it on its trunk, but to the amazement of the driver he could not control the equipment and it went straight to the slope toward the creek.
The developer never gave up and this time they used a large backhoe. When the backhoe started to dig at the roots of the tree the machine became uncontrolled and went again to the slope down to the creek.
Now, they believed that there were supernaturals beings dwelling on that tree.
So they stop attacking the tree, instead they build a landscape area around the tree, complete with benches, lagoon and planted with ornamental plants and flowers.
