THE WOMAN GUARD

It was said that during the Japanese time, Japanese soldiers planned to establish their camp in the town (Nabua).  There was no garrison of the Japanese Imperial Army in the town.

It was said that when the Japanese Imperial Army was in route in the town, a small woman of barely four feet block the way to the church.

The group reportedly did not stop but proceeded to the next town and established a garrison.

It was believed that the woman was the Blessed Virgin who stood guard against the enemy and protected her deeply religious people.

MORE ON DWARFS

One afternoon, in the early 50’s, while I was still in the primary grades, there was a sudden commotion between the ‘kiosko’ of the Roman Catholic Church and the public central school.  They were shouting ‘dwende’

It seemed that only the children and woman saw the little creature coming from the concrete stairs of the school.  Several hundreds of the residents were around the school compound and the church yard.  The children were apprehensive that the old folks might step on the tiny people.  From what the children said, the dwarfs were laughing at the old people who could not see them.

At present, the school was no more even if the building still exists.  It was turned in a commercial area.  The school authorities were unable to establish ownership of the land.

Also, until this time, no similar incidents happen.  Nobody knows if they leave the place.
