00:00 The creatures we will see are different.
00:03 Aside from dogs and horses,
00:06 there are also monsters.
00:08 Here in Manila,
00:11 there are mausoleums and cemeteries
00:13 that are vast and scenic.
00:18 People can live here.
00:24 [music]
00:27 They say the style of the north is different.
00:35 At first glance,
00:36 you'd think it's an old attraction.
00:38 But you'll notice the different designs.
00:41 There are dog shapes,
00:45 horses,
00:47 and other animals.
00:54 But wait,
00:55 this is not a park or a cemetery.
00:57 Because the few animals that are designed
01:01 are none other than...
01:04 Nitsos!
01:07 Instead of being scary,
01:12 they are more like a fun and exciting experience.
01:14 And now, they are being buried here in Ujabanawi.
01:18 The Nitsos are leveled up
01:19 by Mang Santos,
01:22 a woodcarver who was born in Ifugao.
01:24 I've been a woodcarver since I was a kid.
01:27 When I was a kid,
01:29 I had teachers,
01:31 the first carvers.
01:32 They were my mentors.
01:36 We used to carve animals.
01:39 Because he grew up loving animals,
01:41 he decided to use his talent
01:45 to make a living
01:48 for the Tumao.
01:50 Using cement and paint,
01:52 he makes Nitsos and Lapidas.
01:55 It takes a week to finish.
01:58 But choosing a design for a customized Nitso
02:02 is not easy.
02:04 It needs to represent the Tumao.
02:08 When his father-in-law died,
02:10 he thought of making a unique Nitso
02:13 with a tail.
02:16 My father-in-law is a deer
02:18 because he was a deer hunter.
02:22 When his wife passed away in 2013
02:25 due to cancer,
02:26 he remembered a special Nitso
02:29 as a symbol of love.
02:32 It's not an animal, it's a log.
02:34 I thought of it because
02:35 our job before we die
02:39 is planting trees.
02:40 Mang Santos says that the design
02:43 of the Tumao's tail
02:45 represents the life of the Tumao.
02:48 It's a symbol of their life.
02:52 It's a symbol of their life.
02:55 He's a true hunter.
02:58 When he was alive,
03:00 his motto was
03:01 "always be on the move."
03:04 That's why he thought of a turtle.
03:06 I thought of a turtle that would suit him.
03:09 My aunt walks slowly.
03:13 Everyone who walks there
03:15 likes it because it's not scary.
03:19 It's not like a box
03:21 that you know there's a dead animal inside.
03:25 Now, his cousins
03:28 are the ones who make his customized Nitso.
03:30 But he doesn't close the door
03:33 to share his talent.
03:35 If there's a job
03:38 even in a storm
03:41 it's possible.
03:43 It depends on the job.
03:45 He says that his talents
03:49 are also felt in other countries.
03:50 He was also invited to
03:51 make his works in Brazil.
03:54 I was invited to an art exhibit.
03:56 The wood carvings I carved
04:00 and my friends were exhibited there.
04:02 The stories that will be told
04:07 will be left and right.
04:10 The stories that will be told
04:13 will still have a cute good vibes.
