That fairy or the Diwata as we call it in our dialect is friendly, caring, lovely and beautiful. The legend says she protects the mountain from abusers.

I like it, too! I’ve seen the Diwata in my readings and from friends who celebrate.

That's good. It's an old legend we have had here in our local place of nature like the Canlaon volcano.
