--- BAJUGO WARRIOR DOLL --- My name is WARRI. For a long time, I've been in deep slumber in a cave without any power until the spell was broken by some mysterious spirit. Now, I am free and I can put my mystic charms to good use. My parents, BAJUGO WISHING DOLLS attest to my abilities of giving justice, protection, happiness and luck to any- one who takes good card of me. Remember that my sword symboliz- es JUSTICE to the OPPRESSED; my shield gives PROTECTION to the WEAK; the color of shirt assures HAPPINESS to the LONELY; and LUCK comes when you hang me where you can always see me. Have faith in your wish and I shall grant it. P.S. Carry this tale in your wallet whenever you seek my mystic powers! MADE IN THE PHILIPPINES

TALE OF BAJUGO SEED BAJUGO (BA-JOO-GO) is a kind of seed of an oversized bean only found in dense forest near a stream. It's rare and blooms during October and December. Added to its mysteries, you'll always remember why people seldom witness a seed fall. For as the legend goes, they fall in mass at night. Those in possession of them seem to be on the better side of life. MADE IN THE PHILIPPINES
