This is a Philippino fairy story. He is a dwarf. The dwarf is called 'the Old Man of the Ant Hill or the Mound' and he could cause harm or injury to anyone who destroys the Mound or Ant Hill, which is his home. That is why people walking in the forest ask permission by saying ' Excuse us, old man of the mound' before passing a mound or an ant hill.
