[2] The story of Kulafu started when a toddler named "Pido" was snatched by a gigantic bird called "Ibong Malta" from his human mother while she was doing the laundry at a nearby river.
The male Ibong Malta became impatient and tried to devour Pido right away which resulted to a fight between the two gigantic birds.
Because of the combined sounds made by the monkey Guna and the Ibong Malta, Magat concluded that Pido's name was "Kulafu".
Kulafu’s adventures included battling mythical creatures such as dragons and mermen (known as siyokoy in Tagalog), among others.
Kulafu's friend Magat helped him create a garment made from the skin of the tiger.
The magazine was based on the original Kulafu comic book hero created by the Reyeses.
