Panganoron and Magayon

Long ago in a place called ibalon, there lived a beautiful maoden. Her name was Daragang Magayon (the lovely one). She was the daugther of Makusog (the strong one), chief of the tribe.

One day,Daragang Magayon strolled near the river. While crossing the river, she stumbled on a rock and fell quickly in the water. She was swiftly swept down stream by the current.

"Help! help me! she cried. Fortunately,her cries were heard by Pangaroon (the proud one) and his bodyguard Amihan (thecl cold one). Pangaroon jumped into the river and saved Daragang Magayon.

"Thank you for risking your life save me," she cried. "How can i repay you? my father is the chief of our tribe. Surely,he will reward your heroism whatever it may take."

Her beauty immediately captivated Pangaroon. He realized that he had finally met the perfect wowan for him. At the same time, Daragang Mayon was instantly attracted to him.

Pangaroon asked Makusogs permission to marry Daragang Mayon. But Makusog could not permit them to marry. Tribal law forbade marriage outside of the clan. As tribe leader he had to enforce the law. Yet, as a father, he wanted to make his daugther happy.

Meanwhile,Patuga (the eruptive one) learned about Pangaroons intention. Patuga was the most ardent suitor of Daragang Magayon. For years, he had been convincing her to marry him, but to no avail.

One nigth, Patuga and his cohorts kidnapped Makusog. Then,he sent word to Daragang Magayon that her father would die if she did not marry him. Without a choice,she acceded. Only then did Patuga relaease Makusog. Soon Patuga and Daragang Magayon were wed. But in the midst of the marrymaking,pendemonium broke out when Pangaroon and his men arrived. Figthing ensued between teh two tribes . In a few minutes, Pangaroon fatally struck Patuga. However,during the skirmish, a poisoned arrow shot from nowhere, fell on Daragang Magayons breast.

Pangaroon rushed to her aid and as he kneeled over the dying Daragang Magayon, an enemy hacked his head off.

After the battle, Daragang Magayon was buried and he death was mourned all over the land. Where she was put to rest, a mountain mysteriously appeared.

This mountain is know as Mayon. It is said that even in death and in another form, she is still haunted by the men who loved her. When Mayon is said to errupt, this is Patuga challenging Pangaroon. But when Mayon is calm, Pangaroon is embracing her. The tears of Pangaroon are shed as a rain at the times in his grief.
