Siužetinės Linijos Tekstas
- Legend has it that a sweet, beautiful woman named Daragang Magayon, or Lady Beautiful, from a ruling tribal family of Bicol fell in love with a prince called Panganoron. The fruits of their love bore the most beautiful sight.
- Magayon was the only daughter of chief Makusog of the Rawis people. Her astounding beauty and delicate nature had all the young men of the land vying for her affections. Even Pagtuga, a handsome and powerful chief of the Iniga people, who showered her with attention and gifts, didn’t excite young Magayon. She declined his advances time and time again.
- Magayon was bathing in theYawa River one day when she slipped and fell into deeper waters. As she struggled for her own life, Panganoron, from the Tagalog region, spotted her from afar and dashed to save her. Bonded by this experience, the two became friends, and then lovers soon after. Panganoron asked for Makusog’s blessing to propose. Magayon, full of love and hope, accepted.
- Upon learning about Panganoron and Magayon’s engagement, Pagtuga was enraged. He captured Magayon’s father and held him hostage, demanding that she marry Pagtuga instead. In an effort to save his bride and Makusog, Panganoron and his warriors led a war against Pagtuga. After a brutal and bloody battle, Panganoron defeated his rival and killed Pagtuga.
- Magayon, who watched the spectacle in fear, ran into her lover’s arms for a kiss. As they embraced, one of Pagtuga’s warriors shot a final arrow into the heart of Panganoron, killing him instantly. In a Shakespearean twist, Magayon thrust a knife from Panganoron’s belt into her own heart, calling out his name in her last words.
- To honor their love and their legacy, Makusog buried the young couple together. From their grave, a beautiful mountain grew, with fire inside. The volcano is as beautiful as Daragang Magayon, its namesake, and it’s said that the surrounding clouds are Panganoron.
