  • We shall be married in seven days.
  • And so Daragang Magayon was brought before Pagtuga. Told that Makusog would be put to death if she refused to be Pagtuga’s bride, she tearfully consented to marry him. He ordered his people to prepare for a wedding. Learning of this sudden turn of events, Panganoron abandoned his own wedding preparations and hastily returned to Rawis with his brave warriors. In the battle, that ensued, Panganoron slew Pagtuga.
  • But while Magayon was rushing joyously to meet herbeloved, a stray arrow caught her at the back.
  •  As Panganoron held the dying maiden in his arms, he was struck dead by a spear hurled by Linog, Pagtuga’s hench man. Seeing this, Makusog rush at Linog and killed him with his minasbad.
  • Thus, that would have been a joyful occation became a day of mourning as the people burried their dead. Rajah Makusog himself dug the grave where he tenderly laid the bodies of the lovers. Days after, the people saw the grave rise. As it grew higher, eventually assuming the form of a peerless cone, it was attended by muffled rumblings and quakes. Then it spewed out red-hot boulders from its crater. Even now, it does so from time to time. Old folks explain the phenomenon as Pagtuga aided by Linog, agitating the volcano to retrieve his gifts, which, following an ancient custom, where burried with Magayon.
  • On certain days, when the tip of the volcano is shrouded in mist and cloud, the old folks say that Panganoron is kissing Magayon. When afterwards rain trickles down the mountainslopes, they say that the rain drops are Panganorons tears as he cries over his lost love.
  • The volcano’s name has been shortened to Mayon. It’s majestic shape lords over the lovely countryside of Albay.
