Panga’iwan.
43 "So she is abandoning me, my mother Dangunay ay Dangunay
o..ya, wife of Panga’iwan o..e"

61 At last she finished pounding the rice there in the
houseyard, the houseyard in Huyadan.
62 She winnowed the rice and held up the winnower up to
Indumulao ay Dumulao, o..ya, wife of Amtalao o..e
63 Right away Indumulao stretched down the bamboo tube for
carrying water in the yard, their houseyard in

64 "Oh my! Can I carry so much?" said Bugan ay Bugan o..ya
daughter of Panga’iwan o..e
65 She carried it on her shoulders and went down to the
spring by the rice fields in the village of Huyadan.

154 She went down into the yard, their houseyard in Huminang.
155 They chewed the betel, she and Indumulao ay Dumulao
o..ya wife of Amtalao o..e
156 "Who may you be who has come to our center, in our
village of Huminang?"
157 "Need you ask who Indumulao is, ay Dumulao o..ya, wife
of Amtalao? o..e
158 I came here with Bugan ay Bugan, if you please, wife of
Aliguyon:
159 I am selling her in exchange for glutinous rice here in
the village, your homesite of Huminang!"
160 "Oh, do I have to buy Bugan ay Bugan o..ya, wife of
Aliguyon?" o..e

173 He looked up at Indumulao ay Dumulao o..ya, wife of

177 He picked up a pebble and threw it inside the house in
the center, the center of Huyadan.
178 She was startled, Indumulao ay Dumulao o..ya, wife of

190 As he went down the hill he chewed his betel there on
the hill o..ya, of Humpatangan nema o..e
191 And it was just midday, the sun marking the time of day.

197 And they were seen by Aliguyon Dagdaguyon o..ya, son of

199 Aliguyon then went down the hill, leaving behind him

200 He soon reached the sandy riverside in the village of

11
201 He sat down by the sandy riverside in the village site

210 "Ay, you are very contented, Aguinaya ay Aguinaya, wife
of Aliguyon o..e
211 But there is Aliguyon dead on the sandy riverside of the
village of Halladung."
212 Aguinaya, upon hearing this, called on the handsome
braves o..ya, of Halladung, nema o..e
213 The braves went down to the sandy riverside of the
village of Halladung.
214 They carried on their back Aliguyon Dagdaguyon o..ya,

215 They brought him to the very center, the village of
Halladung.
216 " Ye handsome braves o..ya, of Halladung nema, o..e
217 Go and cut some bamboos and make the death-chair of

219 They finished making the death-chair of Aliguyon Dagdaguyon,
son of Amtalao.
220 They seated Aliguyon on it, there under the house in the
center of Halladung.
12
221 "Talk to him, ye budding beauties o..ya, of Halladung
nema o..e!"
222 Soon his death was heard in the far away and neighboring
villages,
223 And it reached the village, the hamlet of Huminang.
224 It was heard by Bugan ay Bugan o..ya, wife of Aliguyon
o..e
225 " Let me pretend to go and chew betel with the handsome
braves at the borders of Huminang."
226 She came upon a group of handsome braves o..ya, from the
village of Huminang nema, o..e
227 "Please give me a little of your lime for Bugan ay
Bugan, wife of Aliguyon."
228 There was none for her, said the handsome braves o..ya,
of Huminang, nema o..e
229 "We each have a little but we are saving it for our
journey to the village, the hamlet of Halladung."
230 Why oh why, wondered Bugan ay Bugan o..ya, wife of
Aliguyon o..e
231 "We go to see the dead Aliguyon Dagdaguyon, the son of
Amtalao."
232 "Oh, then please wait for Bugan ay Bugan o..ya, wife of
Aliguyon o..e
233 I go first to tell my mother Magappid ay Magappid. wife
of Dinug-anan."
234 Bugan then hurried by the houses of the handsome braves
at the border o..ya, of Huminang nema, o..e
235 "Ye mother Magappid ay Magappid, wife of Dinug-anan,
236 Just sit down down here while I go with the handsome
braves o..ya, of Huminang o..e
237 I go with them to see the dead Aliguyon Dagdaguyon, poor
one, son of Amtalao."
238 "That's alright," said Magappid ay Magappid o..ya, wife
of Dinug-anan o..e
239 Only, I wish you brother were here, Daulayan ay Daulayan,
son of Dinug-anan."
240 "When he comes back, just tell him to follow us on the
way thru the far away and neighboring o..ya, villages
o..e
13
241 So Bugan, rolling like a wheel, reached the handsome
braves at the border of Huminang.
242 She went along with them passing the far away and neighboring
o..ya, village nema o..e
243 In no time they reached the sandy riverside in the
village of Halladung.
244 They stepped up the ricefields in the village site
o..ya, of Halladung nema, o..e
245 Bugan was waving away from her path the handsome braves
from the border of the village of Huminang.
246 She must be the first to reach the house in the center
of Halladung!
247 Ay, she went under the house where was seated the dead
Aliguyon Dagdaguyon o..ya, son of Amtalao,
248 Then she closed her eyes and collapsed there under the
house in the center, the center of Halladung.
249 Poor Daulayan ay Daulayan o..ya, son of Dinug-anan o..e
250 He came back from his pleasure-hunting party in the far
away and neighboring villages.
251 "Where are you, Bugan ay Bugan o..ya, wife of Aliguyon?"
o..e
252 " She has gone with the handsome braves of the borders
of Huminang,
253 They go to see the dead Aliguyon Dagdaguyon o..ya, son
of Amtalao o..e"
254 "Ah least she could have waited for me" her brother
Daulayan ay Daulayan, son of Dinug-anan."
255 "She said that she wants you to follow them on the way
thru the far away and neighboring o..ya, villages o..e"
256 And so Daulayan followed them, passing thru far away and
neighboring villages.
257 "Hoping you won't be offended, ye handsome braves o..ya,
of Halladung nema, o..e"
258 "He looked down where people were gathered at the house
in the center, the center of Halladung.
259 It is really your fault, my brother Aliguyon Dagdaguyon
o..ya, son of Amtalao o..e
260 Because if only you came to the center, the village in
Huminang,
14
261 You would have known that no one took away from you
Bugan ay Bugan o..ya, wife of Aliguyon:
262 You would have taken home Bugan ay Bugan, poor one, wife
of Aliguyon."
263 Daulayan then spent the night in the village, the homesite
of Halladung.
264 He would at least be there to bury Bugan and Aliguyon
o..ya, son of Amtalao.
265 And so he stayed for a time in the center, the village
of Halladung:
266 He would have to bury Bugan and Aliguyon Dagdaguyon
o..ya, son of Amtalao o..e
267 Up and down the riverside in the village site of Halladung
268 Until they came to the tenth granary o..ya, in Halladung
nema, o..e
269 They stopped there, all the handsome braves from the
borders of Halladung.
270 They stood there wailing; then laid down some bamboo
poles
271 There on the ground under the granary in the village
site o..ya, of Halladung nema, o..e
272 Daulayan commended to the ancestors Bugan and Aliguyon,
son of Amtalao.
273 They put the corpses in bamboo reeds, rolled them and
hung the two rolled mats on the side wall of their
granary in the village site o..ya, of Halladung nema,
o..e
274 "Do not disturb/ annoy Bugan and Aliguyon Dagdaguyon,
son of Amtalao!"
275 Then it was over and they closed the door of the granary
in the village site o..ya, of Halladung nema o..e
276 So they went all back home, these handsome braves by the
borders of Huminang.
277 Daulayan also went back to their village, their hamlet
of Huminang
278 Time passed in the center o..ya, o..e Halladung nema
