LAM-ANG, a Legendary Hero Lam-ang was the only child of the beautiful Namungan. His father was a very brave adventurer. He had many amulets. But Lam-ang did not see his father. The latter had gone to the land of Igorots. He did this bimonthly but last time, he did not returned. He left behind his blessings for his unborn child and his love for his wife, Namungan. He also left a golden bolo, nine chains and a snow-white rooster – all for his unborn child. Lam-ang was a special and extraordinary infant. When he was born he could talk. When he was a little older, he learned to speak the language of the flowers, the birds and the beast. Therefore, he was not only bilingual but multilingual as well. He visited the forest biweekly or maybe more often. He played with the wild boar and the deer. He was full of strength and courage. The talahib made way for him and bowed whenever he passed by. When the sun shone overhead, the anahaw fanned him. How different he really was! However, Lam-ang just like any child longed to see his father. One day, he talked with his mother. “Tell me the trught, Mother, where is my father?” Namungan could not tell Lam-ang that his father was dead. “Your father went to the land of the Igorots and has not returned sinde,” the mother answered. Lam-ang decided to look for his father. Since Namungan could not stop his son, she gave the lad his father’s sword and amulets. Lam-ang felt with his blessings as she said, “May the Great One be with you in your journey.” Lam-ang started off, stopping only for a drink at the wayside stream. At nightfall, he took shelter under the balete tree. Because he was too exhausted, he fell into a deep sleep. He had a bad dream. He saw a giant who told him what happened to his father. It was still dark when Lam-ang woke up. He quickly picked up his sword and went toward the direction, the giant had told him. He reached Kangisitan with the stars lighting his way. There he saw Igorots holding his slain father in triumphant mood. They danced and chanted merrily. “What has my father done to you to deserve this?” Lam-ang asked angrily. “Your father broke the law of our tribe – that;s why we punished him,” replied the Igorots. Lam-ang could not control his anger anymore. Like a dragon flapping its wings up and down, he made a terrible cray that sounded like a thunder. This angered the Igorots so they attacked him with their spears and arrows. These did not hurt Lam-ang at all. When the Igorots had use up all their weapons, Lam-ang thrust his sword into the earth and whispered a mysterious prayer. Soon, after, he seized the sword and struck left ad right until the ground was colored red with blood of fallen enemies. 2. a. Analysis and Discussion 1. Who were Lam-ang’s parents? 2.
