In the golden days, there lived in ibalon a lovely maiden named Daragang magayon. Daragang magayon's
beauty attracted many suitors from different tribes. Among them was the haughty pagtuga, the great
hunter and the powerful chieftain from iriga who courted her by lavishing her father with fabulous gifts.
But Daragang magayon did not love pagtuga. She had given her heat to panganoron, the brave son of
raja karilaya of the far-off tagalog region.

He had saved her from death in the river one morning. He happened to be passing by and when he
heard thr maidens frantic cry for help, he plunged into the river. In an instant, he was at her side. Then,
he tenderly carried the frightened girl to dry land.

Daragang magayon shyly admitted that she also fallen inlove with him. This gave the youth courage to
show datu makusog that he is serious to his daughter. And makusog gave the couple his blessing.
Daragang magayon was brought before pagtuga. Makusog would to be put to death if daragang magayon
refused to be pagtugas bride. Then they got married seven days after.

Panganoron abandoned his own wedding preparation and hastily returned to rawis with his brave
warriors. In the battle panganoron slew pagtuga. But while magayon was rushing joyously to meet her
beloved, a stray arrow caught her at the back. As panganoron held the dying maidem in his arms, he was
struck dead by a spear hurled by linog, pagtugas henchmen. Seeing this, makusog rushed at linog and
killed him with his minasbad.

A joyful occasion became a day of mourning as the people buried their dead. Makuaog himself dug the
grave where he tenderly laid the bodies of the lovers. Days after, people saw the grave rise. As it grew
higher, muffled rumblings ang quakea attended it. Then it spewed at red-hot boulders from its crater,
even know, it does so from time to time.
Theme

“ETERNAL or UNDYING LOVE”.

Basically its just a love that never ends. Their love is so powerful that nothing in the world can stop the
strong feelings that they have for each other. They had shown that their love so strong and it's still there
even after death. Even their love did not have the chance to grow and prosper and make a happy ending.

Visual elements

Animated cartoon was used in this film. It was colorful and gloomy. I think they use animated cartoon to
easily understand by the viewers.

Conclusion

Old folks explain the phenomenon as pagtuga, aided by linog, agitating the volcano to retrieve his gifts,
which, following ancient custom, were buried with magayon. On certain days, when the tip is covered
with clouds, the old folk says that ulap is kissing magayon. When afterwards rain tickles caressingly down
the gentle slopes of the mountain, they insist that it is the tears of ulap.
