A long time ago, there was a rich land called Ibalong. The hero Baltog came to this land whenmany monsters were still roaming in its very dark forest.
Baltog: I will stay here and cultivate this land. I will plant them with gabi.
One night, a monstrous wild boar known as Tandayag, saw these fields and destroyed the crops.
Baltog: who destroyed my fields and crops?
Man 1: maybe the wild boar known as Tandayag.
Baltog: where can I find that wild boar?
Man 2: In the forest!!
Upon knowing this, Baltog decided to look for this wild boar, with all his courage and patience. At last, as soon as he saw it, he fearlessly wrestled and killed it.
After this fight, Baltog went home, carrying the Tandayag’s broken bones. He hung it on a talisay tree in front of his house. The people celebrated to his victory and the boar became an attraction to everyone.
The second hero to Ibalong was Handyong. Together with his men, he had to fight thousands of battles and defeat the monster. The one-eyed monster with three necks, the Triburon, the wild carabaos and Sarimao were the monters killed by Handyong. But among these enemies , the Oryol was the hardest to kill.
Handyong: I will defeat that serpent even though I am alone.
After days and nights of search.
Oryol: I admire your bravery and gallantry. Because of that I will help you to conquer the monsters.
Handyong: Thank you Oryol. This will help me in restoring peace to the entire Ibalong.
When Handyong return to Ibalong, he build a town in Ligmaan.
Handyong: Under my rule, all of the people will be treated equally.
Man 3: Chief Handyong, we will name this rice in your honor.
Handyong: Thank you.
Through his good example, his people became inspired and came up with their own inventions.
Kimantong: I invented plow, harrow, and some farming tolls for all of you!
Hablom: I invented the stove, cooking pot, earthen jar and kitchen utensils for all of you!
Sural: I invented syllabary for all of you, for us to be able to write on a marble rock!
People: (applause) This is truly the golden age of Ibalon.
Then suddenly, there came a big flood caused by Unos. Many disasters came. Because of this Ibalong was ruined. Then appeared the giant Rabot, half-man, half-beast, with awesome and terrifying powers.
Man 1: Bantong, please help us!
Man 2: We are very afraid of the Rabot!
Bantong: Ok, I will make a plan for us to defeat the Rabot.
Bantong, the third hero, observed the Rabot and learned that the Rabot loved to sleep during the day and stayed awake at night. So he waited. When Rabot was sleeping, Bantong cut the giant into two and the Rabot died. So Ibalongwas at peace once more.
