DISCUSSION:

A popular Philippine epic is the Ilocano Lam-ang. The hero Lam-ang dreams that his father is
being killed by the Igorot, the traditional enemies of the Ilocano, and awakes to slaughter a group
of Igorot. "The Life of Lam-ang") is an epic poem of the Ilocano people from the Ilocos region of
the Philippines influenced from the Indian Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharta. Recited and
written in the original Ilocano, the poem is believed to be a composite work of various poets who
passed it on through the generations, and was first transcribed around 1640 by a blind Ilocano
bard named Pedro Bucaneg. Biag ni Lam-ang is pre-Hispanic epic poem of the Ilocano people of
the Philippines.

The theme of the epic revolves around the bravery and courage of the main character portrayed
by Lam-ang, who was gifted with speech as early as his day of birth, who embarked on a series of
adventures which culminated in his heroic death and subsequent resurrection. This series of
adventures started with his search for his lost father who was murdered by the head-hunting
Igorots in the Igorot country. While on his way, he met a certain Sumarang, whose name
connotes obstruction, who tried to dissuade him from proceeding and who taunted him into a
fight. The fight that ensued proved fatal to Sumarang as he was blown “three kingdoms” away
with a spear pierced through his stomach. This encounter led to another when he met a nine-
headed serpent who, like Sumarang earlier tried to dissuade him from going any further. The
serpent having been ignored challenged him into a fight which cost the serpent its heads. Lam-
ang went on until he found it necessary to rest and take a short nap. While asleep, he dreamed of
his father’s head being an object of festivities among the Igorots. He immediately arose and
continued his journey until he found the Igorots indeed feasting over his father’s head.
