Lam-ang was able to speak right away after he was born because he is
unique and possesses extraordinary powers and abilities. He is not just an
ordina child who follows the usual growth of a human. Lam-ang is a kind of
creature who is brave and strong even at a young age. He has abilities that
no one has. Also, Lam-ang is destined to be someone who can protect his
hometown or tribe from the colonizers.

dream, he saw how his father was mercilessly killed by a group of Igorots. And he was seething
with anger when he woke up.

Lam-ang wants the attention of Ines Kannoyan because he admires her

and he wants to court her. He loves Innes and willing to prove to her

Yes, if I am Lam-ang, I would do the same thing because I want to

protect my hometown and I want to save my father. I will nicely use the

I’m willing to do everything for her.

What is your opinion on the custom of the Ilocanos wherein the groom has to
dive into the river after his wedding?  Explain your opinion? (10 pts.)

In my opinion, it’s alright because we should respect their tradition, knowing

that it was their way to discover if the boy is willing to sacrifice and dwell on
any challenge to show his love to her wife. It might be dangerous but it’s
important to be followed since it is from their ancestor’s beliefs.
