SUMMARY OF BIAG NI LAM-ANG

Don Juan and his wife Namongan lived in Nalbuan, which is now part of La Union in the Philippines'
northwestern region. Lam-ang was their son's name. Don Juan traveled to the mountains before Lam-
ang was born to punish a bunch of their Igorot adversaries. Lam-ang, his son, was born while he was
away. Namongan's birth required the assistance of four persons. As soon as the baby boy was born, he
spoke out and requested that he be named Lam-ang. He also selected his godparents and inquired
about his father's whereabouts.

Lam-ang decided to go look for his father after nine months of waiting for him to return. Namongan
believed Lam-ang was up to the task, but she was disappointed to have to let him leave.

He decided to take a break from his long travels. He dozed off and dreamed of his father's head being
impaled on a stick by the Igorot. When Lam-ang found out what had happened to his father, he was
incensed. He hurried to their hamlet and slaughtered everyone save one, who he let free so he could
inform others about Lam-magnificence. ang's

He was bathed by women in the Amburayan river upon his triumphant return to Nalbuan. All of the fish
died as a result of Lam-grime ang's body's and stink.

Lam-ang has his sights set on a young woman named Ines Kannoyan. He visited her at Calanutian,
bringing his white rooster and gray dog with him. On the way, Lam-ang bumped upon another suitor of
Ines, Sumarang, whom he fought and easily vanquished.

Lam-ang arrived at Ines' house to find it surrounded by admirers all vying for her attention. He let his
rooster crow, which knocked down a neighbouring house. This drew Ines' attention. He made his dog
bark, and the crumbled house reared up again in an instant. The girl's parents were alerted and
summoned him. Lam-affection ang's was communicated through the rooster. The parents agreed to
marry their daughter if Lam-ang would give them a dowry worth twice as much as they were worth.
Lam-ang had little trouble meeting this requirement, and he and Ines married.

It was usual for a newly married guy to swim in the river in search of the rarang fish. Lam-ang, however,
dove right into the water monster Berkakan's mouth. Ines had Marcos fetch his bones, which she
wrapped in a cloth. His rooster crooned, his dog barked, and the bones began to move gently. Lam-ang
and his wife were resurrected and lived happily ever after with their white rooster and gray dog.
