B. SYMBOLISM

1. THE CROCODILES: Crocodiles or “buwaya” don’t always symbolize

corrupt politicians in the past. During Spaniards Era, crocodiles were
even believed to be administrators of divine justice, they believed that
the spirits of their deities or ancestors resided in crocodiles, so people
would not harm them even after attacks on humans and domestic
animals. In some stories, when Spaniards arrived to the place now
called “Buayahon”,they flooded with huge numbers of Buwaya, since
then they named the place Buayahon for that reason.
