Review 1
In the beginning there lived one man and o ne w o man, To g lai and
Toglibon. Their
À
rst children were a boy and a girl. When they w ere old
eno ugh, the bo y and the girl w ent far away across the waters seeking a
good place to live. Nothing more was heard of them until their children, the
Spaniards and Americans, came back. After the
À
rst boy and girl left, other children were born to the couple; but
they all remained at Cibolan on Mount Apo with their parents, until Toglai and
Toglibon died and became spirits. Soon after that there came a great drought
which lasted for three years. All the waters dried up, so that there were no
rivers, and no plants could live.
“ Surely,” said the people, “ Manama is p unishing us, and w e must g o
elsewhere to
À
nd food and a place to dwell in.”
So they started out. Two went in the direction of the sunset, carrying
with them stones from Cibolan River. A fter a long journey they reached a
place where there were broad
À
elds of cogon grass and an abundance of water,
and there they made their home. Their children still live in that place called
Magindanau, because of the stones which the couple carried when they
left Cibolan. Tw o c hild ren o f To g lai and
Toglibon went to the south, seeking a home, and they carried with them
women’s baskets baraan. When they found a good spot, they settled down.
Their descendants, still dwelling there, are called Baraan or Bilaan, because of
the women’s baskets.
So two by two the children of the
À
rst couple left the land of their birth. In the place where each settled a new
people developed, and thus it came about that all the tribes in the world
received their names from things that the people carried out of Cibolan, or
from the places where they settled.
All the children left Mount Apo except two a boy and a girl. Hunger
and thirst had made them too weak to travel. One day when they were about
to die the boy crawled out to the
À
eld to see if there w as one living thing,
and to his surprise he found a stalk of sugarcane growing lustily. He eagerly
cut it, and enough water came out to refresh him and his sister until the rains
came. Because of this, their children are called Bagobo.
