25. . Olaging – Story of Agyu – Bukidnon
 Agyu and his clan lived in Lambaguhan before
the Spaniards came.They forcely baptized all the
people. Agyu and the his brother Lona beacame
sacristan. One time they were commanded to get 2
piculs of wax. Before the sun rises they went to the
forest.They faced challenges like climbing the
mountain,crossing the river and passing through the
ravine just to get the beeswax. When the priest
measured what they have collected,it only measured 1
picul.

26. They were given punishment of 150 whips and lashes
but then since Agyu is a loving brother he got all the
punshment instead. They went to Palaopao which is a
far place from where the Spaniards conquered
already.Long before Agyu did not possess any sense of
immortality even that he somehow can do
unexplainable things. Mongan was the wife of Agyus
brother who was separated from the clan because of
her leprosy. She have the task of hitting the salimbing
or the small gong.One time the diwta got irritated
and asked her to chew the inapugan or bettel nut and
the saliva from it will be put all over her body. She
was then cured and the diwata told her to give the
leftover to the other members of the

27. clan.That was the first food they had to eat to be able to
go the heaven alive. Pamolao which was thr tribe lead
asked them to river Mulita to catch the maya maya
which was a big fish.The third food is the
makadingding.It was a giant pig that they had to eat
also.They cut the meat and divded it into the
members of the clan.The food must be enough for
them. There shouldn't be an excess portion or else
there is an intruder. A young boy came out from
hiding.Pamolao told him that he can't come with
them because he is still young. They were able to eat
all the foods they needed. Salimbaw came out from
heaven.It is a vessel that they will ride on to. Pugak
who was Agyu's nephew was defacating that time that
he was left on land.

28. His feces became Mt.kalayo. When they were in heaven
one of the Gods fell in love with Tagyakuwa who is
Agyu's wife. He even asked asked an exchanged to a
diwta but then Agyu refused because he did not like
the fact that diwatas do not have kilay.Agyu has with
him his amulet in heaven. He wanted to test if it will
work in there. He want to challenge a fight with
them. They were sent back to land because of their
humanly behaviour. They went to Nalandangan
which was the new place they will be living at.There
were 3 seas: betel nut, red,black. They do they merry
making in tulugan. One time when Agyu left for a
battle black datu came to his place. Tagyakuwa got
mad at him and treated him badly because he has a
lots of demands.

29. Tagyakuwa was eaten by a serpent that came from
one of black datus thing.Later on it was revealed that
the black datu is their relative that came to test
Tagyakuwas faithfulness.One time an unknown man
came from heaven. Agyu fought with him but it was
his uncle that visited him because of missing him. The
war ended to a feast.
