A long ago in a place called Ibalon, there lived a beautiful maiden.

Her name was Daragang Magayon(the


beautiful one). She was the daugther of Makusog(the strong one), chief of the tribe.

One day Daragang Magayon strolled down near the river. While crossing the river, she stumbled down on
a rock and fell quickly in the water. She was swiftly swept down the stream by the current.

"Help me!, Help me!" she cried. Fortunately her cries was heard by Panganoron (the proud one) and his
body guard Amihan (the cold one). Pangaronon jumped into the river and saved Daragang Magayon.

"Thank you for risking your life to save me", she cried. "How can I repay you? My father is the chief of
our tribe. Surely, he will reward your heroism whatever it takes."

Her beauty immediately captivated Panganoron. He realized that he finally met the perfect woman for
him. At the same time, Daragang Magayon was attracted to him.

Panganoron asked Makusog's permission to marry Daragang Magayon. But makusog could not permit
them to marry. Tribal law forbade marriage outside of the clan. As tribe leader he had to enforce the law.
Yet, as a father, he wanted to make his daughter happy.

Meanwhile, Patuga (the eruptive one) learned about Panganoron's intention. Patuga was the most ardent
suitor of Daragang Magayon. For years he had been convincing her to marry him, but to no avail.

One night, Pagtuga and his cohorts kidnapped Makusog. He then sent a message to Daragang Magayon,
threatening that her father would be killed if she refused to marry him. Left with no other choice, she
agreed—only then did Pagtuga release Makusog. Soon after, the wedding of Pagtuga and Daragang
Magayon took place.

However, in the middle of the celebration, pandemonium broke out as Panganoron and his warriors
arrived. A fierce battle erupted between the two tribes. In just a few moments, Panganoron delivered a
fatal blow to Pagtuga. But during the chaos, a poisoned arrow—fired from an unknown direction—struck
Daragang Magayon in the chest.

Panganoron rushed to help Daragang Magayon, but as he kneeled beside her dying body, an enemy
soldier suddenly struck and cut off his head.

After the battle, Daragang Magayon was buried, and people across the land mourned her death. A
mountain mysteriously rose from the spot where she was laid to rest. That mountain is now known as
Mayon Volcano.

It is said that even in death, Magayon is still surrounded by the two men who loved her. When Mayon
erupts, it is believed that Pagtuga is challenging Panganoron to win her back. But when the volcano is
calm, it means Panganoron is embracing Magayon. The rain is said to be Panganoron’s tears of
sorrow.

Even today, many people are touched by the tragic love story behind the legend of Mayon Volcano.
