Lam-ang, one of the local- mythical hero in our country, is known for his extraordinary being. Best example that he really is one, is he's undefyingly strong at a young age and was the one to choose his own name. His father, Don Juan, went to a battle but never came back.Then, his adventure began. At the age of barely nine months he went to search for his father in the place where he disappeared, in the highlands. Knowing that he is blessed, her good mother, Namongan, allowed him to go.
Lam-ang reached the place, he was enraged upon seeing his father’s head on top of a bamboo pole that was stuck in the ground, a sign of great insult and weakness on his part, and which was a scene that he had dreamed before reaching the place. Lam-ang then demanded to know the reason why did that happen to his father but he did not receive an answer, instead he was demanded by the chieftain of the village to go or else he would receive the same faith like his father. Lam-ang bravely fought back with the chieftain and its tribesmen. Lam-ang won the fight with less effort, proving that he is indeed a pefection and that serves as his revenge for his father.
Lam-ang was on his way home he passed by a river and then decided to have a dip. The dirt from his body caused the death of fishes, crabs, shrimps in the river.this may show the humor in the story, but the attempt of Lam-ang to pour water into his body is a sign of purification, redemption and growth. She was gladly attended by some of the women who saw him. Lam-ang upon reaching home decided to court his love interest, Ines. Despite his mother’s disapproval he followed his heart and set again another journey for her love which shows the red side of his personality;passionate and ready to sacrifice.
His adventures had never been that easy. He faced one of Ines’ suitor and monsters as challenges on his fight. But he won the battles with ease. Upon reaching the place, Lam-ang drew the attention of many and impressed Ines. He was helped by his magical pets: a rooster, a hen and a dog. Lam-ang’s rooster flapped its wings and a house toppled. This amazed everybody, especially Ines. Then, Lam-ang’s dog barked and the house aroused. Being invited in the lunch of the family of Ines, Lam-ang impressed Ines’ parents with his greatness and upon returning, he gave to the family two golden ships, a symbol of wealth.
Their wedding was held with a lot of feastings. However, Lam-ang’s story never ended there. He was sent to catch a gigantic shell but unfortunately she was swallowed by a shark, which he had earlier premonitioned. Her bones were recovered and Lam-ang was resurrected with the help of his magical pets. Ines was ordered by the rooster to wrap the bones with her tapis while the hen flaps its wings and the dog growling. In an instant, Lam-ang happily rejoined his wife.
