Study Notes

The Council of Gods and the Flood

Maklium-sa-t'wan called a council of gods, deciding to destroy the home of Alunsina and her husband Halawod by flood.
Suklang Malayon, Alunsina's sister, warned the couple of the impending flood, allowing them to seek refuge on higher ground.
After the flood, the couple settled near the Halawod River in secrecy and later had triplet sons: Labaw Donggon, Humadapnon, and Dumalapdap.

Birth and Transformation of the Triplets

Alunsina performed rites with high priest Bungot-Banwa to ensure her triplets' health.
A cold wind during the ritual transformed the triplets into strong and handsome young men.

Labaw Donggon's Quest

Upon adulthood, Labaw Donggon sought a wife, aiming to marry the beautiful Angoy Ginbitinan of Handug.
He acquired magical items for his journey and built a grand house upon marrying Angoy Ginbitinan.
Labaw Donggon later went on quests to the Underworld to marry Anggoy Doronoon and the Eastern Sky to claim Malitong Yawa, the wife of Saragnayan.

Battle with Saragnayan

A protracted duel ensued between Labaw Donggon and Saragnayan, lasting several years.
Labaw Donggon's attempts to defeat Saragnayan involved holding him underwater and other strenuous methods but ultimately failed, leading to his imprisonment beneath Saragnayan's pigpen.

Sons of Labaw Donggon

Labaw Donggon's sons, Aso Mangga and Buyung Baranugon, sought to free their father.
They defeated Saragnayan's underworld minions and discovered Saragnayan's mortal secret linked to a boar.
After killing the boar and rendering Saragnayan mortal, Buyung Baranugon killed him, leading to Labaw Donggon's eventual rescue.

Angered by Labaw Donggon's imprisonment, Humadapnon vowed revenge against Saragnayan's kin.
He enlisted Buyong Matanayon for his journey, ultimately confronting and defeating Piganun to rescue his ally.
Humadapnon married Burigadang Pada Sinaklang Bulawan, the Goddess of Wealth and Greed, after defeating a rival suitor.

Dumalapdap’s Adventure

Dumalapdap embarked on a quest to marry Lubay-Lubyok Hanginun si Mahuyokhuyokon, facing and defeating a two-headed monster, Balanakon.

Humadapnon's Further Adventures

In search of Nagmalitong Yawa, Humadapnon faced challenges aided by spirit friends, including imprisonment on an enchanting island.
After marrying Nagmalitong Yawa, a series of events led to tragic misunderstandings and eventual remorse from Humadapnon.

Conflict and Resolution

Humadapnon's misunderstanding resulted in the death of his wife, leading him on a journey to resurrect her.
With the help of his sister's powers, both Humadapnon and Amarotha (Alunsina's resurrected son) claimed a part of Nagmalitong Yawa, bringing her back to life in a unique manner.
