“Someone is shouting,” said Aliguyon, son of Amtalao.Straight away he ran to the house yard of Dayagan,

He looked down at the stone yard of the granary of Dayagan.

KUDAMAN (PALAWAN)

He quickly took up a mallet for the agung, the great gong.This was made of pure gold, and shone on another world...

Photo by Nicole Revel

He pounded over and over again on the great gong.

Truly, it was as though

it spoke.

Seven times did the

sound of the metal

travel around the

world.

And then again for a

second round.
