THE SPIRIT OF MT. BULUSAN: THE LEGEND OF SAN BERNARDINO STRAITH

 In Sorsogon's embrace, a tale unfolds,

Of San Bernardino, as history holds.

A spirit mighty, Mt. Bulusan's reign,

Land and people bound by an unseen chain.

Prosperity flowed, contentment in the air,

Under the spirit's rule, none dared to despair.

In a village close, a maiden fair,

Captured the spirit's heart, a love affair.

Abundance showered, gifts unseen,

To win her love, the spirit keen.

But the maiden's heart remained steadfast,

Chosen another, love meant to last.

Enraged, the spirit's love spurned,

Vengeance unleashed, the land mourned.

A scourge upon them, hunger and death,

Forest emptied, unproductive breath.

A monstrous creature, four wings spread,

Half-bird, half-beast, overhead it tread.

Believed to be the spirit, seeking his due,

A bride denied, revenge in its view.

Panic swept the villages, fear took hold,

Except for one, the favored suitor bold.

He stalked the creature, arrows in flight,

Blood spilled, a fatal, transformative sight.

Fleeing to the open sea, its demise drew near,

Cries echoed, death's grip, it could not clear.

Into the ocean, a head and body transformed,

Two islands emerged, where the spirit mourned.

The Strait of San Bernardino, a perilous space,

Between Samar and Sorsogon, dangers embrace.

Engkantado waters, enchanted allure,

The old folks warn, human lives endure.

Yearly, they say, lives are exacted,

In the narrow sea, where spirits, enacted.

The legend lives, in whispers, it's told,

Of Mt. Bulusan's spirit, and love turned cold.

PULO NG MATUNGKAD, ANG TINAGONG DAGAT AT HIGANTENG BANGUS

Noong lumang panahon kung saan ang mga poon at diwata ay kasamang namumuhay ng mga tao. Isang pulutong ng maliit na kaharian na tinatawag na Ibalong ay maynaniirahang isangbinatang mangigisda. Kahit mahirap ang binata at may dugong alipin siya naman ay Mabait, magalang at masiyahin at may kaayaayang anyo:Matikas at matipuno, napakaganda ng pagkayumaging kulay. Siya ay kinagigiliwan ng kanyang mga nakakasalamuha at mga kasama.  Isang araw habang nangingisda may nahuli ang binata at mga kasamahan nito sa lambat. Laking gulat ng lahat ng mangingisda ng makitang may isang Magindara/Sirena sa lambat. Napakagandang nilalang na kalahating babae at kalahating isda, maganda ngunit mapanganib. Sisibatin na sana ng mga mangigisda ang Magindara ng biglang tumalon sa tubig ang binata at pinakawalan ang magandang nilalang.

Lumipas ang mga araw at masagana ang huli ng mga mangingisda, ngunit isang araw bigla nalamang  tumahimik at nagdilim ang paligid. Isang malakas at malaking bagyo ang biglang humalik sa dagat kung saan ang pulutong ng mangigisda ay naroon. Lahat ng mga bangka ay tangay ng malakas na hanging dulot ng bagyo. Ang mga mangingisda ay nagsipaghulog sa nagngangalit na karagatan. Natakot ang binata at nag dasal sa mga poon at diwata. Siya rin ay nalaglag sa dagat. Nagimbal ang binata sa kanyang nakita, nakakapangilabot, nakita niyang kinakain ng mga Magindara ang mga kapwa niya mangingisda. Natakot ang binata di lang  para sa kanyang buhay, ngunit maging para sa kanyang kaluluwa (naniniwala ang mga lumang tao ng Ibalong na ang kalag o kaluluwa ng isang tao, kapag nalunod sa dagat ay habang panahon mabibilango sa dagat). Isang Magindara ang sumogod sa binata. Nang imulat ng binata sya na ay nasa pangpang at ang magandang magindara ay lumalangoy ng palayo sakanya.

Dahil alam ng binata na ang Magindara ang nagligtas sakanyang buhay inabangan nya ito,at ng kanyang masumpungan ay madalas na silang magkita sa tagung bahagi ng baybayin. Nagkamabutihan ang makisig na binata at ang magandang magindara

Ang binata lamang ang nakaligtas sa malakas na bagyo, lahat ng mga kasama nyang mangingisda ng araw na iyon ay hindi nang nakauwi ng buhay.Pagkaraan din ng bagyo ay lagi ng masagana at nakakahuli ng mabilis at marami ang binata. Kadalasan din ay may mga kabibeng may hiyas na napapadpad sa kanyang lambat. Dahil dito unti unti nang umaangat ang estado sa buhay ng makisig na binata. Dahil rin dito madami ang naiingit sa kanyang mga natatamasang biyaya.

ANG ALAMAT NG MAINIT NA BUKAL NG TIWI

ANG MGA KAMPON NI PANGINOONG ASWANG

 Si Asuang ang diwata o diyos ng kasamaan at kaguluhan ng sinaunang Ibalong. 

Siya ang panginoon ng lahat ng mga halimaw at karaniwang aswang sa Ibalong, mula sa mga lumilipad na halimaw hangang sa mga aswang ng dagat.

Sinasabi na si Asuang ay kaakitakit na lalaki,may mahabang buhok, matangkad at matipuno ang pangangatawan. Ngunit ibinubunyag ng liwanag ng bwan ang tunay nitong anyo na nakakapangilabot na halimaw, may sungay, pangil at paa ng malaking kabing,kagaya sa modermong imahe ng demonyo.

Ayon sa alamat si Asuang ay naninirahan sa bulkan ng Malinao sa Bikol. Siya rin ang ama ng maraming kalating halimaw sa Ibalong, pinakakilala sa kanyang mga anak ay si Oryol na kalahating magandang dilag, kalahating higanteng ahas. Si Oryol ay may kapangyarihang mangakit at gawing sunod sunuran ang sinuma (babae,lalaki,binabayi,hayop,halimaw) makakarining ng kanyang malamyos at magandang tinig. Sunod ay ang mabait na si Magindara, na ang kalahati ng katawan ay puntot ng makulay na isda. Ang magandang tinig ni Magindara ay maykakayanang tumawag ulan at bagyo o magpahupa nito.

Si Asuang ay kinakatakutan sa Ibalong bilang panginoon ng kaguluhan at kasamaan. Pinaniniwalaang tinangka nitong nakawin ang apoy ni Gugurang. Ang apoy ni Gugurang ay nagbibigay kakayanan sa sinuman na buhayin ang mga bulkan at sunugin ang lahat ng bagay.Ngunit si Asuang ay nabigo pagkat mas makapangyarihan si Gugurang.

SI OKOT

  Si Okot ang diwata ng kagubatan, at ng mga ibon. Siya rin ang panginoon ng pangangaso sa sinaunang Ibalong o ang Sinaunang lupain ng Bikol. Siya ay sinasamba noon ng mga taga ibalong. Sinasabing si Okot ay matangkad at matipuno ang pangangatawan. Kayumangi ang balat. Si Okot ay napapalamutian ng mga dahon, siya ay may pana at palaso. Siya rin ay may mahiwagang sinturon na habi sa ginto, ang kanyang sinturon ay sisidlan ng mga pambihirang buto na may kakayanang magpagaling ng ano pamang karamdaman. Ang diyos na si Okot ay pinaniniwalaang sumisipol o humuhuni gaya ng ibon si Okot tuwing siya ay paparating. Sa ibang kwento ay nagpapakita bilang malaking puno ng balete o dalakit si Okot sa mga nanampalataya.

OKOT

Nang dumating ang mga mananakop na Kastila sa Ibalong at nalaman nila ang pag samba ng mga ''vagamundo'' sa diwata, Ang matinpuno at matayog na si Okot ay ginawang katatawanan ng mga kastila. Sinabi ng mga kastila na si Okot ay pandak, at isang duwende. Iniba ng mga kastila ang pananaw ng mga tao kay Okot.

Linti versus Apolaki

The mountain monster terrorized Ibalong, they asked Gugurang for his help and he sent his enforcer Linti. Linti soared above the moutain in search for the mountain monster and saw the golden shinning mountain monster Apolaki is one of the mythical monsters in Ibalong. One of the strongest mountain beast in Ibalong. The golden mountain monster. It stands in two feet and shaped like a man but has a diadem of gold that shines bright like the sun. It is said that the Apolaki is the fierce monster of the forest that is immune to fire. The warriors of Ibalong tired to burn the forest down but  it had no effect on the Apolaki.

As a loyal vassal of Gugurang, Linti is tasked with enforcing divine justice and punishing evildoers. His radiant appearance conceals the potent force he wields, making him an essential instrument of Gugurang's will.

Stout standing atop a cloud with fierce and aggressive facial expressions, Dologdog is the embodiment of thunder and the brother of Linti. Like his sibling, Dologdog serves as a vassal of Gugurang, reinforcing the divine order. Together, Linti and Dologdog form a formidable duo, executing Gugurang's commands and defending against any threat to the cosmic balance.

LINTI, DALOGDOG AND ASUANG

The tale begins with the harmonious existence of Gugurang and Asuang, residing in separate mountains and maintaining a delicate balance between good and evil. However, Asuang's envy and ambition drive him to seek equality with Gugurang by attempting to acquire the sacred fire that symbolizes Gugurang's supremacy.

Linti and Dologdog are dispatched by Gugurang to confront Mount Malinao, Asuang's abode, as part of a divine intervention. Their mission is to thwart Asuang's machinations and protect the sacred fire from falling into the hands of the malevolent deity. The clash of forces unfolds in a spectacular display of lightning and thunder, illustrating the divine wrath against Asuang's insidious intentions.

The Audacious Heist and Divine Retribution:

Despite the precautions taken by Gugurang to guard the sacred fire, Asuang employs cunning tactics to overcome the divine protectors. Through bribery and deception, Asuang manages to steal the fire, setting off a catastrophic chain of events that threatens to engulf the world in chaos.

The ensuing pursuit between Gugurang and Asuang sees the intervention of Linti and Dologdog, as they unleash their formidable powers to aid Gugurang in reclaiming the stolen fire. The divine brothers play a crucial role in the ultimate confrontation, ensuring that Asuang's attempt to plunge the world into darkness is thwarted.

LINTI AND DALOGDOG AGAINTS THE APOLAKI

The mountain monster wreaked havoc in Ibalong, prompting them to seek assistance from Gugurang. In response, Gugurang sent Linti, the god of lightning, as his enforcer. Linti flew above the mountain to locate the monster and discovered the golden, shining Apolaki, one of Ibalong's mythical creatures and one of the mightiest mountain beasts.

Apolaki, with its golden appearance, stood on two feet and resembled a man, adorned with a radiant gold diadem that gleamed like the sun. Known as a formidable forest monster, Apolaki was said to be immune to fire. Despite the warriors' attempts to burn the forest down, Apolaki remained unaffected. The creature's strength even proved challenging for the lightning god Linti.

In a collaborative effort between Linti and Dalogdog, they successfully defeated the mountain monster and sealed it inside the mountain, putting an end to its reign of terror in Ibalong.

Divine Justice and the Transformative Consequences:

In a display of divine justice, Gugurang not only reclaims the stolen fire but also punishes the guards who succumbed to Asuang's temptations. As a final act of retribution, Gugurang commands Linti and Dologdog to strike Mount Malinao with thunder and lightning, cleaving the mountain in half.

The aftermath reveals a transformed landscape, with Mount Malinao reduced to half its original size. The people, initially believing Asuang to be vanquished, soon realize that his influence continues to wreak havoc among them. However, the enterprising few manage to retain embers from the conflagration, symbolizing the enduring spark of hope amidst the divine conflict.

Linti

Dologdog

The myth of Linti and Dologdog in the battle against Asuang stands as a testament to the intricate interplay of divine forces, morality, and cosmic justice in Bicolano mythology. These lesser gods, embodiments of lightning and thunder, become indispensable instruments in Gugurang's quest to maintain order and thwart the ambitions of the malevolent Asuang. As the landscape is reshaped and the people grapple with the consequences, the enduring legacy of this myth reflects the timeless struggle between good and evil, and the role of divine enforcers in preserving the delicate balance of the cosmos.

Anito, referring to ancestor spirits, nature spirits, and deities (diwata), held a significant place in the hearts and minds of the people. This essay delves into the reverence and veneration accorded to Anito, particularly in old Ibalong, highlighting the powerful connection between the people and these divine entities.

The Diwata's Legacy:

Among the Anito, the diwata stood as forgotten paragons of beauty and strength. Despite their once-prominent role in the lives of the people, the worship of diwata gradually waned over time. The advent of colonial influences introduced new religious practices, relegating the diwata to the peripheries of cultural memory. Saints replaced the diwata in the hearts of the people, and their legacy faded, obscured by the passage of time.

Anito, as ancestral spirits, nature deities, and powerful diwata, formed an integral part of the spiritual landscape in precolonial Philippines, including old Ibalong. The tangible representations of these divine entities through Tagno and Lagdong served as conduits for prayers and offerings, fostering a deep connection between the earthly realm and the spiritual. The active participation of Anito in the affairs of men, influencing daily life and community well-being, underscores their significance in the cultural and spiritual heritage of the Philippines. Despite the gradual fading of their worship, the legacy of the Anito endures as a testament to a time when the divine and earthly realms were intricately intertwined.
