    Tagalog: Buhay ni Lam-ang
    BIAG NI LAM-ANG (Life of Lam-ang) is a pre-Hispanic epic poem of the Ilocano people

    BUOD NG OF BIAG NI LAM-ANG

    (SUMMARY OF BIAG NI LAM-ANG)

    Don Juan and his wife Namongan lived in Nalbuan, now part of La Union in the northern
    part of the Philippines. They had a son named Lam-ang. Before Lam-ang was born,
    Don Juan went to the mountains in order to punish a group of their Igorot enemies.
    While he was away, his son Lam-ang was born. It took four people to help Namongan
    give birth. As soon as the baby boy popped out, he spoke and asked that he be given
    the name Lam-ang. He also chose his godparents and asked where his father was.

    After nine months of waiting for his father to return, Lam-ang decided he would go look

    Upon returning to Nalbuan in triumph, he was bathed by women in the Amburayan river.
    All the fish died because of the dirt and odor from Lam-ang’s body.

    There was a young woman named Ines Kannoyan whom Lam-ang wanted to woo.  She
    lived in Calanutian and he brought along his white rooster and gray dog to visit her. On
    the way, Lam-ang met his enemy Sumarang, another suitor of Ines whom he fought and
    readily defeated.

    Lam-ang found the house of Ines surrounded by  many suitors all of whom were trying
    to catch her attention.  He had his rooster crow, which caused a nearby house to
