mine is the legend of the mayon volcano
it's seriously such a tragic but beautiful love story.
so there was this gorgeous maiden named magayon who lived with her dad makusog, the tribe chief. she was literally so stunning that men would travel from far and wide just to catch a glimpse of her beauty.
one of magayon's many admirers was this warrior dude named pagtuga. he was head over heels in love with her and kept trying to win her over with lavish gifts of gold and jewels. but the poor guy didn't realize magayon's heart already belonged to her one true love, pangaronon.
it all started when magayon was bathing in the river and slipped on the rocks. she couldn't swim and started drowning until pangaronon heard her screams and came to her rescue! from that moment on, magayon and pangaronon fell deeply in love and he asked her dad for her hand in marriage. makusog could see how smitten they were and gave them his blessing.
but then obsessive pagtuga just couldnt let it go. when he found out about the wedding, he actually kidnapped makusog and told magayon she had to marry him instead or he'd kill her father. magayon agreed to marry pagtuga to save her dad's life.
on magayon's supposed wedding day to pagtuga, pangaronon showed up ready to fight for his love. it turned into this crazy battle between the two warriors. pangaronon took down pagtuga but then magayon got struck by a poisoned arrow. as pangaronon held his dying soulmate, one of pagtuga's men stabbed him too.
out of respect for their undying devotion, makusog buried the couple together. and get this: the ground where they were laid to rest is where the iconic mayon volcano formed over many years. locals say when the volcano rumbles, it's because the jealous pagtuga is still bothering magayon from the afterlife. but when it's peaceful, that's pangaronon and magayon embracing in eternal love.
