- 1. SAYAW KAN TULONG BULOD ABDON BALDE JR.
- 2. THE PLAY STARTED IN THE LAND OF IBALON OR IBALONG (ALSO REFERRED TO AS THE BICOL PENINSULA), WITH THE BALIANA (PRIESTESS) DOING A DANCE RITUAL WITH THE BACKGROUND SONG TELLING THE STORY OF HOW THE THREE MAIDENS WERE BORN. DATU MAKUSOG (HIS NAME MEANING STRONG) OF RAWIS AND HIS WIFE DAWANI (OR DIWANI) MET, MARRIED HAD THREE DAUGHTERS, EACH HAVING THEIR OWN UNIQUE BEAUTY AND SPECIALITY.
- 3. THE ELDEST WAS NAMED MASARAGA, AND ACCORDING TO THE LEGEND, WAS THE ONE FAVOURED BY GUGURANG. SHE WAS OF SHORT STATURE, A BROWN BEAUTY, STRONG WILLED, INDUSTRIOUS, AND PRAYED TO THE GODS OFTEN. SHE WANTED TO LEARN THE KNOWLEDGE AND SECRETS OF THE GODS SO IBALON COULD PROSPER MORE. THE SECOND AND MIDDLE CHILD WAS NAMED MALINAO, FAVOURED BY THE SEA GOD, MAGINDANG. SHE WAS LITHE AND SOFT SPOKEN AND OF A DIFFERENT BEAUTY AND CHARACTER. SHE HAD LIGHT SKIN AND WAS FORBIDDEN TO GO OUT OF THEIR ABODE. THE YOUNGEST OF THE THREE WAS NAMED MAGAYON MAYON FOR SHORT. SHE MAY HAVE BEEN THE YOUNGEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL, BUT SHE WAS PROUD AND MOODY. SOME EVEN SAID THAT SHE WAS BLESSED WITH HAVING GOLDEN-COPPER SKIN AND COPPER COLORED HAIR. IN THE PLAY, THE WOMB OF DAWANI WAS DEPICTED AS LARGE FLOWER BUD WHEREIN THE THREE (ALREADY FULLY GROWN WOMEN) STEPPED OUT OF. THEY DANCED TOGETHER WITH THE PEOPLE OF RAWIS, THEIR PARENTS, AND THE BALIANA (STILL TELLING THE STORY THROUGH
- 4. AFTER THE DANCE, THE PEOPLE HAVE GATHERED TOGETHER VERY HAPPILY, BUT WAS INTERRUPTED BY THE DEITY ASWANG, HIS DAUGHTER ORIOL (OR ORYOL) WHO IS HALF HUMAN-HALF SERPENT, AND ANOTHER CREATURE, YASAW, WHO IS SAID TO BE A MINI VERSION OF AN ASWANG. THEY WANTED TO WRECK AND GIVE HAVOC TO RAWIS, THUS SUMMONED THE DEITY BAKUNAWA, A SEA SERPENT, AND MAYBE EVEN LIKEWISE EAT THE MOON (ACCORDING TO LEGEND; AND IS BELIEVED TO CAUSE THE SOLAR ECLIPSE). THE PEOPLE WERE FURIOUS AND SCARED, RUSHING EVERYWHERE JUST TO AVOID OR ESCAPE THE GIGANTIC BAKUNAWA. SUDDENLY, DATU MAKUSOG SHOUTED FOR THEM TO KEEP CALM AND LET THEM REMEMBER THAT GUGURANG (SUPREME DEITY) WAS ALWAYS THERE TO HELP THEM. THE PEOPLE AGREED. BALIANA, TOGETHER WITH THE IBALON PEOPLE, THEN PROCEEDED TO DO THE HALYA (OR HALEA), A RITUAL DONE DURING THE FULL MOON IN HONOUR OF THE GUGURANG TO CONTINUE TO WARD OFF THE BAKUNAWA.
- 6. AFTER THE DANCE RITUAL, LIGHT CAME BACK TO THE LAND AND THE MOON WENT BACK INTO SIGHT, SIGNALLING THAT THEY HAVE SUCCEEDED IN BANISHING BAKUNAWA. AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT WAS THEN MADE BY DATU MAKUSOG STATING THAT HIS ELDEST DAUGHTER, MASARAGA, HAS COME OF AGE AND WAS READY TO BE WED. ORAGON, A RAWIS NATIVE, CAME RUSHING, STATING THAT ANOTHER DATU WAS CONQUERING LANDS AND HAS ALREADY COUNQUERED THE NEIGHBORING LAND DATU PAGTUGA (HIS NAME MEANS ERUPTION) OF IRAGA. HOWEVER, DATU MAKUSOG WAS NEVER BOTHERED BY THE NEWS. HE BELIEVED THAT THE LAND OF RAWIS WAS DOING WELL, WITH PLENTIFUL HARVEST AND THE LIKE. WITH THIS, HE SUGGESTED THAT THERE BE DONE ANOTHER RITUAL (AN OFFERING) IN HONOR OF GUGURANG, TO THANK HIM FOR MAKING RAWIS A BOUNTIFUL LAND AND BESTOWING SUCH GIFTS AMONG THEM. THEREAFTER, A DANCE WOULD BE HELD, THAT WOULD BE LED BY THE THREE SISTERS (MAIDENS), TO WHICH HE NAMED AN SAYAW NIN BUHAY (THE DANCE OF LIFE). EVERYONE REJOICED AND THE WORD WAS SENT TO EVERYONE.
- 7. WHILE EVERYONE WAS PREPARING, THE NEXT SCENE SHOWED THE CREATURE YASAW LURKING IN THE WOODS, WHEN A DEER SUDDENLY CAME ACROSS. AFTER THE RIGHT TIMING, YASAW JUMPED OUT FROM BEHIND THE DEER AND CAUGHT IT, KILLED IT, AND SHIFTED INTO THE DEER THAT HE KILLED. ALTHOUGH, AT SOME MOMENT, HE TOO, WAS ALSO KILLED BY ORAGON, WHO WAS ONLY THERE TO HUNT FOR A WILD ANIMAL THAT WOULD BE OFFERED, COOKED AND EATEN FOR THE FEAST. ASWANG AND ORIOL SAW WHAT HAPPENED AND WERE COMPLETELY DEVASTATED. ASWANG SAID THAT A BLOOD PRICE WOULD BE PAID FOR WHAT ORAGON DID. ORIOL SECONDED THIS, PROMISING DEATH TO MAYON, MALINAO AND MASARAGA AS REVENGE FOR THE DEATH OF YASAW. BUT ORAGON DID NOT KNOW AS HE HAD NOT HEARD WHAT THE TWO SAID AND CONTINUED AND CARRIED HIS HUNT OVER TO WHERE DATU MAKUSOG AND DAWANI MET HIM. AT FIRST THE DATU WAS PLEASED TO KNOW ORAGON HUNTED AN ANIMAL TO OFFER BUT WAS FRETTED WHEN ORAGON LAID THE DEAD ANIMAL, ONLY TO REVEAL THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY YASAW. THE COUPLE BECAME WORRIED THINKING IT MIGHT BE A BAD OMEN OR A SIGN THAT SOMETHING BAD WOULD HAPPEN. YET, EVERYTHING WAS SET ASIDE AND THE DANCE RITUAL PUSHED
- 8. RIGHT BEFORE THE DANCE ENDED, ORAGON BRIEFLY INTERRUPTED THEM TO SAY THAT DATU PAGTUGA HAS COME TO VISIT, ALONG WITH HIS TRUSTY COMPANION, LINOG (HIS NAME MEANING EARTHQUAKE). DATU MAKUSOG WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE DATUS VISIT. HE TOOK THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE MASARAGA TO PAGTUGA, HOPING TO BETROTHED THE TWO. BUT, PAGTUGA TOOK NOTICE OF MAYON AND WAS IMMEDIATELY CAPTIVATED BY HER BEAUTY. HE WOULD ALWAYS LOOK AT THE BEAUTIFUL MAYON, NEVER TAKING NOTICE OF MASARAGA. THIS LED HER CONFUSED, AND ALSO MADE MAYON FEEL AKWARD AT THE SAME TIME (SHE WAS BEING COMFORTED BY MALINAO AS WELL). THE DANCE CONTINUED AND MASARAGA TRIED TO MAKE PAGTUGA NOTICE HER, BUT HIS EYES WERE ONLY FOCUSED ON MAYON. HE FOLLOWED HER THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE DANCE WHICH ANGERED MAYON, RESULTING HIM TO GET PUSHED BY HER. LINOG STOOD IN BETWEEN THE TWO, BUT HE AND PAGTUGA WERE RESTRAINED BY THE OTHERS TO PREVENT ANY FIGHT THAT WOULD HAPPEN. THE TWO LEFT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
- 9. JUST AS THEY THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS OVER, THE CREATURE BANOG, A WINGED MONSTER, CAME FLYING IN TO SCOOP DOWN, CAPTURED MASARAGA, AND THEN FLEW HIGH AWAY. WHEN IT WAS HIGH ENOUGH, BANOG DROPPED MASARAGA, LEADING TO HER DEATH. ASWANG AND ORYOL APPREARED AND WERE DELIGHTED TO SEE THAT BANOG HAD SUCCEEDED AND BROUGHT OVER THE LIFELESS MASARAGA. THE TWO PROCEEDED ON CHANTING TIGBAK NA OR ALREADY DEAD AND EVEN MOCKED THE WORDS OF DAWANI ON HER STATEMENT MASARAGA WAS READY TO BE WED, AND CHANGED IT TO MASARAGA WAS READY TO BE DEAD. THE COMEDIC PART OF THE PLAY WAS ACTUALLY IN THIS PART WHEN ASWANG TOLD ORYOL TO CARRY AND BURY THE BODY OF MASARAGA SO THAT IT WOULDNT ROT AND SMELL IN THE AIR. BUT ORYOL DIDNT WANT TO, SO SHE MADE A BET THAT WHOEVER WAS THE BEAUTIFUL ONE, WOULD BE CARRYING THE DEAD MASARAGA. ASWANG WAS HESISTANT AT FIRST, BUT ORYOL HAD PERSUADED HIM, SAYING HE IS OF COURSE, THE BEAUTIFUL ONE. ATHOUGH, THEY STILL CARRIED THE BODY TOGETHER, INSISTING THAT SHE WAS ALSO BEAUTIFUL. AFTER BURYING MASARAGA, A MOUNTAIN GREW RIGHT BEFORE THEY VERY EYES, IN THE PLACE WHERE SHE WAS BURIED. THIS SHOCKED ASWANG AND ORYOL AND THEY CRIED OUT IN DISBELIEF.
- 10. BACK IN RAWIS, DATU PAGTUGA CAME BACK WITH LINOG AND WAS WELCOMED BY DATU MAKUSOG. HE BROUGHT WITH HIM MANY BASKETS FILLED PEARLS DIVED FROM THE DEEP SEA, AND MANY GOLD THAT LINOG CARRIED. HE THOUGHT THAT HE COULD WIN OVER MAYON'S HEART WITH RICHES. MAYON CAME OVER ALONG WITH HER MOTHER, DAWANI BUT WAS STILL UNAMUSED BY THE FACT THAT PAGTUGA WANTS TO MARRY HER AND PROUDLY REJECTED HIM. THIS ANGERED PAGTUGA AND AGAIN IMMEDIATELY LEFT WITH LINOG CAUSING DATU MAKUSOG TO REBUKE MAYON OVER HER ACTIONS AND BEHAVIOUR. MAYON, WHO WAS PISSED OFF AS WELL, WALKED OUT ANGRILY AT THE PRESENCE OF BOTH HER PARENTS. SHE THEN WENT TO THE RIVER YAWA TO EASE OFF HER ANGER. ORYOL WAS ACTUALLY WAITING FOR HER, AND HAD CAST A SPELL MAKING SURE THAT THE STONES WERE SLIPPERY, SO THAT MAYON WOULD SLIP AND DROWN. AS PLANNED, MAYON CAME AND AND SLIPPED INTO THE RIVER WHERE SHE ALMOST DROWNED, IF NOT FOR GINO (PRINCE) PANGANORON WHO SAVED HER.
- 11. MAYON GOT SCARED AND UNEASY AT FIRST, BUT WAS ALSO CAPTURED BY THE HANDSOMENESS AND GENTLENESS OF PANGANORON. THE TWO DANCED AND FELL IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER. ORYOL CRIED OUT IN DISMAY OF HER FAILURE. BUT SHE KNEW SHE HAD TO KILL ONE OF THE SISTERS NEXT, SO BEFORE MAYON AND PAGTUGA COULD LEAVE, SHE DISGUISED HERSELF AS THE LATE MASARAGA. MAYON, UPON SEEING HER CAME TO BELIEVE THAT SHE WAS ACTUALLY MASARAGA, AND WAS VERY HAPPY AND DELIGHTED THAT HER SISTER ALIVE AND WELL, AND EVEN INTRODUCED PANGANORON TO HER. SHE ALSO CALLED MALINAO TO TELL OF THE WONDERFUL NEWS. SHE TOO, WAS DECEIVED BY ORYOL. AS THE LOVERS LEFT, ORYOL TOOK HER CHANCE AND PLEADED MALINAO INTO GOING INTO THE SHALLOW RIVER, BUT AS SOON AS MALINAO NOTICED THEY WERE GETTING INTO THE DEEPER PART OF IT, MALINAO STATED THAT SHE IS NOT USED TO GOING TO THE DEEPER END BECAUSE SHE WAS AFRAID OF THE WAVES. SHE PLEADED TO THE SHALLOW PARTS. ORYOL, PISSED BY MALINAOS CONTINUOUS PLEADING, BLEW HER COVER AND CHOKED HER, FINALLY DROWNING HER AND ENGULFED BY THE WAVES. FROM WHERE MALINAO DROWNED, A MOUNTAIN AGAIN GREW IN ITS MIDST, JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED
- 12. GOING BACK TO RAWIS, THE PEOPLE WERE CONTINUOUSLY TALKING ABOUT THE DEATH OF MALINAO, AND DAWANI WAS SADDENED AND FILLED WITH SORROW UPON KNOWING THE DEATH OF HER SECOND CHILD. SHE WAS COMFORTED BY MAYON, THE BALIANA, DATU MAKUSOG, AND ORAGON. FOR THE MEANTIME, SOMEWHERE IN THE FOREST, ORYOL THOUGHT OF ANOTHER PLAN TO KILL MAGAYON. SHE IMPLANTED EVIL THOUGHTS ON DATU PAGTUGA'S HEAD STATING THAT MAYON ALREADY LOVES ANOTHER MAN AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE WAY FOR MAYON TO AGREE IN MARRYING HIM. ORYOL STATED THAT DATU PAGTUGA WOULD ABDUCT DATU MAKUSOG AND THREATEN MAYON BY TELLING HER THAT HE WILL KILL HER FATHER AND WAGE WAR IF SHE REFUSED TO MARRY HIM. HE PROCEEDED WITH THE PLAN AND SUCCEEDED, LEAVING A HEARTBROKEN DAWANI IN DESPAIR. MAYON AND ULAP HAVE HEARD OF THIS, AND THOUGH IT WAS AGAINST HER WILL AND HER HEART, SHE AGREED TO THE WEDDING. ULAP WAS FURIOUS, AND PROMISED TO FIGHT PAGTUGA FOR THE HAND OF MAYON.
- 13. IT WAS THE DAY OF THE WEDDING, AND A CEREMONY TOOK PLACE, REVEALING A STILL GRIEF-STRICKEN MAYON THAT WAS ABOUT TO MARRY THE MAN SHE LOATHED. BEFORE THE WEDDING COULD EVEN REACH THE MIDDLE PART, ULAP AND HIS MEN ARRIVED AND RAINED ARROWS OVER PAGTUGA AND HIS MEN. A GREAT BATTLE TOOK PLACE INSTEAD OF A WEDDING. ULAP WAS ABLE TO DEFEAT PAGTUGA IN THE END, AND MAYON JUBILANTLY RAN OVER TO HER BELOVED. AS SOON AS SHE WAS ABOUT TO HOLD HIM, AN ARROW STRUCK THEM FROM BEHIND, KILLING THE TWO LOVERS.
- 14. THE PEOPLE CRIED OUT IN GRIEF. THE MEN WENT AHEAD AND BURIED THE TWO YOUNG LOVERS TOGETHER. AFTER BEING BURIED, ANOTHER MOUNTAIN (THE THIRD AND THE LAST), A MAJESTIC ONE, APPEARED AT THE BURIAL PLACE. INTERRUPTING THE GRIEF AND SORROW, AS IF IT COULD NOT GET ANY WORSE, ASWANG, TOGETHER WITH THE BAND OF OTHER ASWANGS CAME IN BRINGING DESTRUCTING OVER THE MOURNING PEOPLE. JUST THEN, BEFORE THE ASWANGS WERE ABLE TO DEVOUR THEM, THE SPIRITS OF THE THREE SISTERS (DEPICTED AS TALL LADIES WEARING GREEN, DEPICTING THE MOUNTAINS), HELPED THEM AND FINALLY DEFEATING ASWANG AND HIS CONSTITUENTS. MAYON, MALINAO AND MASARAGA, JOINED IN TO DANCE WITH THE PEOPLE OF RAWIS AFTER A SUCCESSFUL BATTLE AGAINST THE EVIL DEITY. THIS MARKED THE END OF THE STAGE PLAY AND THE END OF THE STORY OF THE THREE MOUNTAINS.
- 16. THE END
