. Olaging – Story of Agyu – Bukidnon Agyu and his clan lived in
Lambaguhan before the Spaniards came.They forcely baptized all the people. Agyu and the his brother Lona beacame sacristan. One time they were commanded to get 2 piculs of wax. Before the sun rises they went to the forest.They faced challenges like climbing the mountain,crossing the river and passing through the ravine just to get the beeswax. When the priest measured what they have collected,it only measured 1 picul.
They were given punishment of 150 whips and lashes but then since Agyu is a loving brother he got all the punshment instead. They went to Palaopao which is a far place from where the Spaniards conquered already.Long before Agyu did not possess any sense of immortality even that he somehow can do unexplainable things. Mongan was the wife of Agyus brother who was separated from the clan because of her leprosy. She have the task of hitting the salimbing or the small gong.One time the diwta got irritated and asked her to chew the inapugan or bettel nut and the saliva from it will be put all over her body. She was then cured and the diwata told her to give the leftover to the other members of the
clan.That was the first food they had to eat to be able to go the heaven alive. Pamolao which was thr tribe lead asked them to river Mulita to catch the maya maya which was a big fish.The third food is the makadingding.It was a giant pig that they had to eat also.They cut the meat and divded it into the members of the clan.The food must be enough for them. There shouldn't be an excess portion or else there is an intruder. A young boy came out from hiding.Pamolao told him that he can't come with them because he is still young. They were able to eat all the foods they needed. Salimbaw came out from heaven.It is a vessel that they will ride on to. Pugak who was Agyu's nephew was defacating that time that he was left on land.
His feces became Mt.kalayo. When they were in heaven one of the Gods fell in love with Tagyakuwa who is Agyu's wife. He even asked asked an exchanged to a diwta but then Agyu refused because he did not like the fact that diwatas do not have kilay.Agyu has with him his amulet in heaven. He wanted to test if it will work in there. He want to challenge a fight with them. They were sent back to land because of their humanly behaviour. They went to Nalandangan which was the new place they will be living at.There were 3 seas: betel nut, red,black. They do they merry making in tulugan. One time when Agyu left for a battle black datu came to his place. Tagyakuwa got mad at him and treated him badly because he has a lots of demands.
Tagyakuwa was eaten by a serpent that came from one of black datus thing.Later on it was revealed that the black datu is their relative that came to test Tagyakuwas faithfulness.One time an unknown man came from heaven. Agyu fought with him but it was his uncle that visited him because of missing him. The war ended to a feast.
