6. B. DANG and MULAY
“The Legend” by DULZCUNA

7. MT. DANGLAY

9. These two Legends could actually reflect the age-
old PERSONA of the WARAY,
These were solidified by ORAL TRADITIONS that
were handed down by genealogy and customs of
the WARAY “Tilitol” (bastardized term of
“territory”)
The stuff of these legends are “SURAH” (viands)
for dramas, plays, radio programs, visual art,
street dances, comparzas which the Leyte-
Samarnon enjoy to reflect the things that give
him happiness, pleasure, memory and nostalgia
with a sense of pride, aristocracy and history--
that which implies to the total make-up of the
VISAYAN and to the MAHARLIKAN for that matter.
