One Day, Darang Magayon was bathing in the river when she slipped on the rocks. She
did not know how to swim. Fortunately, Panganoron, the son of Rajah Karilaya from the
Tagalogs, saw her calling for help in the Yaw river and saved her.
After saving her life, Panganoron started to court her. After some days she finally
accepted his proposal. Consequently, he decided to ask Darang Magayon’s father, Rajah
Makusong for her hand in matrimony. The father accepted Panganoron to be his daughter’s
husband.
When Pagtuga heard of the news that Darang Mmagayon was to be betrothed to
Pangaronon, he got very angry. Pagtuga kidnapped Rajah Makusong and took hin to the
mountains. Then he told everyone that he would release him only if Darang Magayong would
marry him. Afraid Pagtuga would marry him. Afraid that Pagtuga would hurt her father, she
accepted to be his wife.
When Pangaronon knew about the situation, he asked his warriors to follow him to the
mountains to fight against Pagtuga. The battle was fierce. Pangaronon killed Pagtuga, but he was
also eventually killed by an arrow thrown by one of Pagtuga’s warriors. Sadly, while Darang
Magayon ran to the arms of her beloved Pangaronon, an arrow pierced her heart and killed her.
After the battle was over, Rajah Makusong laid the bodies of both lovers in a single
grave. As days passed by, people who went to the grave to pay respect, saw that the grave was
rising and turning into a land form. They started to call it Mayon, short for Magayon.
Each time that the Mayon volcano would erupt, some would say that such eruptions are
songs of love between the lovers. People say that the spirit of Darang Magayon lives on the
volcano. On the hand, Pangaronon, whose spirit is believed to be living on the clouds above the
volcano, would disperse rain to keep its flowers and plants fresh, so it stays beautiful.
