In your previous lesson you have learned that an epic is a long
narrative poem telling the acts or exploits of a legendary hero to save
his country, race, or community from savage creatures. The hero of
an epic is imbued with idealism, courage, wisdom, beauty,
endurance, chivalry, and justice. His legendary adventures are full of
fearful obstacles put up by supernatural forces or people with
supernatural powers. To overcome these supernatural obstacles, the
hero’s prowess has to be aided by friendly supernatural beings.
Maranao is one of the major Muslim groups in the Philippines. The name
Maranao means “people of the lake” or “lake dwellers” – they are the first
inhabitants of Lake Lanao. The Maranao people have rich literature that
include legends, myths, and epic stories. One of the epic stories you have
4
already read, the adventure of the two heroes Sulayman and Indarapatra.
Let’s discover another adventure of an epic hero in our new lesson.
Activity 2: Reading
An old king ruled over the kingdom of Bumbaran. His kingdom was
prosperous, his people were good ,and he should have been very happy .But
the king was not contented. His heart was full of envy toward his younger
brother, Prince Bantugan. Every time someone praised Prince Bantugan, the
king frowned and looked angry.
"Prince Bantugan is so good." other people said, and the king grew
more angry because he knew that he was not as good as his brother
either. "Prince Bantugan is so brave," everybody said.
The king grew tired of people saying so many good things about his
brother while they said nothing nice about himself. The young ladies smiled
at Prince Bantugan. They allowed him to hold their hands, and they gave
him their love. But they did not like the older brother, the king.
5
One day enemies attacked the kingdom of Bumbaran and Prince
Bantugan led his men to defend the country. While he was gone, the evil
king plotted against the good prince. He issued a proclamation that no one
should speak to Prince Bantugan. He added that whoever dared to speak to
Bantugan would be killed.
"How unfortunate that he should die here, " the king said." Does
anyone know who this young man is and where he came from? By his
clothes and appearance, he must be a king or a prince."
No one knew who the strange young man was. The king ordered
his body to be brought into the palace. The king was afraid that the relatives
or subjects of the dead man might wage war upon his kingdom. He therefore
treated the body of the young man as he would a royal person. He had it
dressed in magnificent clothes and placed it in a large hole in the palace.
Princess Datimbang placed flowers upon the bed on which the body lay. She
also decorated it with colored jewelry. Around the bed was an abundance of
fragrant flowers in jars and vases.

The king then ordered the great brass going to be sounded. He made a
proclamation that all his people and the people of the neighboring kingdoms
must come to look at the prince or king so that he would know who he was
and where he came from.
People from far and near came to see the body, but no one knew who
the man was. The beautiful Princess Datimbang watched nearby. She had
fallen deeply in love with the handsome stranger.
In another part of the kingdom, some parrots were talking about the
young man and how he died in the Kingdom-Between-Two-Seas. Suddenly
they noticed that the parrot from the kingdom of Bumbaran was silent and
sad.
"Why are you sad, my brother?" one of the parrots asked.
"I lost my master, the Prince Bantugan." The parrot from Bumbaran
answered.
" He left Bumbaran never to return. I have looked for him everywhere
but have not found him."
"Ah, your master is lost, indeed," another parrot said. "He is dead. But
you can see his body in the palace where he is lying in royal state."
When the king heard what the parrot had said, he was determined to
put the body on a vinta and take it himself, with all honors, to the kingdom
of Bumbaran. Princess Datimbang went with him. Before the royal party left
the Kingdom-Between-Two-Seas, the princess asked the parrot to go ahead
of them and notify the King of Bumbaran of their coming. The parrot flew
ahead to the kingdom of Bumbaran. When he told the king about the death
of Prince Bantugan, the ladies shrieked and tore their hair and fainted.
Everyone grieved for the Good Prince Bantugan.
Even the king, his brother, was stricken with remorse and pain. He
was full of repentance. He blamed himself for the death of his brother. He
did not know what to do. Prince Madali was a brother of Prince Bantugan
and loved him dearly. He volunteered to go to the region of the dead and
bring Bantugan's soul back to his body. The king decided to go with him. It

was a very dangerous journey, but the two were not afraid .They rode on
their magic shields and rode up to the sky.
For five days they flew. They reached the place of lightning, thunder,
and endless rain. Five more days they travelled. They reached the land of
burning heat. Their magic shields almost melted under them. So great was
the distance that they went on for five more days. At last they reached the
highest portals of the sky.
The keeper of the gate asked them," Why are you here? What do you
want?"
"We have come to ask the angel of Death when we shall die and when
the end of the world will come, the young men were answered.
"Go to the next door" the gatekeeper told them." You will find the angel
who guards the soul of the dead there.
So the two flew to the second gate and were stopped by the guard
there.
"Why are you here?" asked the guard. "You have no business here."
You are not dead."
"We have come to ask the Angel of Death when we shall die." Prince
Madali answered.
"Come in but only for a minute," the guardian said opening the door.
"Then you must return to earth right away."
The two entered and found themselves in a beautiful garden full of
fragrant flowers and delicious fruits. On a large table were bottles of
different colors which contained the souls of the dead.
The two tricked the Angel of Death to go out for a minute. As soon as
the angel was out of the room, Prince Madali whispered softly, "Bantugan,
my brother where are you?"
From a large blue bottle near them, the voice of Prince Bantugan
answered, "I am here."
Prince Madali seized the bottle and away the young men flew back to
earth. When they reached the place, the king and the princess of the
Kingdom-Between-Two-Seas were just landing with the body of Prince
Bantugan.
Prince Madali transferred the soul of Prince Bantugan from the bottle
to his body. The body stirred. Then Prince Bantugan sat up and stretched
out as if just awakening from a deep sleep.
The people shouted with joy. For many days they celebrated the
return of their beloved prince. Later Prince Bantugan married the beautiful
Princess Datimbang.
