LUMADNONG PAGKINABUHI NGADTO SA KALINAWattested to this when he said: “A baylan can make pangapog,or invocation of the spirits, the ritualist can also perform that.The mamumuhat also acts as medicine man. Their functionsare almost similar but only the baylan can bring the peopleto immortality because he is guided by the tumanod or theguardian spirit.” Amba Palasambag further disclosed that themost respected baylan in the past was Apo Baybayan, whohad already gone to heaven.The baylan movement participated by Datu Palasambag in1941 was led by the famous baylan named Dalas-agan based inHagpa, Impasug-ong, Bukidnon. Amay Mantangkilan, whoselife story is featured in the succeeding chapter, said that theyknew Datu Dalas-agan, who is in fact a distant relative ofthem and the grandfather of Carmelo “Meloy” Pinagawa orDatu Pignaoan in barangay Kalipay. Dalas-agan was a datuand a palaghusay or mediator. Amay Mantangkilan describedSingampo during the blessing of the Literacy Center prior to the Dumalongdongproper last August 2005.

So Dalas-agan wouldget the things himself, and he would surprise everybodybecause he would be back in less than a minute.”Amba Palasambag and his companions (estimated 1,000in Cullen’s account while 2,000 in Bietnarzki’s and 300 forDatu Mantangkilan) spent almost one month in MountKimangkil. People from the provinces of Misamis Orientaland Bukidnon and from Umayam and Pulangui went toclimb Mt. Kimangkil, said Amba Palasambag. There theyexperienced severe hunger because there was no food. AmbaPalasambag’s personal account of this movement goes:“When we arrived in Kapayagan, the people were hungrybecause there was no food. There were only trees. We werethere for a month. The children were forced to subsist oncamote peelings. Eventually, the baylan ordered us to gohome. And then we proceeded to Agtulawon.”Cullen (1973:8) noted that Dalas-agan blamed the failure ofthe libung to the killings committed by some of his followers.Amba Palasambag also said that it was because of the sala(sins) of the people. Amay Mantangkilan explained the failureof the libung as due to mga babag or hindrances.“The libung was not realized because there were hindrances.There were uninvited people who had unresolved sins.
