The Story of Lam-ang (A Summary) 4<br />

Don Juan and his wife Namongan lived in Nalbuan, now part of La Union in the<br />

northern part of the Philippines. They had a son named Lam-ang. Before Lam-ang was<br />

born, Don Juan went to the mountains in order to punish a group of their Igorot<br />

enemies. While he was away, his son Lam-ang was born. It took four people to help<br />

Namongan give birth. As soon as the baby boy popped out, he spoke and asked that he<br />

be given the name Lam-ang. He also chose his godparents and asked where his father<br />

was.<br />

After nine months of waiting for his father to return, Lam-ang decided he would<br />

go look for him. Namongan thought Lam-ang was up to the challenge but she was sad<br />

to let him go. During his exhausting journey, he decided to rest for awhile. He fell asleep<br />

and had a dream about his father's head being stuck on a pole by the Igorot. Lam-ang<br />

was furious when he learned what had happened to his father. He rushed to their village<br />
