Here a ceremony is observed twice annually by rich men for the increase of ay-ya-wan', the wild carabao. It is claimed that there are now seventeen wild carabaos in Ma-ka'-lan Mountain near the pueblo.
The men go to the great rock, which is said to be a transformed anito, and there they build a fire, eat a meal, and have the ceremony called "mang-a-pu'-i si ay-ya-wan'," freely, "fire-feast for wild carabaos." The ceremony is as follows: Ay-ya-wan ad Sa-ka'-pa a-li-ka is-na ma-am'-mung is-na. Ay-ya-wan ad O-ki-ki a-li-ka is-na ma-am'-mung is-na. Fay-cha'-mi ya'-i nan a-pu'-i ya pa'-tay.
