"Yes, if that is what you say, but you must tell your name first," said the woman. "My name is Aponitolau who am the husband of Aponibolinayen of Kadalayapan." "My name is Gaygayóma who am the daughter of Bagbagak and Sinag, up in the air," said the woman. "Ala, now you, Aponitolau, even though you have a wife I am going to take you up, for I wish to marry you.

A further indication of his celestial character is perhaps afforded us in tale fourteen, which was recorded in Patok, a valley town in which the sun, moon, and stars are now regarded as "lights" belonging to the spirit Kadaklan.

He hurried home to tell Aponibolinayen how fast their plants had grown, and she was proud of her powerful husband. Now about this time Gaygayoma, who was the daughter of Bagbagak, a big star, and Sinag, the moon, looked down from her home in the sky, and when she saw the tall sugar-cane growing below, she was seized with a desire to chew it.
