So Aponibolinayen pressed her breasts and the milk from her breasts went into Kanag's mouth, and when she pressed again the milk went into the mouth of Dumalawi, and when she pressed her breasts the third time the milk went to the mouth of Ogogibeng. So Aponibolinayen was sure that they were her sons. The little boys asked her why it was that the milk from her breasts went into their mouths.
So Dumalawi sharpened his knife and went with his father to the place where the bamboo grew, and they cut many sticks and sharpened them like spears at the end. Dumalawi wondered why they made them thus, but when they had finished, Aponitolau said: "Now, Son, you throw them at me, so that we can see which is the braver." "No, Father," answered Dumalawi. "You throw first, if you want to kill me."
So Aponitolau threw the bamboo sticks one by one at his son, but he could not hit him. Then it was the son's turn to throw, but he said: "No, I cannot. You are my father, and I do not want to kill you." So they went home. But Dumalawi was very sorrowful, for he knew now that his father wanted to destroy him. When his mother called him to dinner he could not eat.
Then Dumalawi knew that he had companions, and upon going out he walked about where the people were warming themselves by fires in their yards, and he visited them all. In one yard was a beautiful maiden, Dapilisan, and after Dumalawi had talked with her and her parents, he went on to the other yards, but she was ever in his thoughts.
As soon as he had visited all the people, he returned to the house of Dapilisan and asked her parents if he might marry her. They were unwilling at first, for they feared that the parents of Dumalawi might not like it; but after he had explained that his father and mother did not want him, they gave their consent, and Dapilisan became his bride.
Then she called, "You spirits who live in different springs, get the jars which Dumalawi must pay as a marriage price for Dapilisan," The spirits did as they were commanded, and when they brought the jars and had filled the spirit house nine times, Aponibolinayen said to the parents of Dapilisan: "I think that now we have paid the price for your daughter."
Parents of Dumalawi pay the usual marriage price for girl, but her mother insists on more. Has spider spin web around the town, and groom's mother has to cover it with golden beads. While two women are bathing, blood from their bodies is carried down stream. Two alan secure the drops of blood and place them in dishes. Each drop turns into a baby boy.
I am going to get them and take them home, so that I will have something to feed." So she got them. She took them home, and she named the older one Kanag, the second one Dumalawi, the third was Ogogibeng. Not long after the three little pigs, which had the beads about their necks, became boys, and Ogogibeng was naughty.
After this the people feasted and made merry, and when at last they departed for home Dumalawi refused to go with his parents, but remained with his wife in the town he had created. The Story of Kanag Tinguian
So the betel-nuts oiled themselves and went to invite the people in the different towns. Soon after this Aponibolinayen, the mother of Dumalawi, sat alone in her house, still mourning the loss of her son, when suddenly she was seized with a desire to chew betel-nut. "What ails me?" she said to herself; "why do I want to chew? I had not intended to eat anything while Dumalawi was away."
