Ibalong

...ibalong is an epic about 3 heroes in bikol whose names are: BALTOG, HANDYONG, and BANTONG...who fights for the sake of others.......who fights with different kinds of monsters!!! they are heroes in their own way...even though theres no assurance to bit all the beast and predators_still they continue fight!!!

....what is a hero??? a simple question yet hard to answer. Is a hero a hero if he dies for the sake of others??? Nowadays,,,how can we describe a hero? ......thats a hanging question for us to answer.............WHO ARE MY HEROES???

...ORIOLE is a half serpent half human creature, who fell inlove with HANDYONG... she's a prudent creature_hard to capture and hard to bit. She's a temptation for HANDYONG,,,..._while discussing the epic of ibalong one word strucks my mind "TEMPTATION"... which reminds me of something that i couldn't forget... then i ask my self ..is temptation conquerable?... i just hope all of us are like HANDYONG who could sacrifice his love for the sake of others... he doesn't think of his own happiness...he could've choose ORIOLE to meet his wants......but NO !!!!! how I wish we could be like him.......
