She was the daughter of Makusog (the strong one), chief of the tribe.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />One day, Daragang Magayon was strolling near the river and stumbled on a rock. She fell into the water and was immediately swept by the current. Fortunately, her cries for help were answered by Pangaronon (the proud one) and his bodyguard Amihan (the cold one). Pangaronon didn’t waste time and jumped into the river. <br /><br />When Pangaronon finally saved the beautiful Daragang Magayon, the maiden asked how can she repay him. But Pangaronon was already captivated by her beauty and knew she was the perfect woman for him.<br /><br />Daragang Magayon didn’t object when Panganoron asked Makusog’s permission to marry her because she also instantly fell in love with the galiant man.<br /><br />But sadly, Makusog could not permit them to marry. Tribal law forbade marriage outside of the clan. As tribe leader he was left with no choice.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Patuga (the eruptive one) the ardent suitor of Daragang Mayon heard about the intentions of Panganoron. This angered him so much that they kidnapped Makusog. Patuga then forced Daragang Magayon to marry him or less her father will die. Without a choice, the beautiful maiden agreed. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTUst8W7KND4dPRXFRz10mnR9hSB2iugDO8a_BLHLiaeqDrGEX8Ds4xHGWbJL4mpsknx0uJ8EO67jIKB31VaWFsWLvbQLrPZLnWp2VWehsYjb_vWZ-P6Ltfq-hJH3d4Ly-dzyXYwU94z7j/s1600/magayon-in-flames.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="A maiden seems to appear Mayon Volcano" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTUst8W7KND4dPRXFRz10mnR9hSB2iugDO8a_BLHLiaeqDrGEX8Ds4xHGWbJL4mpsknx0uJ8EO67jIKB31VaWFsWLvbQLrPZLnWp2VWehsYjb_vWZ-P6Ltfq-hJH3d4Ly-dzyXYwU94z7j/s1600/magayon-in-flames.JPG" title="A maiden seems to appear Mayon Volcano" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A maiden seems to appear.

To avenge his love, a violent war broke out between the two tribes.<br /><br />Panganoron fatally struck Patuga killing him. However, a poisoned arrow was shot on Daragang Magayon’s breast. The torn lovers held each other as Daragang Magayon was dying.
