Si Bulusan Nan Si Agingay


Si Bulusan nan si Agingay


A long long time ago, there was a couple living under the Volcano. They are living happy and peaceful. The couple was Bulusan and Agingay. Their relationship is full of love and happiness.

Apparently, their was a man named Casiguran who feel jealous when he saw that Bulusan and Agingay are happy living together.
Casiguran is the son of Apu Juban, an old man respected village chieftain. Bulusan and Agingay are not aware that Casiguran are making his evil plans to make Agingay be with her.
Then Casiguran starts planning his evil plans while watching Bulusan and Agingay. Even though Casiguran had already a faithful and understanding wife Irosin he still got his eyes to Agingay.

Casiguran got an idea to eliminate his hate by the death of his father, Apu Juban who died because of aging or natural causes.

Driven by his extreme jealous he plan to accuse Bulusan as a killer of his father.
Casiguran convinced and threatened the village soothsayer Putiao to stand as a witness against Bulusan as the supposed killer of Abu Juban.

Agingay did everything for Bulusan. She send her pleads to Casiguran. But after all the pleadings of Agingay to Casiguran, he just remained silent and didn't care.

Before the false testimony of Putioa, Bulusan brought to the village elders, Gurang Donsol, Gurang Matnog and Gurang Bacon. After the false testimony, Bulusan was accused guilty of killing Apu Juban the village chieftain.

His false testimony leads him to death by feeding him into a fearsome, man eating giant Mampak bird that all of the people are scared on the village.

The innocent Bulusan died after he feed by the Mampak Bird on the top of the volcano. But the evil Casiguran was not satisfied with the death of Bulusan.

He ordered Agingay to throw her first born son of Bulusan into the mouth of the fiery volcano. Casiguran has already assumed the position of village chieftain. He wants to marry Agingay.
Agingay complied as she climbed the volcano with her infant son by Bulusan.
Meanwhile, Irosin realized the trrachery of Casiguran's, confronted her husband who merely smile at her.

The soothsayer Putiao, confesses to the village elder about what he and Casiguran had done. He confesses the plan of Casiguran. Irosin go out and rushes to tell the village elders about what's happening, but she meets them on their way, incensed, after learning the truth from Putiao.

Together with other angry villagers, they all rush together to the volcano to save Agingay and her new-born son. On there way, they discover the body of Putiao, hacked to death by the minions of Casiguran. When they climb upper at volcano's crater they find out the lifeless body of Agingay. She killed herself after throwing her infant son into the mouth of the fiery volcano.
Then they saw Casiguran sneaking behind the rock. They grab him, and angrily throw him into the volcano's fiery crater.
The villagers all mournfully walk down the volcano carrying the lifeless body of Agingay. Their tears blend with the tears of Agingay and the blood of Bulusan, which formed two lakes against the slopes of the volcano.
The two lakes are now known as Bulusan Lake and Agingay Lake.
The volcano upon the slopes with the two beautiful lakes and smells with calmness is now known as Mt. Bulusan.

Quituinan Hill, Camalig, Albay


One of Camalig's Treashure, Quituinan Hill



You heard about historical stories of different places in Camalig. One of the historical place you can visit is the Quituinan Hill or Kitwinan. Based from the history during World War 2 the Japanese base camps were located in Quituinan Hill. It is valued because of it's high vintage point. There are 21 tunnels located and four can be explored for a historical adventure of tunnel hopping.

I was planning to go to the tunnel with my friends but the care takers didn't allow us because it's too dangerous and that time it's slippery so it might be dangerous if we go there.
In order to enjoy our escapade I just took pictures and appreciate the beautiful scenery of Mayon from Quituinan. From Quituinan you can see the view of the majestic Mayon. We had our picnic in the ground.
I really had fun climbing up the mountain from Camalig to Quituinan Hill and going back down. Going back down from the hill I witnessed the beautiful sunset.

I prepared a list of tips for you to enjoy the good vibe in Kitwinan.

6 things you must do in Kitwinan Hill

1. Climb the mountain
2. Go to the tunnel
3. Have a picnic
4. Fly kites

Seoul Searching @Legazpi Albay

     

                            CHEF LEE

     Ramen   
   Kempap with Soju

Chef lee is located at groundfloor Yashano Mall Legazpi City. My experience eating in Chef Lee was marvelous. It is such a great experience especially for food lovers. I didn't actually plan to eat in a Korean Restaurant at first but for the sake of our magazine I need to eat. The customer service was sufficient. When you will enter they will say " Anneonghaseyo" then when you're done and you have to exit they will say " Kamsahamnida". I really admire the way they treat their customers well. Even tho i'm not a fan of korean foods I really appreciate the Ramen and Soju. I'll get back here soon.

                         Experience korea. Taste the seoul. Visit them!😊
