Poem About the History of Amburukay



It was Sunday morning
When we have witnessed
The epic, people is talking about
And we were all excited as guests.

Suguidanonay was the name
Calinognon people use to call it
One of the festivals
That you should not miss

In watching this festival
Don’t put some malice
‘Cause this is just a story
About Amburukay the hermit.

Amburukay is a hermit
Sister of Makabagting
She captured the gorgeous Matan-ayon and Saranggaon
The daughter of Datu Paiburong.

Paiburong is a datu
Honoured by all
Whatever he wishes
The people do it all.

He ordered to cut the bamboos owned by Amburukay
That made the hermit mad
And as a payment of his doings
His daughters will be bound.

In Amburukay’s house
The ladies were locked up in a golden chamber
And whoever succeeds in stealing her golden pubic hair
Will marry her lovely adopted daughters.

There was a man
Named Labaw Donggon
He loves to play guitar
And watch over the moon.

But his strings snapped
And he can’t play now
So he looked for something
To replace his broken string.

Labaw Donggon heard about Amburukay’s golden pubic hair
And he thought of stealing it from her
He waited for Amburukay to fall asleep
And get the pubic he intended to keep.
Amburukay woke up without her golden pubic hair.
And she started looking for someone who stole it from her
When she knew that Labaw Donggon was the culprit
She commanded him to marry her.

The wedding day had came
And Labaw Donggon was really surprised
When he saw a lovely girl Matan-ayon
The adopted daughter of Amburukay.

And it was the beginning
Of their lovely love affair
And the couple had lived together
Happily ever after.
