Traditions of the Tinguian

Ibago wa Agimlang

Also known as: Agimlang / Daliwagenan · First appears: Tale 27

In Tale 27, Ibago wa Agimlang is the son of Dinowágan and Dagilagatan. At four months old, he set out for Daoláwan to fight the tattooed Igorots, despite his parents’ objections; they gave him a small headaxe, a spear and a shield. He stayed and talked with the alan girls for nine months before going to war, where his weapons killed everyone in the town. He used magic to send the tattooed alzados’ heads to Pindayan and followed them.

At Pindayan, he and Adolan laid down their quids and discovered they were brothers. Ibago took his sister Ginalingan from the lawed vines and carried her inside his belt; after arriving in Pindayan, he held a big party and brought her out. The family recognized Igowan and Ginalingan as children of Dinowágan and Dagilagatan, who took their sons and daughters to Pindayan.
