EXPLAIN

1.) Describe Bernardo Carpio’s parents.

Answer. Bernardo Carpio’s parents can be best described in a single word, it is simple. They are
actually called poor couple but remained contented in their simple living with their son Bernardo
Carpio and became their primary source of happiness who had completed them as a family.

2.) Describe the development of Bernardo Carpio from childhood to Adulthood.

Answer. Bernardo Carpion possessed extraordinary strength where at a very young age he could
break iron rod into small pieces aside from other toys that his mother gave him. In fact, he was
recognized as the strongest boy in their village. Later on, when he was already in his prime he
fought those who dared him and strongly defeated them all. This had brought him popularity to
the whole country. However, his confidence exceeds up to the point that he even dared God.
Unfortunately, Bernado Carpio was punished by God and endures it until now.

3.) Did he deserve what happened to him when he challenged God? Why or why not?
Answer. Of course yes! It is called blasphemy provided that he dared God without considering the
fact that everything that he has, came from God. Therefore, Bernardo Carpio could have never
been in his situation if he only humbles himself in front of God.

The Legend of Alangalang Leyte: Lingganay

LINGGANAY is term familiar with Cebuano or Hiligaynon speaking people. But in many
places, people can easily understand "Campana" in Español, as translation to bell than the
vernacular batingaw or lingganay. Church Bells, or lingganay played an important role during
important activities during the Spanish-era, this is also the means of communicating people and to
warn them against imminent danger. During Moro raids, coastal settlements in Luzon and Visayas
islands rang their church bell during invasion, prompting its settlers to flee for safety in the
hinterland.
The Church Bells, or lingganay also layed vital role in the relationship of the Spanish
missionaries and the people of this country during the colonization. During church rituals and
celebrations, the priest/ clergies rang the bell to call the parishioners to participate these
celebrations. A Lingganay "the Golden Bell" Around 16th centuries, Fleet of colorful Moro vintas
raided the towns in Leyte, especially those along the coast. They came during the monsoon period,
and their principal object was to plunder, neutralizing along the track and capturing, taking some
as slaves. But in Alangalang, the pirates have a different purpose.
They had heard and were fascinated about a tale of an extraordinary golden bell that can
resonate a sound so strong that will be heard miles away. And indeed there was a bell, a golden
one that had been entrusted under the supervision of Father Baysa, a Franciscan missionary. The
colorful Moro pirates came in several raids, but each time, the townsfolk would be warned by
those who kept guard at distance and carry the golden bell to a safe hiding location. One time,
however, the Moro pirates caught the people off-guard and then the shocked people fled hastily
with the bell.
As they were closing to the "Bagka River" they saw the Moro pirates not far behind them,
so rather than allowing their treasured bell to fall into the pirate's hands, they dropped it into the
deepest part of the river. After the Moro pirates had been driven away, the people tried to get back
the bell, but no matter how long and how hard they searched for it, they never found the bell. To
this day, many say that now and then the sound of a bell can be heard faintly coming from the
bottom of the "Bagka River".
