Hero of the epic Biag ni Lam-Ang of the Ilocano


LAM-ANG is the hero of one of the most popular Philippine folk epics, Biag ni
Lam-ang (Life of Lam-Ang). The Biag ni Lam-ang, from the people of the
northern Philippines, is said to be the only complete epic from a Christianized
Philippine indigenous group. Exhibiting a mixture of Spanish and indigenous
cultures, the earliest written record of the epic was in 1889. There are at least
ten versions of the epic.
