Legend of Mayon Volcano (Ang Alamat ng Bulkang Mayon).

Once upon a time, there was a young woman named Daragang Magayon. Many men fell head over heels for this young
woman because of her unique beauty and very smooth complexion. Her father, Rajah Makusog, already gave Magayon
permission to mary if ever she decides it herself since she is already at the right age. However, despite having many suitors,
Magayon still did not find the right person for her.
One day while Magayon was bathing in the river, she accidentally slipped and fell on the deep side of the river.
Magayon started shouting for help since she does not know how to swim. Fortunately, a young man saw her and immediately
jumps to save her from drowning. This young man’s name is Panganoron, the brave son of Rajah Karilaya.
Panganoron fell in loved by the beauty of Magayon and Magayon also felt the same way for the young brave warrior
who saved her. Eventually, their marriage was revealed throughout the kingdom. However, Paguga, an avid suitor of Magayon,
thought of a way to prevent the marriage of the two couples. He abducted Magayon's father, Rajah Makusog, in exchange for
her father’s freedom, Magayon will have to marry Paguga and since Magayon loved her father very much she could not do
anything but to accept the marriage.
Magayon went to the place of Paguga to give herself in to release her father. Panganoron knew what happened to
Magayon so he assembled his brave warriors to save Magayon and her father. A major war took place between the two tribes
but Panganoron prevailed against Paguga and killed him. When Magayon saw that Panganoron had killed Paguga, she quickly
ran to Panganoron and while she was on her way to him, a stray spear was thrust behind Magayon. While Magayon falls to the
ground, Panganoron rushed to her aid and as he kneeled over Magayon, a warrior of Paguga struck him in the back and they
both died.
When the war ended, Rajah brought the dead bodies of Magayon and Panganoron home and her death was mourned all
over the land. Rajah then buried the bodies together. A few days later, a mysterious mountain appeared in the grave where
Magayon and Panganoron were put to rest.
This mountain is now called Mayon, named after their beautiful princess Magayon. It is said that when Mayon is about
to erupt, Paguga is challenging Panganoron and when the Mayon is calm, Panganoron is embracing Magayon and that the tears
of Panganoron are represented as rain in times of his grief.

The viral picture reminds us Filipinos about the love story of Magayon and Panganoron, that love can really conquers
all even in death and that true love is really hard to bury.
