CHARACTERS:
OHP
There was once a farmer named
Mang Pedro who had a beautiful
daughter. Mindful of their only child’s
extraordinary beauty, Mang Pedro and
his wife prevented Juana from
consorting with young men. Since
Juana was as dutiful as she was pretty,
she found it easy to obey her parents’
wishes.
But one day, she chanced upon a
handsome young farmer named Aging.
The two quickly became fascinated
with each other.
Like any forbidden couple, Juana
and Aging found ways to meet in
secret. One day, Juana’s mother left
to run some errands in town while
Mang Pedro was out working the
fields. Aging took the opportunity to
visit Juana.
The two were so interested in
each other that neither noticed the
sky growing dark. When Mang
Pedro arrived home and saw Aging
inside, the young man’s arm resting
on the windowsill, he was angry.
Mang Pedro cut the unfortunate
suitor’s arm with one swing of his
razor sharp bolo.
Swaying from blood loss and
shock, Aging ran out of the house.
Juana chased after her suitor, but
was unable to catch up with him.
Night fell and the only sign of Aging
that remained was his bloody,
severed arm. Juana took it and
tearfully buried it in their yard.
Her act of devotion was rewarded
the next morning, when a strange
new tree sprang from their garden. It
had a tall green stalk, graceful
branches, and long yellow fruits that
curved like fingers.
The fruits came to be known
as saging (the Tagalog word for
“banana”), after the first guy in
Philippine history whose hand not
any other part got chopped off by his
girlfriend’s angry father.
