    The Tribe of Balabagan

    In pre-Spanish time, there once lived in an island of Negros a peaceful and industrious
    tribe. The tribe worshipped the snake-god Balabagan. The tribe was forewarned by some
    traders that some cruel and immoral strangers will arrive. The strangers were getting
    lands of the natives illegally. They fought the unarmed natives, got the land and
    maltreated them, most of them lived in subhuman conditions. When the villagers heard
    this, they prepared to fight the cruel invaders. They sharpened their bolos and spears.
    They made arrows and dipped them on poison. They built watchtower by the riverbank.
    One day, they saw the white men came. They rode in big bancas and had long swords and
    guns. The disheartened villagers knew it was impossible to win the fight. So they prayed
    to their snake god. The snake god appeared. It stretched its full length from one end of
    the shore to the other. From its tongue belched fire that dislodged white men from their
    bancas. Its long tail unleashed power and lashed at the bancas. The villagers were so
    happy. They called themselves Binalbagan which means protected by Balabagan. Now,
    there is a town in Negros called Binalbagan.
