    BIAG NI LAM-ANG

    By: Pedro Bucaneg


    The epic of Biag ni Lam-Ang portrays the qualities and several characteristics of
    Filipinos. The fact that the traits, attitudes, and values being shown in this phenomenal epic are
    all reflections of our ancestors especially the Ilocanos who were the source of this fictitious piece
    during pre-Spanish period. It depicts unwavering bravery, justice, love, romance, relationship,
    journey and even friendship. The vastness and heroism in the story are filled with idealistic
    imagination and fantasy (http://myliterarypiecesblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/literary-analysis-of-
    biag-ni-lam-ang.html Retrived August 1, 2019). As oral literature, the poem is believed to have
    originated in pre-colonial times, evolving as it is passed on from poet to poet and generation to
    generation. The poem's first transcription is sometimes attributed to the blind Ilocano poet-
    preacher Pedro Bucaneg, but historian E. Arsenio Manuel instead attributes its first written
    documentation to Fr. Blanco of Narvacan, working with the publicist and folklorist Isabelo de los
    Reyes (Arsenio, M., 1963). The themes of the epic revolves around the bravery and courage of
    the main character potrayed by Lam-ang, who was gifted with speech as early as his day of birth,
    who embarked with a series of adventures which culminated in his heroic death and subsequent
    resurrection.
      Lam-Ang, the hero in the epic, son of Don Juan and Namungan Panganiban in the place
    of Nalbuan. He is being feared and adored by the people because of his extraordinary powers. He
    has an usual birth. He can talk just after his birth. Lam Ang’s astounding growth was so
    fantastically amazing. When he was nine months old, he already possessed maturity, physically
    and mentally. He also had a very loud voice that he can broadcast a declaration clearly to the
    town of Nalbuan. He had an indescribable spirit that he conquered the numerous Igorots alone.
    Lam Ang’s bravery was being shown to the town people of Calanutian and Nalbuan as he tried
    to get the shellfish, the fact that it was a difficult task because many have tried to attempt to get
    the precious shellfish but they failed do it. Aside from all his extraordinary capabilities, he also
    had astonishing powers. When it comes to his love life, he tried to do anything for his love, Ines
    Cannuyan, to prove his worthiness of marrying her. Unfortunately, he was killed by berkakan, a
    furious shark, but he was brought to life through the help of his unbelievable animal friends.

    The epic poem showed some of the earlier customs, culture, tradition and belief of the
    Ilocano people of the Philippines The story presented some of the qualities of the
    people of the Ilocos region such as adventurous, hardy, and brave as strongly portrayed
    by Lam-ang. The epic shows the importance of family. Lam Ang’s love for his family was
    selfless as he searched for his father. The leadership skills were also manifested, he protected the
    town people of Nalbuan for possible colonization of Igorots. The epic also emphasizes the
    rivalry between Lam-ang and other suitors. When Lam-ang fell in love with Ines, He fought and
    killed several monsters and eventually challenged Sumarang who was a dedicated suitor of Ines.
    It is just a picture how the Filipinos fight for their love, doing everything just to prove how
    dedicated we are.  Lastly, the story of Biag ni Lam-ang depicts a very good portrayal of a true
    Ilokano people in the Philippines. The epic poem presented the fact that life is full of trials and
    problems. One must be strong and just accept the reality that it is already
    part of our life.
