Labaw Donggon meets Lam-ang

   What would happen is Labaw Donggon and Lam-ang meet in the distant past? Though these two characters come from two different epics which were made in two different places, imagination wouldn’t hurt. For one they themselves have their similarities. To name one they both have their own experience with animals, it seems that these animals transformed then into something they were not. You see Labaw Donggon was turned into a pig during one of this battles while Lam-ang has his own magical pets (a rooster, hen, and a dog) who gave life back to Lam-ang when he died. If they had a conversation it would probably go something like this:

Labaw Donggon: Hey Lam-ang, do you know that I was turned into a pig before?
Lam-ang: Wow Labaw, you could have been one of my pets. You would make a good addition. My pets gave me life, you see I was dead but now I'm not. *Evil laugh* They are so useful to me.
Labaw Donggon: What?! I will never be your pet. I bow to no other man or god! Fight me!

   Well, they would never get along anyways. In the ancient times of the Philippines, tribes fought against each other and rarely got along well. So it would have been a fight between the Illocanos and the people from Sulod, Panay. “Hinilawod” vs. “Biag ni Lam-ang”. Labaw Donggon would probably win, he seems to be the stronger one if you compare the experience of the two but Lam-ang would just be revived again I guess. Sad for him though because Labaw Donggon would have had already taken his wife by then.

   This is just an imagination of mine, a lot of other things could have happen between them. They could have been talking about other things, or who knows, they could have been friends.
