DAVAO – The
largest town in
Mindanao.
THE HISTORY OF DAVAO
They very first
people who were in
Davao before the
arrival of Pagans
were not yet mixed
through marriage.
It’s inhabitant were called
KALAGANS. Only kalagans
were its people, because none
of the tribes was mixed with
them, because they were all
pure kalagans.
DATU BAGU – who
ruled with power.
He envited all his subjects in
his camp and said “ We will
look for a place for
ourselves for farming here
at the edge of the beach”,
because that place was not
far from the sea cost
Many kind of Crops were
planted by Datu Bagu,
because he had a strong
rule over the large land.
There was a large BODY OF
WATER and Datu Bagu said that “
I will build my house near the
water”. The reason why do not
know the name of this body of
water is that it is only now that
this body of water has been
cleared. I will call this river
“DAVAO” we, the people who
live here, are Kalagans.
•One day when the place
became known far and
near, another DATU like
him across the sea heard
about him.
• So it happen that Datu Bagu
attacked by the other Datu
whose name Datu Maguda.
• The purposed in coming to
Davao is, because we heard the
Datu in Davao, who is called
Datu Bago , has a daughter, who
is pretty.
• When the messenger returned
and Datu learned that the who
arrived there was Datu Maguda,
whom he knew was the brother
lost along time ago and said, “
Tell him to come and tell that I,
the one rulling in Davao , am his
elder brother.
• They younger brother of Datu
Bagu never left hid older
brother until their people
became very numerous in that
place called of Davao which
both of them rulled.

POEMGINDAYA
(Bagobo’s Religios Poetry
God, the protector , (Dugma Tungo
the God, Who keeps the people)
The all knowing,
Come down here and tell us
You have been there,
The story of the bird far away in the
mountains .
You have heard the tale of the
youngest nestling of Limokon,
Concealed under the branches,
Finding at the topmost point fresh
branches pointing towards the
sunset,
Waving toward the dawn..
In the north on the seashore lie nine
rows of sequins
To fifty trees and branches cling;
In the south they drop showers;
In the north the breeze makes
branches sway
There is a place in the Sikala
mountais
Where there grows a bontia (a
tiny stone of magic properties)
pebble on the rocks.
Wire cannot dent it;
Iron and knives cannot cut it
Lop off the branches ;
Burn the field ;
Plan the rice;
Build the fence;
Place the altar.
Put on trouser:
Pull the drawstring;
Bind on tub-tub;
Dress the hair
Put on the necklace ;
Gird on sword;
Hold the war shield;
Take the spear;
Hold up spears;
Gird on sword
Fringed with goat’s hair,
Tipped with kid’s wool.
Ride horses;
Run the horses;
Racing, racing,
Dance to kuglung:
Dance flute;
Dancing, all dancing,
Lay betel in mouth;
Tobacco makes dizzy,
Wash in Ragubrub,
At bank of malilyo.
Cook food; climb for bees
Making combs very high;
Fix logan for bees.
Make saddles; make
stirrups.
Dig the holes; build the
house,
Make palandag.
Place altar bowls.
ON THE OLD, WET BRIDGE
Samuel C. Lacia Jr.
Samuel C. Lacia Jr. was born
and raised in the Davao Region. His
love to see his written works
published began in his teen years
hen he was the associate editor of
the high school paper of the St.
Mary’s School for boy Tagum, Davao.
As the motorcycle was
preparing to climb an old
wooden bridge,
Some of us held their breath ;
some closed their eyes
We who were seated on a
sturdy wooden ledge
Placed on each side of his
moving rural device.
The wheels moved past the
wet, running board.
When suddenly the driver
stepped on the brake.
The driver swayed as the
vehicle roared.
An old coconut wood was
shattered and raked.
The screamed as we moved
over a more elevated
wood,
And when once we avoided
to skid in a slippery pass.
A mother yelled when down
fell some of her food;
A true misfortune to her
hungry little ones.
Faces of some passengers
were now as white as coco
meat,
But when I looked down at the
brown river below,
Children were diving,
celebrating a great, joyous
feat;
We couldn’t help but smile
again signaling the end of a
IN THE TIMES LIKE THIS
(SAMUEL C. LACIA JR.)
In times like this the wind couldn’t be that
amiable,
Its harsh sound and cold touch resembling
doom;
In times like this the night couldn’t be that
lovable,
Dreadful moments engulfed me in gloom.
In times like this moss-covered
cliff couldn’t be that awesome,
Its steep, rocky surface I
considered a bane;
In times like this soft feel of the
earth couldn’t be that
wholesome,
Stepping of this patch of dirt a
little longer is insane.
Yet, a sailor takes the
winds as a friend,
Propelling his ship to a
place the wished;
The nightingale struggles
to sing no end,
Amidst darkness,
conveying hope and
peace.
The climber aims for the
highest mountain,
For the higher he goes ,
the greater is his
happiness;
The farmer toils the soil
amidst the cold drops of
rain,
For when the earth is wet,
the fruits are priceless.
