5. SUGUIHON the triumphant SUITOR and
the Vengeful WARRIOR
“Bisan han mga bisan, Saypa
han mga Saypa” (Waray idiom)
Suguihon, Bungansakit’s lover and
consequently husband may have
consequently belonged to the
Visayan Aristocracy and warrior
class. He is said to be a converted
native for recent interpretations of
the legend described the marriage
of Bungansakit and Suguihon to be
in a Christian ceremony..
9. These two Legends could actually reflect the age-
old PERSONA of the WARAY,
These were solidified by ORAL TRADITIONS that
were handed down by genealogy and customs of
the WARAY “Tilitol” (bastardized term of
“territory”)
The stuff of these legends are “SURAH” (viands)
for dramas, plays, radio programs, visual art,
street dances, comparzas which the Leyte-
Samarnon enjoy to reflect the things that give
him happiness, pleasure, memory and nostalgia
with a sense of pride, aristocracy and history--
that which implies to the total make-up of the
VISAYAN and to the MAHARLIKAN for that matter.
