4. PREFACE
This storybook is inspired by one of the key features of the DepEd K-12 Curriculum which is the delivery of the
lessons though localization and contextualization. This feature stresses that students learn best when experiences in the
classroom have meanings and relevance in their lives. This is very evident in the Grade 7 English Learning Package. For
the first quarter of the learning package to which this storybook is patterned, different creation stories were utilized as
springboards in teaching various language structures.
Bauko is a fourth class municipality in the province of Mountain Province, Philippines. It is subdivided into 22
barangays namely, Abatan, Bagnen Oriente, Bagnen Proper, Balintaugan, Banao, Bila, Guinzadan Central, Guinzadan
Norte, Guinzadan Sur, Lagawa, Leseb, Mabaay, Mayag, Monamon Norte, Monamon Sur, Mount Data, Otocan Norte,
Otocan Sur, Poblacion (Bauko), Sadsadan, Sinto and Tapapan. It is also the province’s most populous town.
This storybook entitled “Story of Creation: How Bauko Got Its Name” does not only narrate the origin of the name of
the Municipality. It also gives a variety of information about the town which can lead learners to better understand the
present situation of Bauko.
This book can be used as a reading reference for Grade 6 to Grade 7 learners and can be used as a reading
intervention for Grade 8 with low reading levels. Differentiated tasks arranged from easier to more difficult ones are
included to serve as guides in determining if the students understood the story. Moreover, the story can be used as
springboard for teaching different English lessons.

12. During the first
o p e r a t i o n o f t h e
conquistadors in the Ilocos
Region, Padoka and
Adian, a couple from the
Western tribe ran away.
4

13. 5

14. Although they were
uncertain of where they
were going, they climbed a
mountain and went on until
they reached a place
which they thought was
good for them to settle.
6

15. 7

16. They settled in Pabis,
a narrow plateau on the
south of Mount Am-o,
which is known today as
Tabeyo.
8

17. 9

18. A c c o r d i n g t o
Padoka, this was the safest
place he and his wife
could settle. There were
deep rocky mountains on
the east and the south
sides.
10

19. 11

20. To survive, they had
cultivated the plateau
and planted it with root
crops. Padoka also
b e c a m e a s k i l l e d
conscientious hunter.
12

21. 13

22. One day, he caught a
live sow, a female pig.
He was happy at the thought
that he and his wife had
meat for viand. But, Adian
persuaded Padoka to spare
the pig so they could have a
pet.
14

23. 15

24. After sometime, the
couple was blessed with a
baby boy whom Padoka
named Opeg, signifying a
rare basket used for keeping
treasures such as jewelry.
16

25. 17

26. It was not however,
sooner when the couple was
blessed with another child, a
companion for their boy. She
was a girl and they called her
Daocan, meaning “the fallen
stars of heaven”. Upon the
mountains of Am-o, the family
lived in contented posterity.
18

27. 19

28. Many years afterwards,
the pregnant sow of Adian was
nowhere to be found in the
pigpen. All four members of the
family mobilized to search the
vicinity in case it went farther to
furrow.
20

29. 21

30. Fortunately, it was Adian
who found it. From the
pigpen, she discovered that
her pregnant sow left the
neighborhood toward the
east via the lower dike-like
m o u n t a i n c a l l e d
Kamanbaneng.
22

31. 23

32. Both Padoka and Opeg
followed the footprints of
their pig going to Mount
Kiyapan until they found the
pig in a cave-in on the side
near a spring.
24

33. 25

34. The place was full of “Bukok
Tree” (of the genus Garcinia), the
fruits of which were in season. With
one thought in mind, the family
decided to transfer in this area.
They built their house near the
spring in Mount Kiyapan.
26

35. Once settled, father and son
constructed rice fields while mother
and daughter tilled camote
plantation.
Everything was doing well in the
family. After which, the children of
Padoka and Adian married each
other, thus, expanding the clan
with Opeg as the head.
27

36. 28

37. As the number of people
who lived in this place increased
as a result of migration and
intermarriage between the
children of Padoka and Adian
and nearby communities, there
began rampant cutting down of
trees which they used to build
houses.
29

38. When the number of trees
was dwindling, the descendants
of Opeg, son of Padoka and
Adian started calling the place
“Baukok” which served as a
memory of the trees that once
abounded in the place.
30

39. This later on evolved to
Bauko which is how this
municipality is now known.
