In Tinglayan Kalinga, there is a natural beauty exist. It is the pride of the local tribes to share the myth story of the “Sleeping Beauty Mountain.” The local tribes from 20 barangays of the province have their own version of the story.
Once upon a time, a couple named “Dinayao” and “Binsay” live in Patukan mountain. The couple had lived in the mountain and planning to have their own family, Then, their fate had changed when “Binsay” needs to join the tribal war. “Binsay” had his promises to come back for “Dinayao” after the tribal war. The undying love of “Dinayao” waited for “Binsay” to come back but it never did. She died in despair in Patukan Mountain. The love story ended in a tragic situation.

How sad a legend. Wars can be terrible and separate loved ones.

@TiarasOceanView Yes, my friend. That's the reason why I resigned during that time. Tribal wars are so strong in this area. This place is well-known the killing ground for tribal wars. The history of the tribes speaks itself because they are called "head hunters." I was so adventurous, right? I had tried so many risky situations in my life.lol

@manasamanu I agree. It is really a situation wherein tribal war still exist in this area. Perhaps the old folks had associated the story in real life story.

My eyes processed the head of that sleeping beauty. Such a love story. We also have our own version of love story of two giants... Angalo and Aran.

I'm very sure that the truth was simple but those barangays back in the day exagerrated the whole story! We pinoys makes a lot of fake stories until the truth was found..sadly, that will never happen

Sounds more like a true story as opposed to a legend. I can see that happening in real life.
