The Great Flood

The Great Flood - Myth
The Tingians, a group of pagan people inhabiting the interior hills of Abra have their own story of the Great Deluge.
The tragic incident began with the abduction of Humitau, a sea-maiden guard of Tau-mari-u, lord of the sea, by Aponi-tolau.
One day, Aponi-tolau, god-hero of the Tingians, went down to the lowlands. He wandered aimlessly through the plains until he
reached the seashore. The calm blue sea, massive and yet helpless beneath the morning sun which flooded it with golden light,
fascinated the young man. And unable to resist the beauty of the dancing wavelets, he made a rattan raft and rowed seaward.

On and on he rowed until he came to the edge of the world. There, in a place where the sea and the sky meet, Aponi-tolau saw a
towering rock, home of Tau-mari-u. lord of the sea. It was guarded by nine beautiful daughters of the seaweeds. The radiance of
the ocean light reflecting silver and gold upon the greenish hair of the nine guards as they played around the palace gates, chasing
one another in gay laughter, attracted the mountain lord.
Gathering the courage the Tingian warrior went nearer the palace gates. However, when he inquired what place it was, the maiden
guard laughed at him and lured him further inside the palace walls. This made Aponi-tolau very angry. Taking his magic hook, he
lashed at the unsuspecting maidens.
The hook hit the youngest and the most beautiful among them, Humitau. The young diwata gave a loud and piercing scream and
struggled desperately to free herself from Aponi-tolau's grip. But the magic oil which the mountain lord had placed at the tip of his
hook weakened her blood and soon she was helpless.
A wild uproar followed as the guards screamed and fled the gates. Aponi-tolau hurriedly picked up the unconscious body of the
sea-maiden, loaded it on his rattan raft and rowed shoreward. Shortly after the Tingian hero had left the bauwi ( native hut ) gates,
Tau-mari-u went out of his abode to see what was the commotion was all about. But he was too late.
In his rage, Tau-mari-u summoned the waves and tunas of the sea and ordered them to bring back the intruder. The waves lashed
at the raft of the mountain warrior and the tunas pushed it back.
Alarmed, Aponi-tolau cried out to his mother, Lang-an of Kadalayapan, mistress of the wind and rain, for help. The great goddess
heard her sons plea and immediately sent down strong winds to pull Aponi-tolau and efforts of the tunas, the Tingian warrior was
able to reach the shore unharmed.
But Tau-mari-u was furious. He immediately called a meeting of the gods and demigods of the seas and oceans, who agreed to
punish the dwellers of the land for what Aponi-tolau had done.
From the sky, Lang-an knew the plan. She immediately called for the north wind and sent him to warn her son of the impending
flood. She instructed the mountain lord to go to the highest peak of the Cordillera mountains for safety. Obediently, Aponi-tolau
took the members of his household to the mountain top and waited. The flood came. From his bauwi Aponi-tolau saw mighty
waves sweeping across the plains, filling the valleys, and destroying the crops and working animals of the inhabitants. Higher and
higher went the water until it covered the mountain top but for the few square meters where Aponi-tolau and his household took
shelter.
Frightened, Humitau gave a desperate cry. She knew that she could no longer swim or live in the water after having tasted the
mountain food which her husband had given her. The charm removed her seapowers. She imploted Tau-mari-u to save her.
Despite his anger, the water lord took pity upon his favourite Humitau. Si he called back the water and waves. But he promised that
henceforth he would sink mens boats and drown passengers until Aponi-tolaus crime appeased. When the water subsided, Aponitolau and his wife went down to the lowlands and from them came the people of the world.

D. Reflection
All of us like to travel in every part of the World to discover new and expectacular things that you never been see but then there
has a limitation. You have to be careful and respectful the existing things there to avoid trouble that could maybe happen.
I always careful in the places that I visited because I dont know what place it, the person who live there and dont know also the
history or origin of that place. This is the first things that I applied to myself to avoid trouble from them. We must to respect and be
good to them. A little bit adjustment to yourself to cope in the place where you was.

B. Setting: place where the sea and the sky meet, ocean,
Rising Action: Aponi-tolau, god-hero of the Tinggians, went down to the lowlands. He wandered aimlessly through the
plains until he reached the seashore. The calm blue sea fascinated the young man. On and on he rowed until he came
to the edge of the world in a place where sea and the sky meet. Aponi-tolau saw a towering rock, home of the lord of
the sea and it was guarded by nine beautiful daughters of the seaweeds. Gathering his courage, the Tinggian warrior
went nearer the palace gates and the maiden guards laugh at him and lured him further inside the palace walls. This
made Aponi-tolau very angry.
Climax: When Aponi-tolau got angry, he took his magic hook and lashed the unsuspecting maidens. His hook hit the
youngest and the most beautiful Humitau. The young diwata gave a loud and piercing scream to free herself from
Aponi-tolaus grip. But the magic oil which the mountain lord had placed at the tip of his hook weakened her blood and
made her helpless. After what happened, Aponi-tolau left hurriedly and picked up the unconscious body of the seamaiden. Because of what happened, Tau-mari-u was alarmed that something wrong happened to his palace and he
went out to his home to see whats the noise he heard but it was too late. Tau-mari-u decided to summoned the waves
and tunas of the sea and ordered them to bring back the intruder. Aponi-tolau cried out to his mother, Lang-an of
Kadayapan and ask for help to sent down strong winds and pull him ashore. Despite of the efforts of the waves and
tunas, Tinggian warrior was able to reach the shore unharmed. But Tau-mari-u didnt stop, he called a meeting of the
gods and demigods of the seas and oceans to punish Aponi-tolau. Lan-an knew the plan and immediately warn her son
for the impending flood. She instructed her son to go to the highest peak of the mountain for safety. The flood came and
filled the calley and destroy the crops and covered the mountain.
Falling Action: Humitau was afraid that she could no longer swim or live in the water after she tasted the mountain food
which her husband had given her. The charm removed her sea powers and she called Tau-mari-u to save her. Despite
of anger of Aponi-tolau to what happened to his favorite Humitau, he called back the water and waves and promised
that he would sink mens boats until Aponi-tolaus crime be appeased and bring to a state of peace.
Denouement: When the water subsided, Aponi-tolau and his wife went down to the lowlands and from them come the
people of the world.
D. Reflection: In the story of The Great Flood it shows me that in everything that we do whether it is good or bad, it has
consequences to us. Like what happened to Tau-mari-u, because of what he did to Humitau his land was destroyed and covered
by the flood and he was suffered from the revenge of Aponi-tolau. But in the last part, because of his love to Humitau it leads the
story into a happy ending.

Rising Action: One day, Aponi-tolau, god hero of the tinggians, went down to the lowlands. In a place where the sea and
the sky meet, he saw a towering rock, home of Tau-mari-u, lord of the sea. It was guarded by nine beautiful daughters
of the seaweeds. Aponi-tolau inquired in that place, the maiden guards laughed at him and lured him further inside the
palace walls. This made Aponi-tolau angry.
Climax: Aponi-tolau takes his magic hook and lashed at the unsuspecting maidens. The hook hit the youngest and the
most beautiful among them, Humitau. The young diwata gave a loud and piercing scream and struggled desperately to
free herself from Aponi-tolaus grip and able to get the sea maiden and he left quickly to that place. After Aponi-tolau
had left, Tau-mari-u makes his move to get back the sea maiden. Tau-mari-u summoned the waves and tunas of the
sea. Aponi-tolau cried out for help to his mother Lang-an of Kadayapan mistress of the wind and rain and the tinggian
warrior was able to reach the seashore unharmed. But Tau-mari-u is furious, he called a meeting of the god and
demigods of the seas and ocean who agreed to punish Aponi-tolau but Lang-an knew that plan and he warn his son
about the plan. Aponi-tolau took the members of his household to the mountain top and waited. The flood came,
sweeping across the plains, filling the valleys and destroying the crops. Humitau cried and implored Tau-mari-u to save
her.
Falling Action: Despite of Tau-mari-us anger, the water lord took pity from his favorite Humitau. So he called back the
water and waves. But he promised that henceforth he would be appeased.
D. Conclusion: From the story the great flood I conclude that in the name of love, all things must be possible. We can do
extraordinary things because of love but we should control our emotions and we must think first if what is right or what is wrong for
our love to be successful.

scream and struggled desperately to free herself from Aponi-toluas grip. But the magic oil which the mountain lord had placed at
the tip of his hook weakened her blood and soon she was helpless.
D. Reflection
The myths The Great Flood tells me the beauty of the seas and oceans also the mountains. In the Philippines there as many
beautiful sceneries that we can enjoy but it has danger if we didnt properly use it. We are the one who is responsible for restoring
the beauty of natural resources. Disaster may come if we make wrong things.

maiden, loaded it on his rattan raft and rowed shoreward.
In his rage, tau-mari-u summoned the waves and tunas of the sea and ordered them to bring back the intruder.
Alarmed, Aponi-tolau cried out to his mother, Lang An of Kadalayapan, mistress of the wind and rain, for help. The great goddess
heard her sons plea and immediately sent down strong winds to pull Aponi Tolau ashore.
A. Character:
The Tinggians a group of pagan people inhabiting the interior hills of Abra.

From the sky, Lang- An knew the plan. She immediately called for the north wind and sent him to warn her son of the impending

took the members of his household to the mountain top and waited. The flood came. From his Bauwi Aponi-Tolau saw mighty
waves sweeping across the plains, filling the valleys and destroying the crops and working animals of the inhabitants.

Rising Action: Aponi-tolau, god-hero of the Tinggians, went down to the lowlands. He wandered aimlessly through the
plains until he reached the seashore. The calm blue sea fascinated the young man. On and on he rowed until he came
to the edge of the world in a place where sea and the sky meet. Aponi-tolau saw a towering rock, home of the lord of
the sea and it was guarded by nine beautiful daughters of the seaweeds. Gathering his courage, the Tinggian warrior
went nearer the palace gates and the maiden guards laugh at him and lured him further inside the palace walls. This
made Aponi-tolau very angry.
Climax: When Aponi-tolau got angry, he took his magic hook and lashed the unsuspecting maidens. His hook hit the
youngest and the most beautiful Humitau. The young diwata gave a loud and piercing scream to free herself from
Aponi-tolaus grip. But the magic oil which the mountain lord had placed at the tip of his hook weakened her blood and
made her helpless. After what happened, Aponi-tolau left hurriedly and picked up the unconscious body of the seamaiden. Because of what happened, Tau-mari-u was alarmed that something wrong happened to his palace and he
went out to his home to see whats the noise he heard but it was too late. Tau-mari-u decided to summoned the waves
and tunas of the sea and ordered them to bring back the intruder. Aponi-tolau cried out to his mother, Lang-an of
Kadayapan and ask for help to sent down strong winds and pull him ashore. Despite of the efforts of the waves and
tunas, Tinggian warrior was able to reach the shore unharmed. But Tau-mari-u didnt stop, he called a meeting of the
gods and demigods of the seas and oceans to punish Aponi-tolau. Lan-an knew the plan and immediately warn her son
for the impending flood. She instructed her son to go to the highest peak of the mountain for safety. The flood came and
filled the calley and destroy the crops and covered the mountain.
Falling Action: Humitau was afraid that she could no longer swim or live in the water after she tasted the mountain food
which her husband had given her. The charm removed her sea powers and she called Tau-mari-u to save her. Despite
of anger of Aponi-tolau to what happened to his favorite Humitau, he called back the water and waves and promised
that he would sink mens boats until Aponi-tolaus crime be appeased and bring to a state of peace.
D. Reflection: In the story of The Great Flood it shows me that in everything that we do whether it is good or bad, it has
consequences to us. Like what happened to Tau-mari-u, because of what he did to Humitau his land was destroyed and covered
by the flood and he was suffered from the revenge of Aponi-tolau. But in the last part, because of his love to Humitau it leads the
story into a happy ending.

Rising Action: One day, Aponi-tolau, god hero of the tinggians, went down to the lowlands. In a place where the sea and
the sky meet, he saw a towering rock, home of Tau-mari-u, lord of the sea. It was guarded by nine beautiful daughters
of the seaweeds. Aponi-tolau inquired in that place, the maiden guards laughed at him and lured him further inside the
palace walls. This made Aponi-tolau angry.
Climax: Aponi-tolau takes his magic hook and lashed at the unsuspecting maidens. The hook hit the youngest and the
most beautiful among them, Humitau. The young diwata gave a loud and piercing scream and struggled desperately to
free herself from Aponi-tolaus grip and able to get the sea maiden and he left quickly to that place. After Aponi-tolau
had left, Tau-mari-u makes his move to get back the sea maiden. Tau-mari-u summoned the waves and tunas of the
sea. Aponi-tolau cried out for help to his mother Lang-an of Kadayapan mistress of the wind and rain and the tinggian
warrior was able to reach the seashore unharmed. But Tau-mari-u is furious, he called a meeting of the god and
demigods of the seas and ocean who agreed to punish Aponi-tolau but Lang-an knew that plan and he warn his son
about the plan. Aponi-tolau took the members of his household to the mountain top and waited. The flood came,
sweeping across the plains, filling the valleys and destroying the crops. Humitau cried and implored Tau-mari-u to save
her.
Falling Action: Despite of Tau-mari-us anger, the water lord took pity from his favorite Humitau. So he called back the
water and waves. But he promised that henceforth he would be appeased.
D. Conclusion: From the story the great flood I conclude that in the name of love, all things must be possible. We can do
extraordinary things because of love but we should control our emotions and we must think first if what is right or what is wrong for
our love to be successful.
