Wedding Dance (Amador Daguio)


  • Amador Daguio - more known for translating the Hudhud hi Ifugao.
  • Awiyao - the lead character has torsos like lumber - torn and troubled between society and love.
  • Lumbay  is barren - the reason why Awiyao left her.
  • Lumnay asked for the beads as a parting gift, which was also the most prized possession of Awiyao.
  • Twety fields - the worth of the parting gift.
  • Lumnay prayed to Kabunyan for a child which sadly did not reply.
  • Madulimay - the other woman that Awiyao replaced for Lumnay.
  • The "terrible" gongs (Gangsa) terrified, troubled and called upon Lumnay to join the festivities.
  • Awiyao wanted Lumnay to dance at the festivities so that she could find a mate.
  • Lumnay thought of being the first woman to go to the village chieftain, complain and denounce the unwritten rule that a man should take another wife if his first was barren.
  • Longing for a child which she was not blessed, Lumnay is seen in the end of the story caressing the pods of the beans.
  • Awiyao and Lumnay crossed a treacherous river together as a testament of their love.
  • "I'm sorry this had to be done. I am really sorry. But neither of us can help it." (Awiyao)
  • "This house is yours, I built it for you. Make it your own, live in it as long as you wish." (Awiyao)
