SYNOPSIS

 main | synopsis | company | notes


Unjustly accused, Bato Lakungan escapes to Ranaw. His journey is dangerous but his 4 enchanted weapons help him overcome the hazards. He saves Kamayungan, princess of a rival tribe, and an old couple who in gratitude adopts him. He saves the couple's village from a scourge and the harassments of Baringigan, a war-lord. The people crown him Datu and offer him a wife. But Kamayungan intrigues him. Kamayungan, Baringigan's betrothed bride, and Bato fall in love and Baringigan vows greater destruction. News arrive that "white men" have plundered the coasts and are on their way to their villages even as Bato tries to unify the people.
