** ***And Lam-Ang dived into the river Unaware of the crocodile had gone downstream, While he went upstream. And when he went downstream, the crocodile went upstream. They soon spotted each other and begin to fight. Lam-Ang became angry And in one thrust subdued it. Then, he carried it on his back and beached it. ...“younger sisters, take its teeth for a necklace for they can be amulets when one travels”*** **BIAG NI LAM-ANG** **("The Life of Lam-ang") is an epic poem of the Ilokano people from the Ilocos region of the Philippines. Recited and written in its original Iloko, the poem is believed to be a composite work of various poets who passed it on through the generations, and was first transcribed around 1640 by a blind Ilokano bard named Pedro Bucaneg.
