Long time ago, a young couple Dang
and mulay lived in the swampy shores of Kabatok, their livelihood
was catching crabs and shellfish and crossing the Bay to a village in Samar
island.
One Day, Dang ventured into the bay and said
to himself he gathered a pearl. He took a dive depth into the pacific ocean. He
noticed that the ocean floor was moving and he was
surprised to find the giant crab as big as hill.
Dang hurriedly back to kabatok and tell his wife Mulay
and they planned to catch the giant crabs. They built a crab basket that big as
a hill.
That night, they capture the huge crab
and they towed the big basket with all their might. They were so triumphant and
forgot one thing, a cover for the basket. Suddenly, Dang and Mulay fall to sleep. The big sea crab climbed out.
The Couple awake and Dang attempt
to kill it but its shell was too hard. The crab pinned the couple and dashed
them against the rocks. In her terror, Mulay shout the word: “TAKLUBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” . . . . . . .
The
next day, the people in the nearby town
found out a dead bodies of the couple , Years passed, the site where the
bodies buried they grew mound, a hill, then a mountain. The people called the
mountain “Danglay” means Dang and mulay .
The
swampy sitio where the couple lived was called “Takluban” as the last scream
of Mulay and become tacloban.
