Ibanao received its name "because there was a lake in the middle 

 of it." The story of its foundation is as follows : 



Smallpox broke out in Quiapan, Bauco, and all people attacked by 

 this disease died. Ando and Doma, a married couple, ran away to 

 Patog-6 Mountain, and there they built a small hut; later Tanca and 

 Andeo went after them to the same mountain and lived with Ando 

 and Doma; as long as they lived there they never returned to Quiapan, 

 the place where they came from, and they were the forefathers of the 

 people. 



"After the administration of the Spanish government, the 

 Katipunan ruled these places for a short time," but the latter 

 was defeated by the Americans. 



BARRIO OF BAUCO 



The ancient story of Padoca and Adian *° who lived in Tabeo Mountain. 

 The man was Padoca and the woman was Adian, their first child was a 

 boy named Opig, the second was a girl named Daoquen; when the children 

 grew up and there was no one to marry, they married each other; 

 when this family increased in number, they looked for a spring and 

 a good place where they could till the ground; they found the mountain 

 called Quiapan and settled there, and when the people grew more 

 in number, they named the place Bauco. There also came people from 

 other places. Not long after this Comandante Casanuba,* 1 who lived 

 in Cayan, arrived there; he came with many guardia civil and many 

 people of Cayan, and fought against the people of Bauco. After the 

 fight they received a cane of authority from the rulers." 



The Spanish, Katipunan, and the Americans in succession 

 governed the place. Various customs are described as follows: 



MARRYING CHILDREN 



Boys and girls that are old enough to marry don't sleep in their 

 homes with their parents; the young women go every night to the 

 house designated for them to sleep in, and the young men go to sleep 

 in the atato (tribunal)." 



80 The fragment of an origin myth. 



" Casanova. Probably before 1852, as the names of the comandantes 

 politico militar, up to 1890, do not show this name. 



" A tasselled cane given to the chief official of a pueblo in Spanish 

 times as a badge of authority. 



" See footnote 54. See also Lillo de Gracia, Distrito de Lepanto, 27. 

 Among the Bontocs, the girls sleep in a communal house called olag from 

 the time that they are about two years old until they marry. The 

 Igorots of Bauco may have borrowed this custom from the Bontocs. 

 Among the Bontocs ato is used to designate one of the political units 

 of the township. The at-ato of the town of Bauco evidently combines 

 the functions both of the Bontoc pabufunan and fawi. See Jenks, Pub. 

 P. I. Ethnol. Surv. (1905), 1, 49-55.
