Drip, drip, drip. Silence.
Drought.
The last of their drinking water had all ran out, and the nearby lakes had dried. It was a hard time for these siblings as their parents, Toglai and Toglibon, had just died and become spirits.
Before they were gone, the couple's first two children, a boy and a girl, sought a place far across the waters. Nothing more was heard of them since. Until after a long uncounted time their children came back, known as the Spaniards and the Americans.
The couple, before their untimely demise, had other children besides them. And unlike the first two, all of them had remained in their parents' home at Cibolan on Mount Apo. Now the people have been suffering under the wrath of the scorching sun.
With the drought the people said, "the gods must be punishing us. Now would be a good time to go elsewhere nicer where there is food and water."
And with that, they ventured out. Two went into the direction of the sunset, carrying with them stones from Cibolan River. The long journey has then taken them to a place of broad cogon grass fields and an abundance of water. There, they made their home. It is said that their children still live in that place, and are called the Magindanau because of the stones that they carried when they left Cibolan.
Two children of Toglai and Toglibon ventured out south, in search of a home. They carried with them baraans (women's baskets). When they found a good spot, they decided to settle down. Their descendants, still dwelling at that place, are called Baraan or B'laan after the baskets that their ancestors carried.
So two by two, the children of the first couple left the land of their birth, settling in places, and developing into new tribes. And these tribes were said to have received their name from the items that their ancestors carried out of Cibolan, either that or from the places where they had settled.
In the end, all of Toglai's and Toglibon's children left Mount Apo, save for one boy and one girl whom hunger and thirst had made them too weak to travel. One day, as they were about to die, the boy crawled out of the field in hopes of finding one other living thing.
To his surprise, he found a stalk of sugarcane growing lustily. Eagerly, he cut the cane, and enough water came out to refresh him and his sister until a rain showered upon them. Because of this, their children are called the Bagobos.
