Critique about the Story of Biag ni Lam-ang

This story is about a person with super natural characteristics. It is very amazing, adventurous and quite interesting. Biag Ni Lam-ang is a Pre Hispanic poem of Ilocano people from the Ilocos Region. It is about a very strange child who could already talk at the moment he was born. He also chooses the name Lam-ang to be his name and also his baptismal sponsor. He is the son of Namongan and Don Juan Panganiban. Namongan was a very loving, kind and responsible mother while Don Juan is a very brave man. At the time of Namonga's birth, Don Juan goes to his future parents in law. And so they get married. When the time come that Lam- ang have to the mountains to punish an Igorot band. When Lam-ang turns nine months old he decided to follow his father. While he is traveling, he had a bad dream about his father. Lam-ang grew angry and went up to the mountains as fast as he could. When he finally arrived there, he saw a band of Igorots celebrating around the severe head of his father. He killed them all. When he returned to Nalbuan several women wash his body in a river.

Later on, Lam-ang fell in love with a beautiful, young lady, Ines Cannoyan. He decided to court her. On his way, he meets Sumarang an aggressive suitor of Ines Cannoyan. He slew Sumarang and asks Ines to marry him. But the parents of Ines said that they would bestow the hand of Ines if the suitors could equal their wealth so Lam- ang went home. When he returned to Kalanutian he brings with him a vessel of gold which is more than matched the wealth of catch the fish Berakan, he has a premonition that he will die. And just as he said, Lam-ang was swallowed by a giant fish. Ines was very sad but after all Lam-ang rose again by the help of the rooster and dog.

At the last part of this story, it seems very unbelievable because he lives again just after the rooster crowl and the dog growl. It's quite interesting because the characters showed different types of personality especially the main character Lam-Ang who shows great braveness and strength. And also the love they have for each other.
