Narrative Lead

Hundreds of years ago, in Kibawe town in the province of Bukidnon in the southern Philippine – where Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao – was born, there lived a tribal hero named Datu Mambantayao, whose bravery and heroism remain in the heart of the village folks. One of the Datu’s most chivalrous adventures was the rescue of his Lady-Love, who was abducted by a rival tribe from a nearby island. With his band of loyal warriors, the Datu attacked the enemies and recovered his Muse, whom he later married.
