The Legendary volcano...

Do you believe in legends?

The legend of Mayon Volcano is sometimes hard to believe yet people of the Bicol Peninsula, has tried a million times to unravel the mystery of the origin of this magnificent landform of earth.

One legend has it that there once lived a very beautiful princess who had an uncle named Magayon. He was very strict and possessive of his niece that no guy could ever dare to challenge his wrath by courting the favors of the young pretty princess.

One day, however, a brave and virile warrior was so smitten by the princess that he threw all cares to the wind, clambered up through the window of the royal chamber and enticed the girl to elope with him.

With Magayon at their heels, the couple prayed to the gods for assistance. Suddenly from out of nowhere, a landslide buried the raging uncle alive. Local folks now claim that it is Magayon's anger bursting forth in the form of eruptions.
