They only knew that he was named “Lakan Adya”. The inhabitants of the country had a lucky life. There they toiled not worry, they harbored no hostility against each other, the evil was strange for them and one called the other his brother.

One day they were attacked by enemies. This disempowered the righteous king “Adya Lakan”, and because they fear instilled in his power, they dragged him to the mountain of San Mateo. In a dark cave they forged him on two large stones. The Tagal wept after their king bitter tears. Since the day on which the stranger had subdued them, they knew no peace and no prosperity more. The conquerors brought with them misfortune, suffering and sorrow. However, the Tagal felt most deeply by their humiliation hurt.

Whenever there was an earthquake, they thanked God for, due they believed that “Lakan Adya” was trying to get out of his cave and let the rocks quake.
