Historical Background
The Bukidnon Tribe of Kalasungay, Malaybalay had occupied an area known as “Sil-ipen”, also called “Galanarahon”. This is located in the northwest part of Barangay Kalasungay now. People built their huts within the thick “galanara” (pomelo) trees and forest trees that people who visited them had to “sil-ip” (peep) through the trunk of the trees to see the settlement.
One day, the people heard the sound of gongs. They were reminded of the activity for the day, which was “pag-amul-amul” or assembly. The people rushed to the meeting area with their carabaos as their means of transportation. In less than an hour, the majority of the people were already in the Tulugan (meeting place). They tied their carabaos to the trees surrounding the area.
While they were busy discussing things over with their Chief Datu, twigs and leaves hit them. Tey saw their carabaos were locking horns. All of them tried to stop and save their carabaos but one of the Datus was horned several times. All others were hurt. They went home banging their gongs, so their wives and children can meet them. The Mananambal, together with other members of the community tried to cure the injured, especiallu the horned Datu. Unfortunately the horned Datu died. When asked what happened, the witnessed answered:
Ka—-la——baw—–sungay——–Ka——la——-b—-sungay—–Ka—la—-su—–ngay—-Ka—-la————sungay
After their revelation, the witnesses fainted but were saved by the Bylans, Mananambal, Manghihilot and Talamuhat.
After the death of the victim caused by the “kalabaw nagsungay,” illnesses occurred in Sil-ipen. Mambinayao, the prayer leader, raised his hands (ibinayao), knelt and prayedso hard. He received a message from Magbabaya for all of them to pray hard, deeper and evoke the real message of the Divine at Digemen, the holy place of the tribe. They were advised to move to different places under different leaders:
| Leaders | New Place |
|---|---|
| Amay Mansikabo and Amay Manlagendas |
To Lagonglong |
| Amay Manbalungkas and Amay Mantimaan |
To Napeneng |
| Amay Mantalasan and Amay Manikasan |
To Inayakto |
| Amay Mansumibo and Amay Manhiwed |
To Saluyong |
| Amay Mansawan and Amay Sumalindong |
To Lapasan |
| Amay Mambinayao and Amay Binagbagan |
To Malaw-ay and To Anasag |
They obeyed the message relayed in Digemen. They lived in the area assigned to them until they died. Their descendants continued their leadership and called the area they occupied as Kalasungay, as mandated by Magbabaya, in honor of the Datu who died because of the “kalabaw nagsungay” in time duty.
In Sil-epen, the leaders who had special skills and abilities were chosen as Datus or Leaders.
