<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> <span style="color: #6aa84f;">There are many stories i've heard about the creation of the world, and most of those stories are from our old folks.</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> But this story made the most appeal to me</span>.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> <span style="color: red;"> According to the Panayan old folks, a long time ago, everything was amorphous and diffluent -- all elements of our world is mixed together.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: red;"> Yet from the depth of this amorphous void, there appeared Tunkung Langit and Alunsina</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">.<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> These two deities came from it was not known.</span> <span style="color: red;">However, Tungkung Langit fell in love with Alunsina, and after so many years of wooing/courtship, they got married and had their abode in the highest realm of the eternal space.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> <span style="color: lime;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: lime;"> </span><span style="color: #6aa84f;"> Tungkung Langit was an industrios , loving and kind deity whose primary concern was how to impose over the whole distraught set-up of things.While Alunsina was a sluggish, jealous, self-centered goddess whose only work was to sit by the window of their heavenly home and amuse herself with her pointless thoughts.</span></span><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> <span style="color: #6aa84f;">One time Tungkung Langit told Alunsina that he would be away for sometime, but the jealous Alunsina sent the sea-breeze to spy on Tungkung Langit. </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">This made Tungkung Langit angry upon knowing it.These started the quarrel between them.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> <span style="color: #6aa84f;"> Tungkung langit lost his temper, he divestated his wife of powers and drove her away. </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Nobody knew where Alunsina went.</span></span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> <span style="color: #6aa84f;"> Several days have passed after Alunsina</span></span><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> left, however , Tunkung Lang</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">i</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">t felt very lonely.</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">He realized what he had done.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Four months, Tungkung Langit lived in utter and desolation.He could not find Alunsina. His mind seemed pointles,his heart, weary, and sick.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> <span style="color: #6aa84f;"> One day, he thought of making a big basin of water below the sky so that he can see the image of his wife.</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">The sea was made. However Alunsina was never seen.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> <span style="color: #3d85c6;"> After a long time Tungkung Langit got irritated to the somber sight of the lonely sea.</span><span style="color: red;">So he went to the Middleworld and created the land; then he planted this with grasses,trees and flowers.</span> <span style="color: red;">He scattered Alunsina's jewels into the sky, hoping Alunsina would come back if she would see it.</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> Her necklace became the stars, her comb the moon, and her crown the sun. Despite all of these Alunsina did not come back.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> And up to this period, the Panayan old folks say that Tunkung Langit is alone in his palace in the skies.</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Sometimes he would cry, people say that rain is Tunkung Langit's tears.</span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Some people believe that the first rain of mayis received with much rejoicing and sacrifice, when it thunders hard, the old folks say that it is Tunkung Langit sobbing, calling for his beloved Alunsina.</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> </span></span></span><br />
