ALAMAT

By: Mrs. Lourdes J. Gaza

The place was a wilderness – wild flowers here there, verdant hills beyond, a brook of sparkling water, open spaces filled with trees laden with fruits, guavas, lomboy, susong kalabaw, aratiles, black berries, bignay, alupag, haluloy and others. In this setting were some pretty maidens with long, black hair washing clothes and bathing in the brook.
