they require the below the visayan term
for their tribal princess to memorize
each line of the Epic so that the story
of their hero lives on
the main character of most epics is
their tribal leader the story includes
the great feeds of their hero the only
alteration they make is the inclusion of
Supernatural Powers since they believe
in animism where a worthy Warrior is
gifted by the spirits of the natural
world
