A long time ago, a large bird known as Minokawa swallowed the moon. The people were too scared that they started to scream and made noises. The bird got curios on the noise so it glanced down to see what’s happening and opened its mouth. As a result, the moon jumped out and escaped. | A long time ago, a large bird known as Minokawa swallowed the moon. The people were too scared that they started to scream and made noises.

Since the moon feared the Minokawa, it had eight holes in the eastern horizon to come out and eight homes in the western horizon to go in. Everytime the moon comes out from the eastern horizon, the bird tried to swallow her. When the Minokawa swallow the moon and the sun, it will go down to earth and swallow men too. Then, the Bagobo people will scream and beat gongs because of fear. Their noises will make the bird look down and open its mouth. | Since the moon feared the Minokawa, it had eight holes in the eastern horizon to come out and eight homes in the western horizon to go in.
