Philippine Mythology: Aponibolinayen



Another iteration of the tale of Aponibolinayen, from the Tinguian tribe of Abra, Philippines. 
In this story, Aponibolinayen gets torn between two men, Gawigawen and  Kadayadawan. Here, we hear her as an extremely beautiful woman who is brave enough to escape an unhappy marriage.
