Note 63 — The Ifugao Flood-myth60

The water remained on the earth for a whole season or from rice planting to rice harvest.63 During that time Wígan and Búgan lived on fruits and nuts from the forests that covered the tops of the two mountains. Búgan had fire which at night lit up the peak of Kalauítan, and Wígan knew that there was someone else alive besides himself. He had no fire, and suffered much from the cold.
