The Legend of Mayon Volcano is at the abay that people inspired the natives to come up with one of the most exceptional Philippine legend.
The Legend of Mayon Volcano says that a long time ago, they used to live a beautiful girl called Darang Magayon, who had many guys after her from various tribes, one of them was Pagtuga, the tribal chief from Iriga,who was also a great hunter. But Darang Magayon was not interested on him.
Mayon is a classic strato volcano type of volcano capped by a small central summit crater. The cone is considered to be the world's most perfectly foermed volcano for its symmetry, which was formed through layers of pyroclastic and lava flows from past eruptions and erosion.
The eruptions on the Mayon Volcano, are the sings of love between the 2 lovers, and all year long disperse rain to keep the flowers and plants fresh, so it stays beautiful.
Many people do not know that the Legend of the Mayon Volcano is like a Romeo and Juliet story, the volcano is growing in the place where Magayon was buried, people rememberd Darang Magayon as a "Mayon Volcano".
