This mentions the epic heroes of Bantugan, Tudbuol and Timuay Pamulew who possessed amulets, magical weapons and animals as part of eventful lives they led in their kingdoms. The epic's commonalities in the motif, imagery, value systems, etc. are briefly discussed emphasizing that the events in the epic happened before the spread of Islam and Christianity in Mindanao. The paper suggests the promotion to love the cultural heritage especially the schoolchildren at their early stage. This is an aid to fill in gaps of our pre-colonial past to promote among Mindanao's tri-peoples the Muslims, the Lumads and the third and fourth generations of Christians.
