He was called Pedro by his father and his mother. 4. Why was he called Pedro? 5. Because Pedro was the first man who arrived (after the baby was born). 6. They are good nurses in childbirth, but there is just not much opportunity to be clean (with the baby). Note on author: Not much is known about Luyon except that in her writings she describes herself as the "wife of Yagao." We also know that Luyon was presumed by Gardner to be at least fifty years old in 1939. In a footnote on page 28 of volume 1 of Indic Writings of the Mindoro Palawan Axis, Gardner notes that as Luyon "writes of affairs under the Spanish occupation which ended more than forty years ago, she is presumably at least fifty years old." Luyon is the author/copier of all the items in set 2. Mangyan language Texts.
