Magiting/ Walang Gulat – son of the Chief of Pasigan. Was already engaged to Lakambini
but fell in love with Sinag-tala.


Lakambini- antagonist of the story. Became jealous of Sinag-tala and accused her

Pirang Kawayan- father of Sinag-tala. Chief of Maynila


Summary


When Sinag-tala was 2 and a half, her grandma came and placed a fresh lily in one of
her hands and a small, pale pearl on the other. She said the Sinag-tala was to grow
as soft and delicate as a lily and she will own priceless pearls taken form oysters
from the blue seas of Maguindanao. After 14 years, she was called by Lakambini
to make baskets for the mother of Walang Gulat. So she went to the riverside to get
some bamban reeds and young bamboo joints. While doing this, she met Magiting.
They talked for a while but they didn’t know that some people were watching them.
These people said what they saw to Lakambini and she became furious. She then told
Sinag-tala that she did not need the baskets anymore and ended up hiding the pearls
in one of the baskets. So Sinag-tala was accused of stealing the pearls.

Sinag-tala was then put into trials. Magiting, because he loved her, tried to make her free
by “donating” some jewels to the village in place of the pearls. The Judges did not accept
this. Sinag-tala was then placed into the boiling water ordeal wherein she had to dip her hands
in boiling water and get one stone at the bottom and if her hands showed no signs of being
burned, she was innocent. Sinag-tala was about to this when Pirang Kawayan stood.
Lakambini knew that he was going to do something bad but as she screamed, Pirang
Kawayan stabbed his own daughter. Lakambini then admitted that she was the one who
hid the pearls and that Sinag-tala was innocent. But it was too late for Sinag-tala was
already dying.
