    The document provides a critical perspective on the Hinilawod epic Labaw Donggon. It summarizes that the epic depicts marriage as an important ritual with a systematic process where the groom's parents support their son's decision and generously provide dowry. However, from a feminist view, this culture could make women feel they are "not enough" if additional wives are taken. It also notes the epic shows the importance of caring for one's parents through the sons searching for their father. Labaw Donggon's struggles symbolize that one cannot always get what they want immediately and must face limitations. His fight with Buyung Saragnayan helps Labaw Donggon find his identity by reflecting on his mistakes through facing challenges. Overall

    Critical Perspective on Labaw Donggon

    Labaw Donggon depicts an image of a well planed marriage. Once a man falls for a woman, he
    let her parents know about his intentions, then tell his parents to be with him in asking the
    woman’s parents to allow him to marry the girl. To talk about the dowries and the necessary
    preparations for the wedding. With that, it indicates that marriage for them is really an important
    ritual and that they have a process followed. In the epic, it is a systematic process, thus, it's quite
    a long journey, but the way it is presented, it is of direct to the point. And the parents of the
    “groom to be” shows generosity towards the “bride to be” parents with regard to the asked
    dowry. With that implication, it shows that, the parents are all there supporting their son's
    decision and that they are willing to give beyond what is asked by the parents of the other party
    as long as they’re capable of.
    However, given this fact about a process one undergoes before marrying, in a feministic view,
    women are somehow treated unlikely as another party will, then, be involved or more likely
    another wife will then come into the picture even though the first wife and the husband just got
    married for a month or a week. Yes, it is with their culture, yet, that act somehow will lead the
    wife to think that “she is not enough”. In that, it is nice if the long process and the efforts exerted
    before marrying someone should be valued.
    The way when the two son’s of Labaw Donggon went off to look for their fathers reflects a
    member of the tribe's attitude towards parents. It introduced to the readers the attribution of
    caring for the parents. That though one haven’t seen his parents, still there’s that part of them
    that is somehow functioned automatically, not being told to find that space that longs for a
    parent, yes, not just the specific tribe, the Hinilawod, mentioned but at the same time for all in
    general. The experience that Labaw Donggon experienced when he wanted to pursue
    Nagmalitong Yawa and the fact that she has a husband, is like a turning point to Donggon’s
    “desire” of marrying whom he pleases. It is used as a symbol of waking up to the reality that,
    “you can’t have everything”, there are always instances that you can just acquire with a
    limitation, that it is not a matter of what you see that please your eyes will be yours immediately.
    So, the struggles that he experienced, up to the point of him being locked down the house is an
    indication of such message.
    Buyung Saragnayan played an important symbolism in the epic for he is somehow interpreted as
    the things that Labaw Donggon needed to change, the mistakes and wrong doings that he has
    done. And they fought over, it made clear that it is Buyung Saragnayan that made Labaw
    Donggon find his identity. The dungeon was able to reflect on the unlikely things he has done.
    With that, it reminds the reader that sometimes in life, in order to complete the missing piece of
    your identity or individuality, you have to experience the struggles and experiences that would
    challenge you and eventually lead you to discern, and in the epic, it is portrayed in the presence
    of Saragnayan.
    With that, it shows that the epic depiction of “alert moments” in one's life, is also an indication
    of a wake up call for anyone, not just for the Hinilawod tribe, but in a wider scope which cover
    all the reader, you, me, everyone. 
