Kitcharao…

Legend has it that two powerful kings once ruled Kitcharao, Mangipikan, who ruled the north and Busaylan, who ruled the south. A dispute over their respective hunting territories eventually broke out into an open war where each side fought furiously until the subjects of King Busaylan were driven to the hills. The victorious King Mangipikan ordered his mighty hoard to uproot crops and other plants on their way, crushing, biting and scattering their stems on the ground to show their victory. Kit-kit ug Isarao (bite and Scatter the Plants), the King’s order, thus became associated with the name of the unsettled plain of abundance. Time has shortened this famous battlecry to Kitcharao, the name by which the same place is known today. |
