Mamuyapoy, Tarragona, Davao Oriental is a place where the seven Banos and their seven wives lived. The Banos are strange beings - half human and half spirit with great strength. SamaU was in a desperate mood and was looking for trouble. He swaggered over to where the Banos lived and rashly entered the place unbidden. Whenever a wife of the Banos passed him, he made an indecent gesture. He had done this to all six wives when the seventh wife passed, he did the same thing to her. Now, her banos husband was ill-tempered and found SamaU's effrontery too much to bear, so they fought. The seventh Banos wrestled with SamaU, each one struggling to overpower the other. They fell down once and scrambled up to grapple again. They were both thrown to the ground a second time, and were not able to get up. Their strength were spent. Maag saw the protagonists and came down riding on a yellow musaa. Reaching the prostrate wrestlers on the ground, she fanned them seven times with the musaa. they finally stirred and got up. Then she asked SamaU to make peace with the Banos, and they themselves went back home reconciled. Maag gave birth to her second child, a girl named Panisi.
