While Bangan was playing on their garden full of bananas, a stranger arrived, pointed to the surroundings, and asked what the name of the village is. Bangan thought that the stranger was asking for the name of the fruit, and so she responded "saba". The stranger asked again and Bangan thought that the stranger was asking for her name, so she replied Bangan. The stranger had a hard time pronouncing the two words and just said "Sabangan", to which Bangan just nodded. From then on, the place was called Sabangan.

The father went back to Leseb to tell the news, to which the Leseb people waged war to the Ampontoc people. The following day, the Leseb people went and killed the warriors and people of Ampontoc.
# There was once a man with his son from Leseb who went to Pilipil to find a job. The people there wanted the gold teeth of the man, and so they beheaded the man, collected his blood, and forced the son to drink it. The son ran back to Leseb to tell the news, to which the Leseb people waged war to the Pilipil people. The following day, the Leseb people went and killed their opponents.
For both of the stories, on their way home, while carrying their opponents' heads, they stumbled a cave wherein they rested.
