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. They performed a dacudacan ritual to celebrate their victory, which includes playing of gongs, stomping of feet, and shouting dacdacudac (“victory”).
