The power of flying lizard man demonstrated in a fiesta and how he acquire the talisman of tamborbug.

From the oral account of Jovit Conanan of Gibon, Nabas Aklan.

When fiesta came, different kind of people attend the celebration where the center of it is the plaza where various traditional  games were held.

In the contest of bamboo pole climbing where a long bamboo pole was erected like flagpole and at the top of it is a small red  flag. To win the prize, you must reached for the flag and brought it down with your own hand. If it was dropped while you  are still high atop the pole, you lose.

Every one in the village tried but the pole was slippery and no one had climbed it until a lanky man from the mountain tried  for himself.

To our amazement the man climb like a lizard where its hands and feet stuck on the pole tightly that did not make him fall.

Then he climb  with ease as if it was ordinary pole and not slippery one that was rubbed with oil.

Then he reached the flag put it in his mouth and to our amazement, he reversed himself above. His legs were upward and his head was facing downward to the ground.

Then he slowly climb down using his hands to propel down while his crossed feet he used it as brakes to slowdown the descent of his body.

Later we learned from the shaman that the man has a talisman of a tamborbog lupad, a flying lizard that lived high in the trees. We asked him how the man acquired it he said that it was a hard work for you have to search for the king of the lizard in the forest and trapped it.

Once you possessed it its tamawo guardian will grant you the lizard-like power that you can use for good deeds in your lifetime.
