The poem describes the founding of the city of Tangub by early settlers who came from the bay of Panguil, guided by God and seeking adventure. They were led by the ancestors of Lapu-Lapu and Dagohoy and named the land Tangub, which they enjoyed. Tangub blossomed as they developed the land, with the mountain Malindang watching over its growth into a renowned city on the shores of Panguil Bay.
