Cultural Background
Mayon Volcano also known as Mount Mayon is an active volcano in the province of Albay, on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. Renowned as the "perfect cone" because of its almost symmetric conical shape, the mountain was declared a national park and a protected landscape on July 20, 1938, the first in the country. It was reclassified a Natural Park and renamed Mayon Volcano National Park in the year 2000.
Local folklores refers to the volcano being named after the legendary heroine Daragang Mayon (English: Beautiful Lady).
Positive Points
Positive points I've got from the story are if you really love that person, fight for him or her no matter what, true love is worth fighting for, and don't give up on love easily.
Conclusion
Daragang Magayaon and Handiong so loved each other that they fought for their love until their deaths.
