- Tagbanwa: “There is also something else I will say to the rest. This (that I’ll say), (it’s) not the Lord who said (it), but I myself.

And those stones that have been used to build there, there won’t be even one of them sitting on top of another because they’ll all be scattered. This is going to happen because you paid no attention to the fact that this is the time when God showed his mercy to you.'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
