Antique’s smallest volcano hides a forbidden love affair
Posted by Fridy Pe Panaguiton   
Saturday, 22 May 2010
WHEN the Visayan Islands were still part of the Shri-Bishaya Sultanate and the majority of the inhabitants of Panay Island were the Aetas and called the island Aninipay (after a sea shell that was later used in making capiz windows and capiz home decors), there lived a woman named Anini, the beautiful daughter of a Malayan chieftain in the southernmost tip of Hamtic, the original name of the province of Antique.

Nogas, a handsome former slave and farmer’s son with the body of a warrior, fell madly in love with Anini. Theirs was a forbidden love affair, for Anini belongs to the maharlikas, the royalty, while Nogas is a descendant of the uripons, or slaves. And so the love affair ended in a tragedy – Nogas was killed and his body thrown into the sea, where an island appeared and was named after him. Anini died out of loneliness and was buried along the rocky seashore facing the island that was once her lover. On her burial site appeared a hot spring and a small volcano. The hot water represents her tears while the volcano is her heart, still beating for Nogas.

Forbidden love. The island of Nogas faces the rocky shores of Anini-y, a reminder of the fate of unfortunate lovers who died pining for each other.
