Amazing stories about the artifacts transcend from generation to generation where the Tingguians viewed that Kaboniyan, the benevolent spirit or the creator or God, had rewarded industrious farmers and hunters whom he appreciated with talking jars and agates hanging in branches of plants near the cave where he lived. Cabildo confirmed the story about the talking jar. He is the grandson of Magsawi, the hunter who owned the famous talking jar. He was from Patok, Peñarrubia, Abra. He claimed that Magsawi had a hard time catching the eluding talking jar, but an unknown voice suggested to Magsawi how to catch the jumping, running, and talking jar. Magsawi had to kill a pig without young and offer the blood to the spirit. After Magsawi complied, he was able to catch the jar. The story spread and was extensively published. Tingguian elders were happy talking about the generosity and support of Kaboniyan to the Tingguians. There are other remarkable stories cited in the folktales of the Tingguians. One of them was when Kaboniyan had turned the water that dropped from the bodies of the ladies taking a bath in a river into agates a long, long time ago. The Tingguians postulate that the jars or the beads were either from Kaboniyan or from their ancestors. Whatever the case may be, the stories are mysterious and enchanting!
