One day a bad news broke out that an invading force was coming from across the sea. Immediately the rajah called for a council of meeting among his chieftains. The group finally decided to meet the enemy at sea. They must not be allowed to land, asserted Rajah Masubeg. A hundred of the bravest warriors were summoned. They boarded in ten large bancas, armed to the teeth. Datu Makisbeg commanded the task force in the lead banca. Not long enough, the two forces were soon locked in mortal combat. Furious encounter through hand-to-hand fighting broke out on the boats and raged until the sun sank in the west and darkness covered the sea. When morning came, none of the hundred warriors returned alive. The enemy was nowhere to be seen. They had been annihilated, and so were the hundred warriors led by the intrepid son. The kingdom celebrated the victory. But on the other land, the old rajah mourned for his son. Several days later, the towns people were so surprised seeing a wonderful sight in the sea. They were so fascinated with the many tiny islands dotting the sea line. There were about a hundred of these islets. Some of the islands were shaped like overturned bancas; while others looked like bodies of dead men floating in the sea. The people believed that these were the one hundred warriors who had sacrificed their lives in defense of their homes. For the people of Alaminos to remember them, the gods had immortalized them in the form of islands so that they will watch over their native land forever.
