Google translate indicates that this article is a mere posting of the text of a particular Filipino legend. The article does not discuss the legend in any manner. Wikipedia is not a place to post the text of legends. An article about the legend, analyzing its place in Filipino society, etc., would be useful, but simply posting the text of the legend itself is not.

 * Delete per nom (at best would transwiki if there were Filipino wikisource and citeable original), and with shades of CSD#A7 because there's no claimed notability. DMacks (talk) 13:16, 24 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, also for lack of coverage in reliable sources. The title translates as "Legend of the Sea", but th text is a creation myth, about a single immortal couple living in a cave who want God to liven-up their world because they were lonely, so they ask for the gift of offspring. This seems different from the creation myth of Lumawig and his wife Bugan. I note that there is no article in the Tagalog Wikipedia under this title. --Bejnar (talk) 21:15, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Just a note. It does not match any of the creation myths collected at http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/creation-phil.html#creationstory. --Bejnar (talk) 21:28, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
