Video copyright 2006 by Hans Brandeis. My special thanks go to Dinggot Prieto who assisted me during my research. Palawan musician and storyteller and Manlilikha ng Bayan Masino Intaray passed away last Saturday, November 30, 2013, at the age of 70. Hailing from Brooke's Point, Palawan, Intaray was a master of the Palawan basal, kulilal and bagit. He was a gifted poet, bard artist and musician who was born near the head of the river in Makagwa Valley on the foothill of Mantalingayan mountain. Intaray was not only well-versed in the instruments and traditions of the basal, kulilal and bagit but also played the aroding (mouth harp) and babarak (ring flute) and, above all, he was a prolific and pre-eminent epic chanter and story teller.
