Legend has it that the iconic twin rock formations adorning the northern boundary of Taggat Lagoon were a wealthy, but uncharitable couple who refused an elderly couple any help when they came and asked for some of their fish catch.

In punishment for their offense, their only son (ubing-ubing), playing on the eastern coast was turned into a rock. In deep anguish, and even before they repented, the couple eventually transformed into bodies of rock in the middle of the sea. Hence, the twin rocks called Apo Lakay-lakay and Apo Baket-baket.
