He is a husky, ill-tempered ruler of the sea who was said to have never married after his love was spurned by a beautiful mortal maiden, Maganda. In his frustration, Amanikable swore vengeance against all mortal beings. That is the reason why, the old folk say, he sends turbulent waves and horrible tempests every now and then to wreck boats and drown men. (Outline of Philippine Mythology, pg 9 - Dr. F. Landa Jocano)
