After searching villages that still included in this Pineleng district area, about 15 minutes finally Tribune Manado met a village elders who know a lot about the story Myths about the mystery of why it will never happen rain of volcanic ash in Warembungan when Lokon action.
Opa Laurens Tulus. He is one among the village elders Warembungan village who clearly understand the story of this myth. At the age of 74 years, Opa Laurens was still able to recall vividly the story of his parents in the past about a strong attachment to the relationship between the village Warembungan Lokon mountain.
"When I was younger parents always warned sternly not to do things that are evil and dishonorable," said Laurens Opa opened the conversation.
The reason according to Opa Laurens, if in the villages there Warembungan young girl or boy the wrong village association or deliberately doing things that are immoral then the mountain Lokon erupted definitely. "According to my parents, every Lokon erupted there must be sin or mistakes made by citizens, so we are always reminded to always maintain an attitude especially towards adults," he said.
And so it proved, in the past, especially in the villages Warembungan if there are villagers who caught the error or evil then surely the mountain Lokon spewing ash or lava. "And that's true. Every resident who made mistakes Lokon definitely react," said Opa Laurens.

"That said parents because Warembungan protected by Tatawiran which according to the story is the law of Lokon," said Opa Laurens.

So the elders used to carry offerings to Opo Lokon," said Opa Laurens.
Because the bonds are closely intertwined here, then when the mountain Lokon action, Warembungan always protected from the adverse effects due to the protection of Tatawiran believed to be in-laws and Opo Lokon Lokon is believed to also be a guard Lokon also guard the villagers Warembungan.
