Puntan Dos Amåntes or the Two Lovers Point is one of the most iconic locations on Guam, and the legend of the two lovers who leapt from the cliffs is one of the most famous legends from CHamoru culture and Guam history.
The most common version of this story, describes a young CHamoru woman who is to be wed to a Spanish officer during the early days of Spanish colonialism. She is in love with a CHamoru man, who her family does not approve of. They run away and are eventually cornered at the cliff that bears the name of their tragic story. Rather than surrender, they chose to tie their hair together and leap to their deaths.
There are other versions of this story however, including ones where the drama takes place in ancient times, prior to colonialism. The tension in those stories is not tied to being married to a foreigner, but rather a young woman who loves someone outside of her social caste. In those stories she is matua or high caste, and ordered to marry another matua. But her heart belongs to a young boy who is a member of the manachang, the lowest caste.
More recently, local journalist and comedian Chris “Malafunkshun’ Barnett created a new version of Puntan Dos Amåntes in which the tragic love story is now between a girl who attends private school (Academy of Our Lady of Guam) and a boy who attends public school (George Washington High School).
