Batanga (also transcribed Fatanga) is a named human figure in the Bontoc cycle of Lumawig, the sky-descended culture hero. When Lumawig looked down from the sky he saw two sisters gathering beans at Lanao and came down to court them; the younger, Fukan, told him that her father's name was Batanga. After Lumawig astonished the family by miraculously filling their baskets with beans and multiplying their livestock, Batanga, delighted, offered his elder daughter as a wife, but Lumawig said he preferred the younger, and so married Fukan. Batanga is thus remembered as the father of Fukan and the earthly father-in-law of Lumawig, standing at the junction where the divine culture hero was joined to a Bontoc human family. He is one of the few individually named mortals in the Bontoc oral tradition, appearing in the ethnographic records of Jenks and Seidenadel and in Cole's retelling.
