The circumstances of Bukaneg's birth in Samtoy, the old name of the Ilokos region, sometime in 1591, were comparable to those of Moses who was found by the daughter of the Pharaoh, floating in a basket among the reeds of the Nile River. Bukaneg was likewise recovered by a woman, in a tampipi (a valise made of bamboo) that floated along the banks of the Banaoang River which separates Vigan from Bantay in Ilocos Sur. It was a custom of the early natives of Samtoy to kill or bury alive infants born defective to avoid the curse of evil spirits. Being ugly, Bukaneg was also likened to Socrates, the Greek philosopher.
Bukaneg's parents were not known and from infancy to manhood, he was cared for by the Augustinians, first by Fr. Jeronimo Cavero and later by Fr. Francisco Lopez of the Bantay Church. He was baptized Pedro Bukaneg. "Bukaneg" is derived from the Isneg words: Nabuka-an ng Isneg, meaning "a Christianized Isneg."
