Today, I am a little stressed. This all started because of my article titled The Igorots. I have a lot of things to consider about this article and I actually considered stopping this series.
These are some of the things that's bothering me.
Copyright of the picture I used. I know this is really a big factor to consider. Giving the right credits and including the links of the picture are not enough.
I need to do a thorough research about this topic. I know that google is not enough. Also the culture of each ethno-linguistic group are different and need deeper research to be more accurate.
I am getting mixed reactions from an Igorot Facebook page. Both good and bad.
I feel a little bit of pressure. What if what I wrote did not meet their expectations? This made me think twice on continuing this series.
But on the other side, it is something I really want to share. I am also getting a lot of support which I am very thankful.
They give support and even resources where I can get pictures without copyright. The admin also of the facebook page allowed me to use some of his photos and even offered help if I need some information or clarification.
Below are some of the screenshots of the supports I'm getting and these are more than enough for me to continue the series.
So for all of these people who are helping me, thank you so much. 😊
I think this is a great subject, the Igorots. Don't feel discouraged by the problems with copyright and sources; take your time, do it properly without feeling stressed, and it will be a great series. If I can be of any further assistance, just let me know.
