"I N A Y A N" One word that holds deep meaning and power in the Cordilleras. It is a reminder to do good at all times, to avoid conflicts, and to prevent oneself from doing inhumane acts. It tells us to respect our neighbors, nature, and all living things. When we do, others will also do the same to us and our loved ones. Meanwhile, it is a warning to those who go against the concept of goodness, honesty, and respect. Bad actions will be reciprocated in a negative way. Growing up, elders instilled this value in us and it is what I live by. As my grandfather always tells me and others, "If we lose our value of Inayan, we lose the good relationship we have with our fellowmen and the environment". 📒
