Before reading, what's your expectations of the title?
I am a full blooded Igorot. An indigenous tribe in the northern part of Luzon and I belong to the Bontok ethnolinguistic group.Like our forefathers before us, we live in simplicity but not left behind by civilization. We reside in the mountains as it is what's surrounding us.
Our ancestors live mainly on root crops, it was believed that our village produce the sweetest of sweet potatoes,beans and legumes, and rice. The streams or river was once aplenty of big edible water creatures,crabs and small fishes we call gadiw which is catch until today. Wild 🐗, deers and other mountain dwelling animals were also hunted even to this days.
The Igorot people however, was and still is a victim of racism.The following article,I hope would give enlightenment to others.
We are rich jn folklores and legends. This article is one among them.
Folklore:Descendants of the Star
If in supernatural beings we were rich, the Igorot is much more richer in culture and traditions, one among them is the Bayanihan:Very Alive in Our Village
Moreover, these traditions and beliefs protect us from local and foreign aggressions thru sweet words and promises. But our forefathers knew better. Dam was once proposed in another municipality but it was rejected same with our very own village. Promises of its benefits to the villagers were pledge but we knew better, our mountains are rich in natural resources as well as minefal resources that villagers knew those people are after with.And the destruction of these mountains would bring great devastation to the village in the near future.The good thing is, youths also contributed in the opposition of the so-called proposal.
If looking for adventures, we got lots to offer. A Glimpse of Nature in our place and going into the wild
