<br />
However, they are sang by local folks from these provinces.
Cordilleran songs are full of awesome melodies and lyrics.<br />
<br />
There are soulful love songs and quick warrior songs.
The usual accompaniment is the guitar as it’s handy and easy to carry around.<br />
<br />
It would have been superb if there were songs accompanied by the Kalinga flute.<br />
<br />
And the gongs (gangsa) would have been a great accompaniment to rock songs, don’t you think?<br />
<br />
Anyway, watch these videos and learn more about the Cordillerans and their music.<br />
<br />
There are Bontoc, Benguet, Ifugao, and Kalinga songs.<br />
<br />
Some of them are in the dialect.
Most of the songs are original compositions.<br />
<br />
But there are some that are covers of popular songs. For these videos, I want listeners to appreciate the voice of the singers.<br />
<br />

Igorot costumes are similar to Kalinga costumes; however, there are certain differences that an observant could notice.<br />
<br />
Let’s discuss them in detail.<br />

<h2>
Kalinga Ginamat </h2>
<br />
<br />
In Kalinga, the ginamat is a rectangular woven material that usually measures 4 to 5 feet long and 3 to 3.5 inches wide.<br />
<br />
This is for women and is worn as a skirt by winding it around the waist and hooking it up at the ends. Unlike the Bontocs, the ginamats for Kalingas don’t have an accompanying ‘tail’ or ginamat back extensions.<br />
<br />

There may be beads incorporated into the colorful ginamat’s design but no belts or additional appendages. This is one of the Kalinga native costumes that have intricate designs.<br />
<br />
During the olden times, women wore only the ginamat without any upper clothing. Thus, women are topless, especially married and old women.<br />
<br />
The clothing is entirely hand woven, done by ingenious women, who patiently created art through their woven materials.<br />
<br />
Up to this day, back in the provinces, ginamats are still hand woven. However, in the big cities, some machines were built to facilitate the procedure of weaving the ginamat.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Kalinga G-string </h2>
<br />
<br />
This Kalinga native costume is worn by men to hide their lower private parts. It’s similar to the ginamat but narrower and longer.<br />
<br />

<br />
It usually measures more than 5 feet in length but is only around ¾ foot in width.
It’s worn by winding the woven material on the waist and the lower private parts to secure the G-string.<br />
<br />
Typically, the cheeks of the buttocks are not covered but only the anal and penile areas. There’s also no upper clothing for men - just the G-string.<br />
<br />
For other Cordillera regions the G-strings are the same, except perhaps with the designs. Nowadays, The G-strings are wider to be able to cover most of the buttocks.<br />
<br />
But still, briefs are not worn, but only the G-string.
And yes, the Kalingas are now wearing trendy clothes, just like their urban counterparts.<br />
<br />
Ginamats and G-strings are only worn during cultural festivities and special occasions.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Kalinga Accessories Worn with the Ginamat</h2>
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Kalinga Bongor.</h2>
<br />
<br />
The bongor is a string of beads worn like a necklace. The beads are genuine gems and are valuable.<br />
<br />
Kalinga women who had bongors are usually the affluent and people who have high positions in the village. The bigger the beads are, the richer the person is.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Often, one piece of these genuine beads is worth 1 carabao. And the carabao is an expensive animal because it’s used as a work animal.<br />
<br />
Hence, you can just imagine how expensive the beads are.
Perhaps, comparing to the present price of carabaos, it could cost around 7 thousand to 10 thousand pesos.<br />
<br />
The present generation has created native beads that could be worn on top of the head on the wrist (bracelet) and feet (anklet).<br />
<br />
<h2>
Kalinga Headdress </h2>
<br />
<br />
Aside from women wearing headdresses, men can also wear them. Sometimes, the “crown” is adorned with feathers and natural items.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJEx97sLFkEpdxksiBDN5PxfWQvW7Adb6LLg5aPk05cYtwgE1ljwRoLlEBtMTgv4qmxLONZ9qK7QIOWUbKoXYxqLiXmVa3qiNwCgl65r2R_38Xtw5OFcr_Dlj0HqMwPWdqPFZhkZ5aHVc/s1600/1BENY+kalinga.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="266" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJEx97sLFkEpdxksiBDN5PxfWQvW7Adb6LLg5aPk05cYtwgE1ljwRoLlEBtMTgv4qmxLONZ9qK7QIOWUbKoXYxqLiXmVa3qiNwCgl65r2R_38Xtw5OFcr_Dlj0HqMwPWdqPFZhkZ5aHVc/s640/1BENY+kalinga.JPG" width="424" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Presently, Kalingas have become more ingenious, creating beautiful headdresses.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Tattoo,</h2>
<br />
<br />
Although this is not an accessory in the true meaning of the word, it’s considered as one because people with tattoos were highly respected.<br />
<br />
Tattoos are indications of bravery and high prestige.
The younger Kalinga generation; however, are not so keen in having themselves tattooed because they may be discriminated on.<br />
<br />
This is understandable as tattoos are prohibited in most schools, in blood donation, and in other significant events and institutions.<br />
<br />
Almost all of the elders are tattooed, and they are proud of their ethnicity.<br />
<br />
These are the basic Kalinga costumes worn during the olden days.<br />
<br />
Of course, with the passage of time, the native Kalinga costume underwent some changes.<br />
<br />
Nowadays, Kalinga women wear blouses during cultural presentations.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
But take note that there was a time when women were topless, and people in the village didn’t find anything malicious with it; they were not embarrassed at all.<br />
<br />
Only the men remain topless and semi-nude.<br />
<br />
So, there you go, these are the descriptions of the<b> basic Kalinga costumes.</b><br />
<br />
You can view the images to have an idea how they look like.<br />

Whatever emotions they provoke, poignant memories are luxuries enjoyed by aged people, while there are still neurons that can recall momentous events in their lives.<br />
<br />
These memories are like jewels coming to their brilliance when the physical body can no longer venture to the outside world, but the mind is still alive and kicking.<br />

<br />
<br />
For me, my beautiful memories when I was a kid in Taloctoc, Tanudan in the Hinterlands of Kalinga are my most precious jewels. And even in my dreams, they keep recurring, like a long-playing record, never wanting to end.<br />
<br />
Let me share these memories with you.<br />
<br />
<b>Water is precious </b><br />
<br />
During my time, there was still no running water in this little paradise. We have to fetch water from a well that was dug in the riverbank. You may not believe it when I say that the water has a distinct sweet taste that I have never tasted from other water sources.<br />
<br />
You can understand what I mean, if you have drank from a river-well too.
I was only 7 years old then, but I have to balance a big pot on my head from the river to our modest house. It was around 2 km away, and a little uphill.<br />
<br />
Plus, I had to fill our water container until it was full. It was hard work, but it introduced me to the notion that to be able to drink, you have to endure the hardships.<br />
<br />
<b>The supernatural exists </b><br />
<br />
There was also a big tamarind tree in our backyard that used to visit me in my dreams, even up to this day. The tree was as tall as a three-story building, and it was robustly thriving all year through, with an abundance of fruits.<br />
<br />
We never took care of it, but there it was proudly standing high, waving its evergreen leaves at the sky –defiantly – seeming to proclaim that no matter what – it will survive on its own.
I’m assuming that the tree is where those eerie shadows emanated from.<br />
<br />
During night time there were shadows that I had encountered that suddenly disappears when I spoke. One time, I thought the shadow was my younger brother, so I called out to him, but it disappeared right before my very eyes. It was scary, and at my young age, I have considered it a common occurrence in my village.<br />
<br />
<b>Firebirds </b><br />
<br />
I have witnessed firebirds perched atop the rooftop of a soon-to-be-deceased person. Having a firebird visit your house when you’re sick is a death sentence. “Matoy sinsinna e algaw.” (He may die today.)<br />
<br />
The bird had feathers that glow red during the night and produced a loud cooing that was heard a mile away; the sound seeming to call the dying person into the afterlife. However, today, I don’t think the strange bird survived the onslaught of development.<br />
<br />
<b>Summer paradise </b><br />
<br />
During summer, after working in the fields the whole day, we spend our late afternoons in the Chico River swimming and diving, filling our ravenous stomachs with wild berries and sweet guavas that grew abundantly in the riverbank.<br />
<br />
We also went fishing using our bare hands. It was easy catching the small school of fishes as the water was shallow and all we did was to dry up the water bed. When it starts to get dark, we finally went home, exhausted but beaming with childhood glee.<br />
<br />
Oh, yes of course, we swim in the nude. Everyone was naked but no one saw malice in it.
I could go on and on, talking about my childhood days in Taloctoc, Tanudan, Kalinga, but the space for this post won’t suffice. So, let’s do it on installment basis.<br />
<br />
While you're here, you may want to read more of my experiences in these posts:<br />

<br />
I would like to invite you to my village –Taloctoc, the paradise I had known as a child; the tranquil verdant mountains, the clear, rambling Chico river, and the unadulterated air in the atmosphere. Intakkon od Taloctoc, Kalinga! (Let’s visit Taloctoc, Kalinga!)
<br />
<br />
More stories next time folks.
Let me share first this video of a Taloctoc – Ilocano chant we had usually recited when we were young:<br />
<br />
Dong dong kawayan<br />
Kawayan pinanggayan<br />
Pinanggayan de olay<br />
Olay e pagay uppay<br />
Pagay uppay e dogway<br />
Dogway e namillapil<br />
Namillapil nang ngasil<br />
Nang-ngasil dala-upa<br />
Dala-upa kataba<br />
Kataba pagiyokan<br />
Dali-dali-itan<br />
Ipos ti kabayo<br />
a napiko-piko<br />
Alam ta kanem.<br />
<br />

I speak from my childhood experience way back during the olden days in Taloctoc, Tanudan. Hence, some of you may no longer be practicing these simple ways. Nevertheless, I’m compelled to write these customs and way of living, so you can go back to them every now and then. They’re worth emulating.<br />
<br />
1. Christmas was usually celebrated by a simple program presented by the elementary students of our small village. This program was organized by the only female and the only non-i-Taloctoc teacher. A mass was celebrated by a visiting priest, if there was one. If none, then the program was enough. Some families cooked special dishes and some did not.<br />
<br />
During night time, the kids went caroling. Some girls and boys lighted up bonfires and sang the salidummay. Christmas was not a major holiday back then. I went caroling with some kids and there were old people who didn’t want to be bothered from their sleep:
“Umma ko-on yo? Laydon yo danum?” (What are you doing? Do you want water?) They would shout as they proceeded to get a pail of cold water to douse us with.<br />
<br />
So, we ran out of reach, while shouting, “You’re stingy!”<br />
<br />
I guess times have changed now. I would like to read your comments about the updates that are happening now. You can leave them in the comment section below.<br />
<br />

2. With regards to daily meals, freshly picked fish was cooked by simmering it in water only, with a few cloves of garlic or a piece of ginger. We sometimes washed the fish, wrapped them in banana leaves and placed them inside bamboo poles, cut into foot-long pieces. Then we cooked the fish over low fire.<br />
<br />
You wouldn’t believe how delicious this fish dish is. The natural flavor of the fish is mixed with the aroma of fresh banana leaves.
3. Freshly butchered pig meat, yes, everything was fresh. We didn’t have refrigerators, so we plucked the veggies, and butchered the animal right before we had cooked them.<br />
<br />
All we needed was water to cook the meat. Of course, we have cut them into cubes first before boiling with water. NO CONDIMENTS. I would never forget its delectable taste.<br />
<br />
However, we had ground red pepper with rock salt in a saucer, where we would dip the meat before eating it. Yes, we didn’t mix the condiments with the meat when cooking, because it masked the natural and fresh flavor of the meat.<br />
<br />
4. Likewise with veggies and other dishes; we simply boil them with water. Try it sometime, when you’re sure that your vegetables are fresh from the garden. I promise you, you would be able to taste the real flavor of the food.<br />
<br />
5. As for clothing, we were not very particular. As long as the clothes are clean, and our private parts are covered, we wear them. So, we often saw people with holes or tears on their clothes. But mind you, don’t judge by appearances because that old woman with tattered clothes may be the wealthiest person in their village.<br />
<br />
They could actually be owners of gold pieces (yes, genuine gold) and layers of rice paddies.<br />
<br />
6. Every person lived simply and there were no places for complexity – even during Christmas time.<br />
<br />
This Christmas, I wish all the i-Kalingas, all tribes in the mountains, and all people around the world a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May you fulfill all your dreams in this lifetime and be a blessing to others.

You may have the impression that I’m boastful and just pulling your leg, but I’m not. I’ve witnessed this honesty first hand during my childhood days.<br />
<br />
Obviously, there may be inevitable changes today. But I’m declaring that Kalinga people are inherently honest. Let me mention specific circumstances to support my claim:<br />
<br />
<b>1. Houses were never locked </b><br />
<br />
In our village, sometimes, I and my friends played hide and seek inside empty houses. The old folks were all in the field or kaingin working. <br />
<br />
The tots were left behind – including me - some naked, and some with snots and morning glories in their eyes; some with mud and soil on their bodies. But we rarely got sick. We have developed significant immunity against certain diseases. We were too young to work, so we took care of ourselves and eat whatever was left by the elders.<br />
<br />
But wait, we’re going off topic. So, the houses were unlocked. We opened the door and freely entered. Valuable items were left lying around and no one ever coveted or stole someone else’s property.<br />
<br />
Of course, there’s no such Utopia anywhere, so there was one man who was tempted to steal a goat. Yes, a goat; animals were very valuable then. The entire village witnessed his ‘trial’ with the village leader resolving the issue. He never repeated his misdeed again.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>2. Marriages were not documented on paper</b><br />
<br />
During marriages, a ‘taddok’ (playing of gongs) was rendered by various groups. Then a pig or carabao was slaughtered for food. “Basi” (wine) was shared and the merriment continued up to the wee hours of dawn. <br />
<br />
Big bonfires were built at the center of the plaza and girls and boys sang the “salidummay’, while flirting with one another. The old men and women talked among themselves, recalling phenomenal events in the village. There were many weird and strange encounters with supernatural beings and ghosts.<br />
<br /> <br/>
<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
style="display:block; text-align:center;"

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>
<br>
The couple then would live as husband and wife, without proper documentation of their marriage. I guess this doesn’t apply nowadays. One has to possess a paper stating that she is legally married to Mr. so and so.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, I’m attempting to show you how it was in the olden days. Those marriage vows were lasting. Couples stayed together through thick and thin. They resolved any misunderstanding and remained true to their oral vows. That was how honest people were.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Verbal agreements are honored</b><br />
<br />
You don’t need a paper and a signature to legalize agreements. You simply state your agreements verbally and it was sealed permanently. The folk honored them and never questioned their legality. <br />
<br />
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a society such as this one? <br />
<br />
Today, I’m sure this custom still exists in Kalinga villages. This may not be true with the cities and bigger provinces because these places are melting pots; people come from a variety of foreign places.<br />

Gardening in Taloctoc, Kalinga was never a problem because the soil is rich and fertile. You can plant any veggies and it will spring robustly from the ground.<br />
<br />
My mother and I had one such camote garden below the teacher’s quarters. We cultivated camote (sweet potato), pechay (Chinese white cabbage) and various edible veggies in out small garden plots.<br />
<br />

<br />
They grew robustly that we had harvested big camote tubers and also camote tops. The camote tubes were delicious desserts, while the camote tops were nutrition and sumptuous side dishes.
We could survive just harvesting our produce from that garden. How I miss those days.<br />
<br />
A gardener should be aware of what root crops have edible leaves. This is because he would be able to maximize the plants’ benefits and save money.<br />
<br />
It is a gift from nature that some root crops have edible leaves.
He would also know what parts of the plant he should take care the most.<br />
<br />
He should know what parts of the leaves are good for food. The young shoots are the best part of the leaves because they are fresher, more tender and edible. The following are some of these root crops.
<br />
<h2>
Edible Leaves of Root Crops</h2>
<h3>
Sweet Potato</h3>
The sweet potato is a tuber that could be cooked as dessert. The tasty roots are usually boiled with sugar and milk. The young shoots could be cooked as a succulent vegetable dish, too. Even the green young stems are also nutritious and edible. The tuber could be steamed, fried, roasted, or boiled.
<br />
<h3>
Radish</h3>
The radish has edible leaves and tubes. In addition, it is rich with essential nutrients, such as vitamin C. People should select the top, leafy part of the vegetable for cooking because they are tastier and easily masticated. The leaves can be cooked with fish or in combination with other vegetables.
<br />
<h3>
Onion</h3>
The bulb of the onion is an excellent ingredient to bring out the flavor of dishes. It is used as a common condiment with almost any dish, whether this is a vegetable or meat dish.
The leaves of the onion could also be sautéed or cooked together with the bulb to spice up food and come up with succulent cuisine. The bulb could be cut into small pieces and boiled with meat and fish dishes too.

<br>
<h3>
Ginger</h3>
Just like onion, ginger is a delicious spice that could be mixed with any dish. The leaves and the rhizomes could be cooked together to spice food. They also lend a scrumptious odor to the dish. Sometimes, they could be used as therapeutic drinks for people suffering from sore throat and mouth infections.
<br />
<h3>
Taro</h3>
Also called elephant’s ear, the taro’s tuber and leaves are equally edible as vegetable dishes. Both should be cooked thoroughly though, because the calcium oxalate crystals they contain are irritating to the mouth. The leaves and tuber could be cooked with coconut juice to add flavor.
<br />
<h3>
Turmeric</h3>
Turmeric is the same family as ginger. It is used as a spice to add flavor to dishes. Its leaves are also edible and have the same role in preparing delicious cuisine. The rhizomes could be cut into small strips and sautéed, or grated and added to dishes.<br />
<br />
These are some root crops which have delicious and edible leaves. Knowledge of their usefulness could allow people to experiment and prepare delicious dishes that would satisfy even the most fastidious tongue.<br />
<br />

The meaning of the kiss, however, varies with each country.<br />
<br />
Kisses have always been an expression of love, care and concern. Knowing the meaning of a kiss in different parts of the world would allow you to understand more the customs governing countries across the world.<br />

<h2>
Kissing in India</h2>
<br />
<br />
Indians are very particular about their public display of affection. Kissing in public is generally condemned. One incident that had caused an uproar among Indians is American actor Richard Gere’s kissing of Indian actress, Shilpa Shetty.<br />
<br />
Most Indians were aghast with Gere’s light kiss on Shetty’s cheeks, and they find it insulting. Indian showbiz personalities and some of the younger generation, however, are more liberated, and found no malice in Gere’s actions.<br />
<br />
As a rule, though, do not kiss any person in public to play safe in India. In Delhi, a public kiss would be fined $12. In private, only married couples could kiss on the lips, and sometimes, a kiss on the cheeks and a hug from family members is allowed.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Kissing in Saudi Arabia</h2>
<br />
<br />
Kissing in public, whether it is on the lips or on the cheeks, and whether it is among couples or relatives is strictly prohibited. It is considered a crime to show affection in public. A British man and woman were jailed for one month because<br />
<br />
they were caught kissing in the mall in front of other people. Most Middle Eastern countries consider kissing in public as indecent and immoral and are given sanctions.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Kissing in Italy</h2>
<br />
<br />
Italians kiss in public or in private with their spouses, their family members, and friends. They show affection by hugging and kissing without lending any malice to the kiss unless specifically intended. They are expressive of how they feel. Just like in any civilized country, there is a limit to what they can do in public.<br />
<br />
<kissing h2="" in="" states="" the="" united=""></kissing>
Of all the countries in the world, Americans are the most demonstrative of their affection and love. They kiss in public anywhere they want to. A few of them even engage in orgies, and unusual sexual expressions.<br />
<br />
There are laws concerning lewdness and indecency, though, that foreigners should be aware of. Decent people do not just make love in public places, and sanctions are given to those who flagrantly violate the law.<br />
<br />
Although, gay relationships are now accepted in some states, several people still view gay kissing in public as an affront to their sensibilities.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Kissing in London</h2>
<br />
<br />
<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
style="display:block; text-align:center;"
data-ad-layout="in-article"
data-ad-format="fluid"
data-ad-client="ca-pub-0414125100339251"
data-ad-slot="9288844113"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>
<br>
Kissing in public in London is fine if the persons do not French kiss. A light kiss on the lips and the cheeks is accepted. You would be charged with indecency, nevertheless, if you do heavy necking and petting in public.<br />
<br />
In comparison to the Americans, the British are more conservative in their public display of affection.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Kissing in the Philippines</h2>
<br />
<br />
Filipinos are like their Southeast Asian neighbors, they display public affection sparingly. Couples could kiss each other’s lips and cheeks in public. Family and friends could greet each other with a kiss on the cheeks and a hug.<br />
<br />
Sanctions are given to persons who do more than the light kiss. They would be charged with indecency and immorality and would be fined and incarcerated depending upon the gravity of their offenses.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Kissing in Kalinga</h2>
<br />
<br />
In Kalinga, kissing someone is a private affair that cannot be done publicly. The young i-Kalingas are bolder now, and some can kiss (on the cheeks) in public.<br />
<br />
However, kissing on the lips in front of many people is still taboo. The groom kissing the bride in a wedding is acceptable though, and rare occasions when couples are allowed to kiss on the lips.<br />
<br />
Kissing customs vary for each country, so when you visit other countries you should be familiar with their culture. If unsure of the customs, then don’t do it. It is always best to play safe to avoid unnecessary pain and embarrassment.<br />
<br />
<br />

know at least the basic practices that they observe. As the cliché goes, “When
you’re in Rome, do what the Romans do.” To help you enjoy your stay in Kalinga,
here are Top 5 practices or customs you may want to learn. Of course, these are
ancient practices, which may no longer be observed in large households, but
still, it pays to learn about them.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Custom #1 – You must take off your shoes when
entering their dwellings</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There are various cultures that observe this
practice. In Korea, people take off their shoes and wear indoor slippers or go barefoot
inside their abodes. In Kalinga, it’s a sign of respect not to allow the dirt
on your shoes to touch the floor because in small huts, the old folks sleep on
the floor. Kalingas are clean people, they keep their small house spic and
span. They usually go barefoot and wash up before entering their homes.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Custom #2 – Water/<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">coffee</span> is offered to visitors to
show that they’re welcomed</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If you’re not offered water/coffee or anything to
drink when you stepped on their homes, it means they don’t welcome you into
their houses. A water/coffee offering is their way of acknowledging you as their
visitor and responsibility. Hence, they’ll see to it that you’re secure and
safe during your stay. (Thanks,<b> Limmon Langngag </b>for the info).</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Custom #3 – If you refuse the food they
offer, they’ll consider it an insult</span></div>

unless you’re an accidental visitor.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When you encounter topless women and naked
people taking a bath without any cover, don’t be embarrassed. Although, i-Kalingas
are now fully clothed and wear undies when taking a bath, the old folk may be
in their birthday suits. There’s no malice in this practice. Adam and Eve wear
nothing until they have sinned and noticed their nakedness. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The old folk are not into fancy designs and
the like when they dress up. They are contented with clean clothing. However, the
ginamats and g-strings are proudly worn during special events. </span><br />

Some are outrageously funny and some are outright lies. To help you classify the facts from the lies, here are 5 lies about the Kalinga people.<br />

<u><span style="color: blue;"><b>5 lies about the i-Kalingas</b></span></u><br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: blue;"><b>Lie #1 – Majority of i-Kalingas are dressed in G-strings</b></span></i><br />
<br />
It might surprise you to know that the i-Kalingas are now unrecognizable amidst a crowd because they dress exactly like everyone. The young Kalinga natives may even be more fashionable than you are. They only wear the native costumes during cultural events or during presentations of their culture. Some old folk in the villages may still wear the G-strings (for men) and the ginamat (for women), but these are few.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>Lie #2 – They are head-hunters</b></i></span><br />
<br />
Well, this is true during the olden times when tribal wars were rampant. Today, there are still tribal wars and “bodongs” (peace pacts), but they don’t use bolos anymore, now they use guns instead. C’mon. I’m not saying that it’s a common occurrence. I’m just trying to explain that the Kalinga people are now advanced with regards to technology.<br />
<br />
<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

data-ad-slot="9288844113"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>Lie #3 – They are barbarians</b></i></span><br />
<br />
Quit the thought that mountain people are barbarians. Numerous i-Kalingas are learned and dignified people who are now in government, in the academe, in the entertainment industry and in science and technology. They are intelligent people who have new and bright ideas. The esteemed person next to you may be and i-Kalinga and you’re not even aware of it.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>Lie #4 – They are poor</b></i></span><br />
<br />
This is a major mistake you can be committing. That simple i-Kalinga lady wearing an ordinary dress is an owner of several rice paddies in their village. She may even have hidden ingots of gold in her treasure chest at home. Kalinga people are not extravagant in dressing up to the nines, so don’t judge by appearances.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>Lie #5 – They are naïve</b></i></span><br />
<br />
Ooops, as previously mentioned, don’t judge by appearances. They may appear naïve because of how simple they dress and live but this is an outright lie. Kalinga people are highly intuitive of things and events around them. Hence, treat them smartly for your own good.
Have you heard other lies about the Kalinga people? If you agree or disagree with this list you can leave a comment on the comment box below. Your thoughts and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Apparently, there seems to be a problem! So what may these problems be?<br />

Here are the Top 5 possible reasons why your Kalinga man has not proposed marriage. These reasons are opinionated and are based on my own observations. Hence, you can leave your comment below if you don’t agree with me.<br />
<br />
<b> #1 - He perceives you as a girlfriend material only </b><br />
<br />
He’s attracted to you and he’s your boyfriend but he does not perceive you as a wife material. Even during this new generation of women liberation and similar beliefs, at heart, the Kalinga man would still like his wife to be pure and pristine when he marries her.<br />
<br />
Yes, Virginia, virginity matters. No matter how he denies it, he still wants his wife to be a virgin. So, if you want him to marry you, don’t surrender one of the most important things to him – your virginity. Don’t be a playgirl.<br />
<br />
Well, men, in general, would not want their future wives to be “players.” In other words, treasure and respect yourself, and he will likewise do so - enough to ask your hand in marriage.<br />
<br />
<b>#2 – You belong to another economic level </b><br />
<br />
Kalinga men are not particular about economic levels but they prefer women who can speak the same language they speak, in terms of finances; someone they can bring home and not feel uncomfortable with. In case, you belong to the extremes: filthy rich or the poorest of the poor then learn how to follow his leads.<br />

<br>
If he eats on a banana leaf with his bare hands, then you must be able to do so too. If he uses a silver spoon to eat, then you should be able to adjust, as well. His parents would say: “Nuw, umma agumman ne sanat atde koon tako.” (What would she know about our customs?) Learn about the customs of Kalinga, if you’re from another province and you’re not familiar with them.<br />
<br />
<b>#3 – You’re too romantic for his taste </b><br />
<br />
Most women tend to be romantics, but take note that most Kalinga men are not showy of their feelings, so they tend to appear unromantic. They don’t usually hold your hand or demonstrate their affection in public. But it doesn’t mean they love you less. They feel that these affectionate acts should be done in private.<br />
<br />
Therefore, don’t demand from him sweetness and similar things, when in public. If he holds your hand or put his arm around your shoulders, then be thankful for it. But don’t initiate the action. You may appear cheap and clingy.<br />
<br />
<b>#4 – You’re boisterous </b><br />
<br />
Most Kalinga men want their wives quiet and attentive - especially to their men. Kalinga is a patriarchal community where men are heard first before women. They don’t want nagging and noisy wives, who don’t know their places in the household. They would prefer to marry women who are reserved and who respect their authority as men.<br />
<br />
<b>#5 – You’re lazy </b><br />
<br />
One of the good traits of the Kalinga people, in general, is industry. They’re so industrious spending their time working wherever they can. It’s very rare to find someone just being a couch potato. You’ll have more points if you know how to do the dishes, wash, and cook. Of course, he’s not looking for a housemaid, but he would prefer marrying someone who can feed him and his future kids properly - even without a maid.<br />
<br />
These are the Top 5 reasons why your Kalinga boyfriend can’t marry you. Of course, love conquers all. If your boyfriend truly loves you, then nothing can stop him from proposing marriage.<br />
<br />
These are only pointers to help you capture the heart of your Kalinga man. It can also help you gain more “beauty” points to increase your chances of receiving a marriage proposal.<br />

One very popular instrument is the "tungatong" (small bamboo poles cut to specific proportions to produce a particular sound).<br />
<br />
Of course, the leading sound instrument is still the gangsa (gong).

I am an i-Kalinga. I pay homage to my ancestors by following the native customs of honesty, integrity, respect, bravery, industry, and love for family.
I am proud of my heritage and ethnicity.<br />
<br />
I am an i-Kalinga, whose ancestors have carved a name for themselves in the Land of the Brave. From the fascinating view of the world-famous “Sleeping Beauty”, to the swirling waves of the Chico River, and to the fertile flat lands of Tabuk, we, the i-Kalingas, lived with pride and dignity.<br />
<br />
<br />
Our Kalinga history spans an incredibly rich culture of nobility and integrity.
In the olden days, our brave tribes fought against the people who wanted to turn our precious ancestral lands into a hubbub of modern electricity, but our ancestors protected our lands with their sweat, blood and tears – with their lives; thus we are able to maintain our ancestral lands.<br />
<br />

</script>
<br>
This is one Kalinga legacy that we’re proud of: the courage to stand up for our own convictions. When we know it’s the right thing to do, we don’t budge an inch to do what should be done, but when we’re wrong, we take the first step to admit our mistakes and correct our misdeeds.<br />
<br />
Although, it’s an undeniable that we fought among ourselves to maintain what’s sacred and dear to us, in the end, we opted for peace among our tribes with our “bodongs.” Because that’s what our culture is all about; it’s about maintaining peace and unity as the Kalinga people.<br />
<br />
We also welcome change that can promote prompt interactions with our neighboring villages. We have roads now, where there were trails before, and we have safe electricity now, where there were bamboo torches before.<br />
<br />
We try to blend with the influx of modern technology without damaging our cultural roots.
We value our ancestry and culture.<br />
<br />
I wear my Kalinga badge wherever I go. I’m not ashamed to wear it like a priceless medal and certificate of my nobility. I wear it with a song in my heart and a lilt to my steps. I brandish it like an incisive weapon to sever my fears and inadequacies.<br />
<br />
There are countless I-Kalingas deserving of praise, and one of them is this person I’m going to pay homage to.
This i-Kalinga has served with dedication as a public servant for several years, and has an unquestionable integrity that no one can contest.<br />
<br />

<br />
He was once a faculty member of the Taloctoc Elementary School, and was eventually promoted as its principal. He moved on to Pampanga and served as a principal there too, and as a teacher, he has been known to work late hours to ensure that all tasks were done properly.<br />
<br />
He also taught in college at the Baguio Colleges Foundation for many years.<br />
<br />
In all his years as a teacher and a professor, he never placed his self-interest first before his duty. There was once a time that he has severely punished his own daughter for a minor misdemeanor in school in front of all the other pupils to show that not even his children are above the school rules.<br />
<br />
His integrity, dedication to work and honesty have proven that he is a true blooded i-Kalinga; in spite of his ¼ Ilocano ancestry.<br />
<br />
The trait that I most admired in him is his pride in his being an i-Kalinga. Whenever he was asked about his ethnicity, he would proudly state that he is an I-Kalinga. Hence, I learned from him that being a cultural minority is not something to be ashamed of.<br />
<br />
It’s a legacy that everyone must be proud of. He participated in many activities meant to promote the Kalinga culture, and has even wrote a book that would trace his Kalinga ancestry.<br />
<br />
He always boasted about the songs, culture and legends of Kalinga to all interested visitors, regaling them with <a href="http://theclamorofkalinga.blogspot.com/2015/09/eulogy-to-true-i-taloctoc-kalinga.html" target="_blank">the Legend of the Sleeping Beauty</a> <a href="http://theclamorofkalinga.blogspot.com/2008/03/bodong-peace-pact.html" target="_blank">The Bodong</a>, and other Taloctoc folklore.<br />
<br />
Listen to the Ilocano version of the sleeping beauty, and an anecdote as told by the subject of this post: Sound videos are courtesy of Lydia and Tess.<br />

<br />
The bayanihan spirit of the i-Kalinga is demonstrated by the way that fellow i-Kalingas come together as one to console the relatives of the dead.<br />
<br />
I personally witnessed this during his wake and interment, where the I-Kalinga’s the i–Taloctocs, and of course, the relatives by affinity, showed their compassion and respect for their elders.<br />
<br />
Kin from the far-flung places of Kalinga came to pay their last respects to him.<br />
<br />
The first cousins and relatives from the father side, led by Manong Rodolfo and group, the first cousins and relatives from the mother side led by Auntie Edna and group, were there to condole and console.<br />
<br />
Most special thanks to the host family; Rene and Gina and relatives and the people of Labayug for their prayers, sympathy and help. <br />

<br />There were various contributions such as, rice, pigs, carabao, and many items that the wake and funeral can make use of. These came not only from the i-Kalingas, but also from colleagues from various professions, our non-iKalinga friends and relatives, and all those who have joined us in our hour of grief. <br />
<br />
This shower of respect and empathy has made us bear the loss less heavily.<br />
<br />
“<b><i>Dakkol e pasalamat kanakayo losan</i></b>.”<br />
<br />
I salute this true i-Kalinga, this true i-Taloctoc, because he has not only shown how a loving parent should be but also because he has taught me how to be proud of my heritage as an i-Kalinga.<br />
<br />
Bon voyage, Sir Manolo! Safe and happy journey to you! <br />
<br />
I tip my hat to you, Papa! Till we meet again.<br />
<br />

<h3>
<b>Male native costume </b></h3>
<br />
The “bag” (bahag) is the common costumes for male Igorots or Kalingas. It is a long woven material about 10 to 15 inches wide and 3 to 5 feet long.<br />
<br />
<br />
Its main purpose is to cover the man’s private parts. It’s firmly secured at the waist to prevent the clothing from falling off and to ensure that it covers the male organs safely and properly.<br />
<br />

Traditionally, there are no upper clothes for men. Tattoos are common in the upper body. The amount of tattoos indicates the male’s authority in the village.<br />
<br />
It can also denote how many enemies he has slain with his spear or bolo.
Some Igorot or Kalinga costumes include a head gear adorned with feathers, and some arm bands.<br />

<b>Female native costume </b></h3>
<br />
On the other hand, the female Igorot or Kalinga costume consists of a large rectangular woven clothing about 3 to 5 feet wide, and 3 to 4 feet long.<br />
<br />
It’s simply worn like a skirt and secured around the waist.
In the olden times, there were also no upper clothing for women, but as the modern era has come to influenced the new generation, earth colored blouses are now worn.<br />
<br />
There are still some villages where married women go topless with the older generations. The new generation though has decided to wear upper clothing for decency purposes.
However, going topless during the olden days was not considered indecent.<br />
<br />
Men didn’t eye women with impure thoughts, and there were no cases of rape. It was like Adam and Eve existing in the Garden of Eden before Eve got tempted by the devil.<br />
<br />
During those times, being nude is pure and innocent and not an indecent exposure.
The native beads or “bongol” in the Kalinga dialect usually adorns the woman’s upper body.<br />
<br />
The weight and amount of beads in the “bongol” indicate the status of the woman.<br />
<br />
Richer and nobler women have heavier and multi-layered “bongols”.
Here are some Igorot/Kalinga costumes:<br />

Sagada, Mt. Province is as beautiful as the rest of its neighboring provinces, Bontoc, Kalinga, Benguet and Apayao. It's part of the Ifugao province.
It's famous for its tourists spots such as, the burial sites and underground river. Its sunset and sunrise views are also phenomenal.
Here are photos captured by Cioux Casala and company, who went there for a short but fruitful vacation. Thanks for lending me the pictures, Cioux.

Lubuagan holds numerous poignant memories for me because it’s where I spent my early teen years.<br />
<br />
St. Teresita’s School (STS) was where I pursued my secondary education…the place just remains indelible in my memory because of so many "firsts".<br />
<br />
STS is ran by nuns. Yes! And I stayed in the dormitory for girls where strict compliance of rules is implemented.<br />
<br />
We had breakfast at 6 to 7 am, lunch at 11 to 12:30, and dinner at 6 to 7 p.m. Any late comers won’t be served any meal. We have also to consume everything that was served, whether we liked it or not.<br />
<br />
We prayed several times a day; before and after going to sleep, before and after eating meals and any occasion the nuns deemed it appropriate to pray.<br />
<br />
Mass was held every day and we were “encouraged to attend”.<br />
<br />
The Holidays of Obligation were compulsory mass attendance for us…or else.<br />
<br />
Well, I appreciate all that I have learned from that Catholic institution because it has become a part of me now.<br />
<br />
Here’s a picture of the school, courtesy of<span style="color: blue;"> Demetrio Buenavista</span>. Thanks for the pic.<br />

This is because there are various aspects that one has to consider to get that perfect shot. This does not mean though that photographers should abandon this tremendous challenge. The following are tips in capturing vibrant and colorful wildlife images.<br />
<br />

*<b>You don’t have to use an expensive camera</b> – It is how you use it creatively that counts. No matter how expensive your camera is, if you do not know how to use it effectively, then it is useless. Before snapping those wildlife photos, or shooting a video, familiarize yourself first with the proper functions of your camera.<br />
<br />
<b>*Ascertain you have different lenses when you need them</b> – Zooming in is not always needed, especially if you want to capture the surrounding spectacular landscape. The view of the habitat of <br />
a wildlife animal could add to the character of your photograph or film. Know when to zoom in, and when not to.<br />
<br />
<b>*Use different angles for your shots</b> – A different angle can provide a new perspective for your audience. You can take shots lying down, sitting, skywards, or standing up. You can shoot the image vertically or horizontally. Your creativity will come to the picture. Think out of the box, to capture extraordinary images from ordinary scenes.<br />
<br />
<b>*Provide the animal some space</b> – You can get near to shoot images, but not too near to <br />
endanger yourself or scare the animal. Your photos should depict naturally the animal in its peaceful and natural environment. Generally, the safe distance is 15 to 20 feet.<br />
<br />
<b>*Use your shutter speed to vary shots</b> – Your shutter speed can make your pictures or films unique. You can decrease or increase the speed. You can lengthen the time of exposure or shorten it to capture different photos of the same animal. Some photographers come up with amazing pictures using these methods.<br />
<br />
<b>*Take a handy tripod with you</b> – Even if your hands are steady, there are shots that need a tripod. It is also better if your camera is stable on a tripod because pictures could be more vivid and clear. There are light, handy tripods that you can easily carry around with you.<br />
<br />
<b>*Use the camera’s continuous shooting mode</b> – This would allow you conveniently to capture sudden moments when the wildlife around you goes extremely mobile. You have to be ready to capture those momentous unguarded moments of animal life that may never occur again.<br />
<br />
<b>*Capture the eyes of the animal</b> - Make the eyes of the animal the focal point of most of your shots. These would turn an ordinary shot into a riveting one.<br />
<br />
These are simple tips that could help anyone who want to capture the beauty and wonder of wildlife. The crucial thing to remember is that safety comes first, because animals have that natural instinct to defend themselves to survive.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741520379296942057.post-24674277564558627292015-06-24T08:22:00.001-07:002015-06-24T08:22:13.545-07:00The Kalinga Male Costume, the G-String<br />
<br />
Just like so many Igorot costumes, the Kalinga male costume is basically only a G-string.<br />
<br />
A G-string is a long strip of woven cloth that a male wears around his waist to cover his manhood.<br />
<br />
Tying the woven cloth at the waist will ensure that it won’t fall down.
There are no upper shirts or clothing for natives.<br />

For women, ethnic beads are used instead.<br />
<br />
Nowadays, however, the Kalinga costumes are now modernized with upper thin fabrics as blouses and undershirts for men.<br />
<br />
The Kalinga male costume keeps on evolving as more and more folks are exposed to fashion in the cities and towns.<br />
<br />
But the Kalinga ethnic costume will always retain its vivacity in color and style.<br />

Among the ethnic Igorot groups, the Kalinga costumes stands out because it combines the beauty of all the other native clothing.<br />
<br />
<br />
The "bongol" necklace made of rare beads can indicate the standing of a person; the thicker the "bongol" is the more affluent the person is. The quality of the beads denotes also the person's standing in the community.<br />
<br />
<br />
The beads are made up of rare stones and gems, which may have originated from China, Malaysia and other foreign lands. It was believed that the ancient i-Kalingas traded with foreign people during the olden times.<br />
<br />
<br />
For Kalinga males, the G-string is the popular ethnic costume. <br />

Nature and the ecosystem have a way of maintaining balance so that each flora and fauna would support and balance life.<br />
<br />
Mother earth heals herself but people have to help her do it. One way that a community can aid mother earth to do this is by helping to preserve and conserve wildlife.<br />

<br />
Wildlife has a role to play in the ecosystem. Just like lizards who feed on mosquitoes to balance the multiplication of these harmful insects, wildlife also helps in the balance of the ecosystem.<br />
<br />
Here are other reasons why humanity should do this.<br />
<br />
Wildlife is part of the balance of nature and the ecosystem. They interact with the environment and with this interaction other creatures survive and others are controlled.<br />
<br />
Scientists may not have discovered all the wonderful benefits that we could derive in the preservation of wildlife.<br />
<br />
It is a fact though that Mother Earth has a way of obtaining balance and this process could affect man’s existence in Mother Earth’s soil.<br />
<br />
Wildlife can also add to a country’s economy through the exciting creatures and plants, and plant products it could provide.<br />
<br />
There is also a scientific value of wildlife. It is only by studying wildlife that early processes and occurrences are discovered and created.<br />
<br />
When people maintain wildlife, the circle of life is maintained and hence man’s survival as well.
The role of the conservation and preservation of wildlife is crucial because it also helps to maintain the natural balances of the ecosystem.<br />
<br />
The IUCN releases now and then a list of the threatened species to make the world aware of these wildlife threatened species.<br />
<br />
Lions, seabirds, and some species of lions and tigers are among the list. Even amphibians are declining in population, like the golden toads.<br />
<br />
Scientists also noticed a decline in primates, such as monkeys, gorillas, and apes.
Some wildlife creatures feed on other creatures, which prevents the proliferation of another species.<br />
<br />
This acts as a food chain which balances the creatures existing in the ecosystem. If all of these wildlife creatures are eliminated, then this might create a redirection of the food chain, which could be dangerous for human beings.<br />
<br />
Humans should stop hunting and selling these wildlife creatures but instead men should preserve and conserve wildlife with its plants and animals.<br />
<br />
This is so that the balance of the ecosystem is not disturbed. Any imbalance would affect the existence of man and could be detrimental to man’s health, economy and safety.<br />
