Igorot people
Igorot, or Cordillerans, is the collective name of several Austronesian ethnic groups in The Philippines, who inhabit the mountains of Luzon. These highland peoples inhabit the six provinces of the Cordillera Administrative Region: Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Kalinga, Ifugao, and Mountain Province, as well as Baguio City and the adjacent province of Nueva Vizcaya.
Etymology
The word "Igorot" is an exonym, derived from the archaic Tagalog term for "mountain people" (formed from the prefix i-, "dweller of" and golot, "mountain range"). During the Spanish colonial era, the term was variously recorded as Igolot, Ygolot, and Igorrote, compliant to Spanish orthography.
The endonyms Ifugao or Ipugao (also meaning "mountain people") are used more frequently within the Igorots themselves, as igorot is viewed by some as slightly pejorative.
Cordillera ethnic groups
The Igorots may be roughly divided into two general subgroups: the larger group lives in the south, central and western areas, and is very adept at rice-terrace farming; the smaller group lives in the east and north. Prior to Spanish colonisation of the islands, the peoples now included under the term did not consider themselves as belonging to a single, cohesive ethnic group.

VIRGIN
by: Jackie WardVirgin
I haven't always stuck by you
Even though you've been with me
And I've done things I wish you hadn't seen
And I have seen things I wish you'd didn't know
But because you fogive I forgive myself and let go
Jesus give me a virgin mind and a virgin soul
Make my heart so set on you that it can't let go
Take all the things I've seen wash me with your purity
Take all the things I've done cover me with your blood
I haven't always stuck by you
Even though you were with me
But now as I see you on the cross of Calvary
Can't bring myself to hurt you more
So now all that I'll do is only what you'd have me do
It's all for you
Jesus give me a virgin mind and a virgin soul
Make my heart so set on you that it can't let go
Take all the things I've seen wash me with your purity
Take all the things I've done cover me with your blood
I cry out to you and I repent
I cry with you and I repent
I cry out to you and I repent
I cry with you and I repent
Transform these bitter tears with your mercy
Jesus give me a virgin mind and a virgin soul
Make my heart so set on you that it can't let go
Take all the things I've seen wash me with your purity
Take all the things I've done cover me with your blood
Cover me with your blood
Cover me with your blood
Cover me with your blood
