    Cordillera Administrative Region (Cordillera People)


     The Philippines only has one landlocked area there. Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao,
    Kalinga, Mountain Province, and Apayao are the provinces that make up the region. The
    Chartered City of Baguio, often known as the Philippine Summer Capital, is the region's
    hub. The resilient and hardworking indigenous tribes known as the Igorot have called its
    untamed landscape and breathtaking geography home; at the same time, the region's
    climate has produced a distinctive culture that differs from that of the nation's lowland
    colonized regions. It spans the majority of the Cordillera Central Mountain range's terrain
    and is situated in the north-central region of Luzon. Its northern and western boundaries
    are formed by Ilocos Norte and Cagayan, its southern and eastern boundaries by
    Pangasinan and Nueva Vizcaya, and its eastern boundary by the Cagayan Valley. It is the
    only landlocked area in the nation. It has a hilly topography and is known as the
    "Watershed Cradle of North Luzon" because it is home to nine significant rivers that
    continuously supply Northern Luzon with water for irrigation and energy.

    Culture of Cordillera People


     The Igorot, an indigenous group, call this area home. Before the Spanish conquest, the
    ancient Filipinos led a very similar way of life in this area. The Panagbenga or Baguio
    Flower Festival, which is held every February, is a monthly flower festival that takes
    place in Baguio City, Philippines, every February. The word "Panagbenga" is derived
    from a Kankanaey phrase that means "blooming season." The history, customs, and
    values of Baguio and the Cordilleras are reflected in these celebrations.

     The second one were weaving, iron and brass metalworking, and animal sacrifice. They
    practice intricate ceremonies to appease the spirits, particularly the spirits of their
    ancestors. No clans or tribes exist, and political structure is often confined to the village
    level. Third cousins are the furthest degree of kinship on both the paternal and maternal
    sides.

     Third is after the infant is born, a broided cloth is continuously burned to keep evil spirits
    from approaching and harming the child. An animal is killed as a greeting for the
    newborn child. It's known as gubgub-ao. As soon as the umbilical cord is severed, a
    newborn baby is given a name. As a sign of welcome for the newborn child, local
    relatives, neighbors, and friends are encouraged to take part.

     Fourth is The Cordillera highland region is arguably the most exotic in the archipelago
    with its majestic mountain ranges, rugged nature-based adventures, centuries-old
    indigenous cultures, and the iconic Rice Terraces, one of Unesco’s World Heritage Sites.
    But one rich aspect of the Cordilleran way of life which has been largely unappreciated is
    its equally exotic and distinct cuisine which has been handed down across generations.
    This year’s food fest is dubbed the “Watwat” Edition which focused on a traditional way
    of cooking meat which is an integral part of the Cordilleran custom in food preparation.
    Watwat is the popular chunks of pork boiled in a large pot minus the spices which are
    served to guests and shared within the community during any occasion. Apart from being
    the country’s Summer Capital, Baguio is also haven for food trip dining with its wide
    array of traditional, fusion, gourmet and international offerings which also reflects its
    being a Unesco Creative City. In keeping with time-honored tribal tradition, Mangan
    Taku opened with a mad-mad, an indigenous prayer for a successful event, after which
    the watwat was served by the hosts to formally welcome the guests.

     A big bulk of the Cordillera population is composed of closely related indigenous


    peoples. Collectively, our peoples are popularly known as Igorot. Often, we are also
    grouped into a number of ethnic or ethno-linguistic identities, such as Apayao or Isneg,
    Tinggian, Kalinga, Bontoc, Kankanaey, Ibaloy, Ifugao, and Bago. These groupings, while
    convenient, do not fully reflect the real particularities and the extent of diversity among
    the region's peoples. In fact, most of us indigenous peoples identify ourselves primarily
    with specific communities called ili (literally, home village, hometown, or home
    territory). Each Ili is a self-identifying community with a specific territory, which is its
    ancestral land. While there are diverse types, an ili usually consists of a closely-knit
    cluster of villages, or a core village and its outlying hamlets, within a defined territory.
     Lastly, The region of the Cordillera is known for its unique musical instruments, such as
    the gangsa kalinga, nose flute, bamboo flute, buzzer, bangibang, tongatong, diwdiw-as,
    saggeypo, and bamboo zither. They also believe in spirits, including those of ancestors,
    and perform intricate rituals in to satisfy them. Iron and brass metalworking, weaving,
    and animal sacrifice are all cultural practices shared by all Igorot peoples. A native term,
    lang-ay, refers to the custom of the people of the mountain province to celebrate holidays,
    share joy, foster family unity, provide hospitality, and cultivate friendship.
    Traditions of Cordillera People
     (IKALAHANS) the term kalahan, a kind of forest tree growing in the Caraballo
    Mountain, is the origin of the name ikalahan. The traditional festival is called keleng, and
    it consists of a semi-religious feast and ritual that can be utilized to make offerings to
    gods, deities, and ancestral spirits to treat illnesses. Before the sacrificial pig is slain and
    once more before the cooked flesh is served, the mabaki leads the rite with chants and
    prayers (baki). The liver of the pig is presented to the mabaki for inspection during the
    sacrifice, and if the organ appears unhealthy, he may ask to sacrifice another animal.
    Other rituals of appeasement include the laga, which is the simplest type of celebration,
    and the padit, which is the most lavish and expensive feast.

     (ISNEGS) the Isnegs are animistic. Although they have no Supreme Being, the system of
    beliefs is rife with spirits, of human and animal forms, dwelling freely or in nature
    habitats of rivers, stones, trees. Illnesses and diseases are attributed to disrespectful
    intrusions into the deities' domains. As protection, ceremonial appeasements are
    common, as is the wearing of protective amulets (tanib). The shaman figures heavily in
    the ceremonies. The Anituwan, always a woman presides over the Isnegs' rituals. She
    chooses and dispenses amulets, diagnoses illnesses, uses various herbs in her concoctions
    of treatments. indigenous people demonstrate on the use of animals place the reverence

     Ifugao revolves around rice, which is considered a prestige crop. There is an elaborate
    and complex array of rice culture feasts inextricably linked with taboos and intricate
    agricultural rites, from rice cultivation to rice consumption. Harvest season calls for
    grandiose thanksgiving feasts, while the concluding harvest rites tungo or tungul (the day
    of rest) entail a strict taboo of any agricultural work. Partaking of the rice wine (bayah),
    rice cakes, and moma (mixture of several herbs, powdered snail shell and betel
    nut/arecoline which is used as a chewing gum to the Ifugaos) is an indelible practice
    during the festivities and ritual activities. Agricultural terracing and farming are the
    principal means of livelihood. Their social status is measured by the number of rice field
    granaries, family heirlooms, gold earrings, and carabaos (water buffaloes). Prestige is
    also conferred through time and tradition.

     (Panagbenga) since 1995, the festival known as Panagbenga, which means "a season of
    flowering" in Kankana, has honored the city's gorgeous flowers and commemorated its
    re-establishment as a top tourist destination in the Philippines following the tragic
    earthquake that struck the Summer Capital in 1990. It has been conducted annually since
    February 1995 to provide the City of Pines its own fiesta, which attracts many tourists
    during a month when the weather is often chilly and dry and ideal for enjoying outdoor
    activities. The Panagbenga will feature numerous float and floral parades for visitors to
    enjoy. Locals and organizations compete in street dancing and band competitions,
    putting on a fantastic spectacle every year after months and months of rehearsing,
    costuming, and choreographing.
