 Apo Whang-Od is the last mambabatok of the Butbut tribe from the
Buscalan Village in Kalinga. Batok is a form of body-tattoo, which is
done by tapping a thorn of a pomelo tree on skin, using charcoal and
water as ink. In the past, body tattoos in the tribe were given to
women and men, especially warriors who protected the tribe from
the enemies or outsiders. At present, the practice has been opened
to tourists, who come up to Kalinga to get themselves some tattoos.
