Original site BAYANIHAN

Ilongot Culture

Egongot.

Folk Dance and Music: Accompanied with "Kulising", an instrument made of bamboo and tightened with string.

Clothing: Men used to wear the "bahag" and women used to wear colorful dress. Bamboo-woven workmanship: such as Bamboo-woven baskets. Nowadays, some of the residents still make them for selling to the tourists. Hunting: The meat of the prey pig will be eqaully distributed and shared among all

the community members.

The residents hold the concept of "sacred territory", which doesn't necessarily imply that there is dreadful "taboo".

They just want to make sure that the "sacred territory" is safe from destruction. In the present day, most of the residents are Christian.

There are a lot of grocery stores available. which supply refreshment, beverage, and vegetables. Maria main street fulfills other buying needs. about 30 minutes by car.

Garbage collection and disposal: rubbish bin → the process of "sorting and recycling" needs improvement. Water supply, power, and communication facilities → using spring water and groundwater simple drainage system

outside the houses → Nearly every house has electricity. → The quality of communication facilities is not satisfying.
