The Igorots
Indigenous people (IP’s) call the Igorots (derived from the Spanish expression "Ygollotes" or mountain
people) of the Cordillera Region of Northern Luzon in the Northern Philippines often defending their
family reasons from strange criminals as they take the land as a life where their way of life and
personality are formed. According to Igorot, it is related to the earth as an unborn child that connects
the mother to the umbilical cord. At a time when their territory is weakening it will mean that their
purpose, their possessions and their personalities are dying, they must, like their ancestors, fight the
enemy at all costs and defend the human world in the future. This obligation lasted for many years and
the saints and saints of the Igorot community were made to be fulfilled as incentives to continue the
light to protect the earth. The two collections that can be made by the Igorots as a whole, in the
broadest sense, include groups of people from a larger country who make wet rice, often trampling like
a mountain and consisting of groups of people from rainforest regions, who grow dry rice in vegetable-
growing areas. Within the Nabaloi or Ibaloi, Kankanay (Kankanai), Lepanto or northern Kankanay, Bontoc
(Bontok), south of Kalinga, and Tinggian areas almost all live in dense cities, but one ethnic group,
Ifugao, has small family farms that are all exploited with rice terraces. Subsequent collections of
Gaddang, north of Kalinga, and Isneg or Apayao are found in fine living quarters or on farms where new
gardens are opened as dirt some of Gaddang's live in tree houses. Common social objects in Igorot groups
in general remember the iron-to-metal performance, weaving, and creature-turning. They trust in
spirits, including their ancestors, and they have sophisticated rituals to satisfy their curiosity. There are
no parties or families, and the political party is severely restricted at the city level.
