    International Journal of Advanced Research in Management and Social Sciences ISSN: 2278-6236 THE INDIGENOUS PRACTICES, BELIEFS, AND RITUALS OF THE UNOY RICE FARMERS OF KALINGA, NORTHERN PHILIPPINES - AN ETHNOGRAPHIC RESEARCH Edgar M. Naganag* INTRODUCTION: The province of Kalinga is a land-lack province located at the central portion of the Cordillera Administrative Region, Philippines. It has eight municipalities divided into two political districts. The Municipality of Tanudan belongs to District 2. It is considered as a fifth class municipality located in the hinterland of the province inhabited by the indigenous peoples of Kalinga, the Itanudan. The municipality of Tanudan was then made up of only five barangays grouped according to ethno-linguistic clusters. These are Dacalan, Ga-ang, Lubo, Mangali, Taloctoc and Pangol. During the olden times, the people of Tanudan struggled for survival over harsh realities of their unexplored but kind environment. Though the lower portion of the municipality is accessible to land transportation it is just recent that the road was opened to Taloctoc and Mangali. The staple food of the people is rice. They produce the rice in their fields (pappayaw) or in the upland slash-and-burn (uma). The uma farming system has always been practiced by the people of Tanudan, but there is no proof of its real beginning. There are some ideas of how the Uma started in Tanudan, but these are purely hearsays for lack of corroborating evidence. *Kalinga-Apayao State College, Tabuk City, Philippines Vol. 2 | No. 12 | December 2013 www.garph.co.uk IJARMSS | 331 International Journal of Advanced Research in Management and Social Sciences ISSN: 2278-6236 The stories of the old folks have dubious sources and each story teller has his or her version which at the end favors his own barangay or sub-tribe.

Information on other aspects of well-being is generally obtained from representative health surveys, national population and housing censuses, and others. However, these surveys and censuses are (i) too costly to be replicated frequently; (ii) conducted at different time periods, making it impossible to get a comprehensive profile of the different socio-demographic groups of interest at a specific point in time; and (iii) have sampling designs that do not usually correspond to the geographical disaggregation needed by local government units (LGUs).

  • The Ilocanos in Tabuk City, Kalinga: a Study on Their Migration Janette P
    International Journal of English Literature and Social Sciences, 5(6) Nov-Dec 2020 | Available online: https://ijels.com/ The Ilocanos in Tabuk City, Kalinga: A Study on their Migration Janette P. Calimag Kalinga State University, Philippines Received: 13 Nov 2020; Received in revised form: 11 Dec 2020; Accepted: 23 Dec 2020; Available online: 31 Dec 2020 ©2020 The Author(s). Published by Infogain Publication. This is an open access article under the CC BY license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Abstract— This study was conducted to understand the circumstances that led to the Ilocanos migrating to Tabuk, Kalinga and the challenges they faced as they transferred residence. It also aimed to explain the different processes of integration that the Ilocanos have undergone to be in good relationship with the Kalingas. Participants of the study included 20 Ilocano migrants aged 50 and above and are permanent residents of Tabuk who know how to speak in Ilocano and Filipino. Interview was the primary method used in gathering data for the study. An interview guide was used as a basis for questioning while note-taking was done by the researcher to document the information supplied by the participants. All conversations were also recorded through a tape recorder. Secondary resources such as researches, books and articles were used to further explain the results of the study. Results of the study revealed that Ilocanos migrated to Tabuk because they are looking for a piece of land which they can convert into a farm, a venue for trade and a job or an employment.
