    THE MANOLAY CULT: THE GENESIS AND DISSOLUTION OF MILLENARIAN SENTIMENTS AMONG THE ISNEG OF NORTHERN LUZON }OliN E. SMART FoR TWO YEARS, APPROXL\1ATELY 1937-1939, A MAJORITY OF THE FAMILIES in the isolated Isneg settlement of Kabuwan neglected their mountain rice fields. 1 During this period, community feasts, prompted by the hope that the people from Unto (a place somewhere over the sky) would attend, were held nearly every night." The conviction reigned that, should Enoy, Eyu, Patungagan and any other Untc} people choose to come, the dead ancestors would manolay (return to life) and believers would acquire gamog (the power to conceive of and simultaneously to experience the fulfilment of a material wish, in this case, an un- ending supply of food and drink) and obtain the services of Kindingan (the invincible spirit of the old people of Kabuwan). ·when possessed, Kindingan enabled a single Kabuwan man to fight and kill all the people in an enemy hamlet. Finally, after the expected rendezcous \vith the Unto people, everyone would lead an everlasting, labour-free exist- ence, devoted to continuous say am (a celebration characterized by danc- ing, drinking and the killing of, at least, one pig and one dog for food). Two years later, when the Manolay cult subsided, the Kabuwan rice granaries were empty; most of the settlement's pigs, dogs, and chickens had been butchered; a large portion of the community's ac- cumulated wealth of valuable beads, Chinese pottery, and Ilocano blankets had been exchanged for rice, and some men were forced to labour in the neighboring settlements for their family's daily ration.

  • “The Kalinga & Isneg Way of Life”
    “The Kalinga & Isneg Way of Life” Kalinga‐Apayao Way of Life by AUS [Note: This paper was read by the author during the Cagayan Valley Day held at Nikko Hotel on August 18, 1988 ‐ sms.] Historical Background Identification of the Kalingas and Apayaos of northern Luzon as among the indigenous highland ethnic groups in the Philippines was done by the Bureau of Non‐Christian Tribes (BNCT) which the early American colonial administrators established to undertake social and scientific investigation of the mountain tribes in the northern Luzon area, as well as those hill‐tribesmen of Mindanao. The BNCT sent a team of social scientists in the forbidding heartlands of the Cordilleras, probing deeper into areas where Spanish colonizers failed to establish footholds. The BNCT was replaced in 1903 by a new bureau named Bureau of Ethnological Survey (BES) in the Philippines. This bureau purused the social investigation and survey earlier started by the BNCT with anthropologists thrown into the regionwide ethnological studies. The result of the scientific and social studies parceled the Cordillera ethnic groups into five ethnic groups, namely: Apayao, Kalinga, Bontoc, Ifugao, and Benguet. Years later, this ethnic grouping was to be the principal bases of the political subdivision of the old Mountain Province into five sub‐provinces bearing the names of the five major ethnic groups of the region. For on February 4, 1020 and under Act No. 2772 of the Philippine Commission, a reconstituted new Mountain Province had five sub‐provinces complete with its territorial boundaries delineated along ethnic lines and sub‐provincial capitals and municipalities.

This consultant’s report does not necessarily reflect the views of ADB or the Government concerned, and ADB and the Government cannot be held liable for its contents. (For project preparatory technical assistance: All the views expressed herein may not be incorporated into the proposed project’s design. Nature-based solutions in Philippine river basins © Deltares, 2020 Title Nature-based solutions in Philippine river basins Keywords: River basin management, nature-based solutions, Philippines, flood management plans Climate change conditions that are now considered extreme may become the new normal, resulting in more and intensified floods. In addition, increasing exposure due to population growth and movement can further increase flood risk in the Philippines. Although conventional hard infrastructure will continue to play a key role in protecting against flooding, in the face of multiplying environmental threats, this approach may no longer suffice to provide the climate resiliency and level of services required in the future. Natural River Management (NRM) is a way to harness functions of natural river systems to deliver climate resilience at a lower cost while minimizing negative environmental and social impacts (ADB, 2020a). Nature based solutions (NbS) and non- structural measures, which are part of NRM, are seen to be vital for dealing with current and future environmental threats.

    COMPREHENSIVE REPORT ON THE RESULTS OF EXPLORATION AND MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES FOR THE PROPOSED OFFSHORE MAGNETITE MINING PROJECT OF JDVC RESOURCES CORPORATION DENOMINATED AS MPSA-338-2010-II-OMR LOCATED IN THE OFFSHORE AREAS OF THE MUNICIPALITIES OF SANCHEZ MIRA, PAMPLONA, ABULUG, BALLESTEROS, APARRI, BUGUEY AND GONZAGA, PROVINCE OF CAGAYAN Prepared for JDVC Resources Corporation by: RAFAEL R. LIWANAG PMRC Competent Person on Exploration Results and Mineral Resource Reporting August 15, 2015 i ii 2.2 Scope of Work of Competent Person Mr. Rafael R. Liwanag has been engaged by JDVC Resources Corporation (JDVCRC) as the Competent Person (CP) to make an estimate of the Magnetite Sand mineral resources contained within certain portions of MPSA-338-2010-II-OMR based on the information provided by JDVCRC in conformity with the Philippine Mineral Reporting Code. Mr. Liwanag also is tasked to document the procedures used in handling the data, and the manner which the magnetite sand mineral resource estimate has been calculated, as well as the results of exploration within the said area. The scope of this work is focused, among others, in estimating the mineral resources of magnetite within the explored areas of the said MPSA. The estimates in this report include the geological, physical and chemical analysis of all samples available as of July 31, 2015. While being consistent with the outline of PMRC reporting, this report does not consider the completeness, veracity, accuracy, suitability of the legal, permitting, commercial, social and other non-technical aspects of the project area; thus this report focuses chiefly on the exploration, sampling, and assay data only.
