  • Inclusion and Cultural Preservation for the Ifugao People
    421 Journal of Southeast Asian Human Rights, Vol.2 No. 2 December 2018. pp. 421-447 doi: 10.19184/jseahr.v2i2.8232 © University of Jember & Indonesian Consortium for Human Rights Lecturers Inclusion and Cultural Preservation for the Ifugao People Ellisiah U. Jocson Managing Director, OneLife Foundation Inc. (OLFI), M.A.Ed Candidate, University of the Philippines, Diliman Abstract This study seeks to offer insight into the paradox between two ideologies that are currently being promoted in Philippine society and identify the relationship of both towards the indigenous community of the Ifugao in the country. Inclusion is a growing trend in many areas, such as education, business, and development. However, there is ambiguity in terms of educating and promoting inclusion for indigenous groups, particularly in the Philippines. Mandates to promote cultural preservation also present limits to the ability of indigenous people to partake in the cultures of mainstream society. The Ifugao, together with other indigenous tribes in the Philippines, are at a state of disadvantage due to the discrepancies between the rights that they receive relative to the more urbanized areas of the country. The desire to preserve the Ifugao culture and to become inclusive in delivering equal rights and services create divided vantages that seem to present a rift and dilemma deciding which ideology to promulgate. Apart from these imbalances, the stance of the Ifugao regarding this matter is unclear, particularly if they observe and follow a central principle. Given that the notion of inclusion is to accommodate everyone regardless of “race, gender, disability, ethnicity, social class, and religion,” it is highly imperative to provide clarity to this issue and identify what actions to take.

  • Oryza Sativa) Cultivation in the Ifugao Rice Terraces, Philippine Cordilleras
    Plant Microfossil Results from Old Kiyyangan Village: Looking for the Introduction and Expansion of Wet-field Rice (Oryza sativa) Cultivation in the Ifugao Rice Terraces, Philippine Cordilleras Mark HORROCKS, Stephen ACABADO, and John PETERSON ABSTRACT Pollen, phytolith, and starch analyses were carried out on 12 samples from two trenches in Old Kiyyangan Village, Ifugao Province, providing evidence for human activity from ca. 810–750 cal. B.P. Seed phytoliths and endosperm starch of cf. rice (Oryza sativa), coincident with aquatic Potamogeton pollen and sponge spicule remains, provide preliminary evidence for wet-field cultivation of rice at the site. The first rice remains appear ca. 675 cal. B.P. in terrace sediments. There is a marked increase in these remains after ca. 530–470 cal. B.P., supporting previous studies suggesting late expansion of the cultivation of wet-field rice in this area. The study represents initial, sediment-derived, ancient starch evidence for O. sativa, and initial, sediment-derived, ancient phytolith evidence for this species in the Philippines. KEYWORDS: Philippines, Ifugao Rice Terraces, rice (Oryza sativa), pollen, phytoliths, starch. INTRODUCTION THE IFUGAO RICE TERRACES IN THE CENTRAL CORDILLERAS,LUZON, were inscribed in the UNESCOWorldHeritage List in 1995, the first ever property to be included in the cultural landscape category of the list (Fig. 1). The nomination and subsequent listing included discussion on the age of the terraces. The terraces were constructed on steep terrains as high as 2000 m above sea level, covering extensive areas. The extensive distribution of the terraces and estimates of the length of time required to build these massive landscape modifications led some researchers to propose a long history of up to 2000–3000 years, which was supported by early archaeological 14C evidence (Barton 1919; Beyer 1955; Maher 1973, 1984).

    Cultural Bureaucracy and the Manufacture of Ifugao Oral Literature CRASSH Cambridge, 11th December, 2010 Roger Blench Kay Williamson Educational Foundation OralOral literatureliterature inin thethe digitaldigital ageage ! Oral literature is the product of a world where there was no possibility of recording with any accuracy long or significant texts in any way other than through memory and interpersonal transmission. ! However, literacy and recording technology have penetrated even the remotest parts of the world, so that even where a guardian of oral tradition cannot read or operate a video camera, they are influenced by their knowledge of these technologies. ! Moreover, penetration of rural areas by technology has moved ahead so rapidly since the Second World War that a mode of oral transmission which has persisted for millennia is suddenly confronted with an urban culture for which memory has almost no role at all. ! Elders who do not read and write are suddenly challenged by the demands of their grandchildren to operate a mobile phone, a skill that they may subsequently acquire. NoliNoli meme tangeretangere ! However, apart from these issues, oral literature faces other serious problems, their capture by the metropolitan elite !

  • On Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage:1
    87 7 The Philippines: on Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage:1 Jesus T. Peralta2 National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Philippines As late as 1966 when Republic Act 4846 that provided for the protection and Preservation of Philippine Cultural property was enacted, there was no articulation of the term, intangible cultural heritage, although the concept was within the comprehension of cultural property. It is this act that articulated the idea of national cultural treasures. The focus even then was on the tangible aspects of culture. By 1992 Republic Act 7355 provided for the recognition of National Living Treasures - the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan - which was patterned after the Living Treasures of Japan, where skills in different intangible cultural processes were emphasized. Although implied, the Act did not specify this as involving Intangible Cultural Heritage. It was not until 1995 in Senate Bill No. 540 that in an effort for create an omnibus cultural legislation out of the generic concept “Cultural Property”, a terminological distinction was made to separate the ideas of “tangible cultural property” and “Intangible Cultural Property”. This bill is still pending in the Philippine Senate. After the UNESCO focus on Intangible Cultural Heritage about the turn of the century, more systematic attention was given this by the Philippines, specially after one of its nominations, the Ifugao epic, the Hudhud was among the first proclaimed as a “Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity” in 2001. At the behest of the UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) created an Intangible Heritage Committee (NCCA/IHC) in October 2001.

    HUMANITIES DILIMAN (JANUARY-JUNE 2013) 10:1, 1-43 R.B. de Santos The Ifugao Alim: Chanted Narrated Dramatic Discourse in Ritual Rosario Bona de Santos University of the Philippines Diliman ABSTRACT This paper, by way of introducing the little-known Ifugao alim, gives the readers an idea of what has been written about it by Ifugao and non-Ifugao writers and scholars, and recounts my own discovery and study of it. It focuses on the Piwong alim, which was the topic of my dissertation (Rosario de Santos del Rosario),1 and which I recorded during a live performance in 1975 in Piwong, Hingyon, during the ritual called hongan di tagu—a prestige ritual of the kadangyan,2 for the welfare of a sick woman. In particular, the paper discusses the Piwong alim’s significance, structure, content and voice, and presents illustrations, through excerpts, which give the reader an insight into its ideological direction and unique aesthetics. The Piwong alim uses a mix of ritual genres, external and internal narration, and dramatic character dialogues and monologues. The alim has been considered, by varied Ifugaos, as the crown jewel of their elaborate rituals; a sociological charter; and a magical myth that brings well-being. Keywords: Ifugao alim, male-chanted narrated dramatic discourse, ritual for well-being INTRODUCTION Ifugao is situated in the foothills of the northern Cordillera mountain range of the Philippines. It abounds with spectacular rice terraces (now a World Heritage property), and with a wealth of traditional verbal art. Most known among these is the all-women-chanted hudhud, which has joined the ranks of UNESCO-declared world masterpieces of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity; but no less impressive (although lesser known), is the all-male-chanted alim—the apogee of elaborate Ifugao kadangyan (“upper class”) prestige rituals for welfare.

Conklin Philippine Collection Inclusive Dates: 1955-1995 Bulk Dates: 1961-1995 Repository: Archive of Folk Culture, American Folklife Center, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. Extent: 8 containers; 10.6 linear feet; 728 items (450 manuscripts and 278 sound recordings) Creator: Conklin, Harold C., 1926- Languages: Bontoc, Buhíd, English, Hanunóo, Ifugao dialects, Ilocano, Ilongot, Isinay, Kalinga, and Kallāhan dialects Abstract: Consists of audio duplications of original field recordings documenting the music and rituals of the Ifugao of northern Luzon, an agrarian culture whose traditions are deeply rooted in the growing of rice as a medium of exchange, social status, and subsistence. Ifugao social customs are revealed through recorded conversations, vocabulary exercises, children's games and songs, chants, recitations, rituals, and the collector's voice letters to his family. Scope and Content There are approximately 140,000 Ifugao living in scattered districts over some 170 square miles in northern Luzon. They are agrarian farmers who have perfected a system of sustainable rice terracing uniquely suited to the heavy rainstorms and rugged terrain of northern Luzon, Philippines. In their tribal society, rice is more than a basic sustenance; it also serves as a medium of exchange and a signifier of status. Rituals, ceremonies, and events are tightly interwoven into the Ifugao people's daily lives.

  • Ifugao Terms Proposed for Incorporation Into the Vocabulary of the National Language
    hindi maaaring ilathala AMBAGAN 2009 Ifugao Terms Proposed for Incorporation Into the Vocabulary of the National Language By: Manuel Dulawan Patukan, Kiangan Ifugao Introduction Ifugao is the name of the ethnolinguistic group inhabiting the province named after them- Ifugao. The Ifugao group is composed of two subgroups, the Ayangan and the Tuwali. They are distinguished from each other primarily by the way each group speaks the Ifugao language, the Ayangan dialect and the Tuwali dialect. Except for the terms Ifugao and hudhud , all the other terms selected and discussed in this paper are uniquely Ifugao, i.e., they have no exact equivalent in other Philippine languages. The terms/words in this presentation are defined and explained based on this presenter’s knowledge as a native speaker of the Ifugao language, particularly of the Tuwali dialect 1. Ifugao The term Ifugao derived from Pugaw . In Ifugao religion there are six (6) realms in the cosmos. These are Kabunyan (Skyworld), Dalom (Underworld), Lagud (Eastern World), Daya (Western World), Kadungayan (the place where the souls of people go when they die and Puga (Earthworld). The first five are spiritual realms while the sixth, Pugaw, is the physical world, the habitation of mortals or human beings. The early Ifugao referred to themselves as Ipugaw, from Pugaw, the prefix I denoting place of origin. This self- ascription was made by them to distinguish themselves form deities in Kabunyan, Dalom, Lagud, and Daya and the souls in Kadungayanas well as from the unseen earth spirits. The term Ipugaw has the same pronunciation and meaning in the language of the Kankanaey in Western Mt.

Linguistic Society of the Philippines Special Monograph Issue, Number 30 The Philippine Jonrnal of Linguistics is the official publication of the Linguistic Society of the Philippines. It publishes studies in descriptive, comparative, historical, and areal linguistics. Although its primary interest is in linguistic theory, it also publishes papers on the application of theory to language teaching, sociolinguistics, etc. Papers on applied linguistics should, however, be chiefly concerned with the principles which underlie specific techniques. Articles are published in English, although papers written in Filipino, an official language of the Philippines, will occasionally appear. Since the Linguistic Society of the Philippines is composed of members whose paramount interests are the Philippine languages, papers on these and related languages are given priority in publication. This does not mean, however, that the journal will limit its scope to the Austronesian language family.
