As part of maturity, there are some inquiries lingering in your mind that will start to develop
personal awareness. Social issues for instance happened and exist with different views, and
conditions. You will become open-minded at all times for what is occurring in our
surroundings, adopt and relate to our day-to-day ways of living. Significantly, you could only
find solutions to both inquiries through interrogation and communication by means of social
integration.

In this module, you will study the roles and significance of Filipino’s indigenous social ideas
that contribute to national development.
Generally, indigenous social and socio-political ideas have influenced the social, socio-
political and socio-economic changes in the Philippines particularly from the transition of
the Philippines from a colonized country to being proclaimed as an independent one.
First and foremost, Jose Rizal’s cries for the grant of education to the indios during the
Spanish colonial period must have ushered in a new beginning to the Filipinos because
when the Americans came over, they accorded parochial (now regarded as Diocesan
schools) as well as free public education to the people.
While it was true that colleges were instituted under Spanish rule, education then was more
of a privilege for the moneyed class. With the grant of education for all, more Filipinos have
been blessed with the chance to be informed, thus becoming more participative in
government undertakings.
Indigenous peoples’ communities can be found in the interiors of Luzon, Mindanao and
some islands of Visayas. They continued to live in their relatively isolated, self – sufficient
communities at the time when most lowland communities had already been integrated into a
single colony under Spain in the 1700s and 1800s.
They were able to preserve the culture and traditions of their “ethnos” or “tribe” as
reflected in their communal views on land, their cooperative work exchanges, their communal
rituals, songs, dances, and folklore. Instead of hierarchical governments, each of these
communities had its own council of elders who customarily settled clan or tribal war to restore
peace and unity.
But with the long years of colonial rule in the Philippines, from 1700s to 1900s and the influx of
migrants into indigenous peoples’ territories, many influences have been introduced that
gradually changed indigenous way of life. (Valdeavilla, 2018)
Cordillera Peoples: An indigenous population of the Cordillera mountain range, which covers
six provinces in the middle of Northern Luzon – Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga, and
Mountain Province. They are collectively called Igorots, meaning “mountain people”. There are
eight ethno – linguistic groups in the Cordillera, namely, Bontoc, Isneg, Kalinga, Kankanaey,
Tingguian, and Yapayao, Ibaloi, Ifugao.
People from Cordillera Mountains in Luzon are broadly known as Igorot. They are from
the northern part of the country.
They are popularly known for being rice cultivators. An
assortment of the group called the Ifugaos built the
Banaue Rice Terraces – designated a UNESCO World
Heritage site in 1995 as “a living cultural landscape of
unparalleled beauty”. Igorot is a primitive ethnic group in
the Philippines. The Igorots' culture and traditions are
popular because of their clothes, living among the root
crops, and the
2 many prayers for marriage, travel, and
farming.

SOCIAL
Like other ethnic groups, the Igorot are also rich in rituals. Many of their prayers are
about abortion, wedding rituals, and procreation. There are parts in it that spirits think they are
saving in one. In addition, warfare, worship devotion, career choice, or travel have a list of
prayers or Cultural elements common to the Igorot peoples as a whole include metalworking in
iron and brass, weaving, and animal sacrifice. They believe in spirits, including those of
ancestors, and have complex rituals to propitiate them. There are no clans or tribes, and
political organization is generally limited to the village level. Kinship is traced on both the
paternal and the maternal sides, extending as far as third cousins. Orientations that need to be
done through their leader.
(Mark012207, 2020)
The Igorot tribes of the Mountain Province have a wedding practice called the “trial
marriage.” The Sagada Igorot, for instance, have a ward or “Dap-ay” where boys at an early
age live and sleep with their agemates. This ward is connected to one or more girls’
dormitories called “ebgan” used for courtship. In this dormitory, the girls gather at night to
sleep and to be visited by their suitors. When a boy develops a real attachment to a girl, they
live together in a trial marriage until the girl becomes pregnant. The young man then sends
gifts to the girl’s family. Chickens are sacrificed and omens are read. When all the signs are
favorable, the wedding ceremonies take place. In these ceremonies, the couple drink from the
same cup, eat rice together, and make rice offerings. (Herrera, 2000)

Caraballo Tribes: These are the five ethno linguistic groups – Ibanag, Ilongot, Gaddang,
Ikalahan and Isinai – who together with the Agta peoples inhabit the Caraballo mountain range
in Eastern Central Luzon. This range connects the provinces of Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino and
Nueva Ecija.
SOCIAL
Also known for their cultures and beliefs, their traditions were passed on through
generation to generation that until now our generation still believe and apply it to our
everyday life. And as this millennials enlarge, their knowledge become more vast and these
beliefs are: the night before the wedding the man should go to the house of the woman and
bring: Banig, bigas, baboy, kabinet, and kabang. The man should bring all of these because
they said that the man should provide their needs as a married couple. The night before the
wedding the man should go to the house of the woman and the man should ask for the
approval of the parents of his soon to be wife and they also said that the man should provide
the needs of his family. (Gatan, 2017)
SOCIAL
Most Aetas practice monotheism and are animists. They worship a Supreme Being and
at the same time, also believe in environmental spirits. They believe that various places in our
environment are being governed by both good and evil spirits. The Aetas of Zambales, have a
totally different set of wedding practices. In the wedding ceremony, the couple eats from the
same plate and they take turns feeding each other. Although monogamy is the rule in the
Aetas’ culture, a man is allowed to have more than one wife if he can accumulate enough
“bandi” or bride price. This bride price may include arrows, bows, bolos or large knives, cloth,
and money. The wedding day can only be fixed when the bride’s family is paid the bride
price.The Aetas practice divorce. The bride price is returned to the man if the bride is at fault.
However, it is forfeited if the man is responsible for the marital break-up . (Gatan, 2017)

Mangyan of Mindoro: This is a generic name for the six ethno – linguistics groups spread
over the mountains and foothills of Mindoro, an island southwest of Luzon, namely, Batangan,
Iraya, Hanunoo, Alangan, Ratagnon, Buhid, and Tadyawan. They are described as the first
inhabitants of the island, and until today, they are one of the few groups that still practice a
pre – Spanish form of writing. Their present population is about 150,000. (info@travel-
palawan.com, 2020)
SOCIAL
Mangyan is mainly subsistence agriculturalists, planting a variety of sweet potato,
upland (dry cultivation) rice, and taro. They also trap small animals and wild pigs. Many who
live in close contact with lowland Filipinos sell cash crops such as bananas and ginger.
Their languages are mutually unintelligible, though they share some vocabulary and use
Hanunó’o script to write: Tawbuid and Buhid are closely related, and are unusual among
Philippine languages in having an /f/ phoneme; Tawbuid is divided into eastern and western
dialects; Western Tawbuid may be the only Philippine language to have no glottal phonemes,
having neither /h/ or /ʔ/.
Their traditional religious world view is primarily animistic (Animism); around 10% have
embraced Christianity, both Roman Catholicism and Evangelical Protestantism (The New
Testaments have been published in six of the Mangyan languages).

They practice different sets of wedding arrangements. At the actual wedding ceremony,
the couple sits on a mat laid on the ground. Between them sit a dish of cooked rice, a coconut
shell filled with water, and two cigars. The bride’s maid and the best man take turns handing
handfuls of rice shaped into balls to the bride and groom respectively. The couple then feeds
each other and drinks from the same cup and smokes the same cigar. The marriage is thus

solemnized and the wedding follows. Their choices of clothing were g-strings for men and
patadyong for women or the so-called native wraps similar to the more popular malong. (Gatan,
2017)

Mindanao. The Moro and the Lumad. Moro is Spanish for the word Moor. Lumad means
indigenous or native.
Mindanao Lumad:

A betrothal is arranged by a man from the boy’s side. This man visits the girl’s parents and
informs them of the boy’s honorable intentions. If the girl’s parents agree to the union, the
village headman is informed and he relays the news to the boy’s parents. The headman then
presides over the negotiations for the settlement of the dowry. The dowry includes money,
clothes, and jewelry.The engagement period and the actual wedding ceremony begin and end
with a lavish celebration highlighted by a feast, a parade, music and dancing. (Gatan, 2017)
