IV. Essay: Discuss and Explain what is asked below. Write in the class comment your
answers.
1. Explain and discuss the essence of the Custom and Traditions of the Indigenous
people. (15 pts)
The customs and traditions of us indigenous people trully is important and significant.
Nowadays, most people does not give any importance on the customs, tradition and
culture of the tribes and Indigenous cultural communities we belonged to, because
most of the young ones today are greatly influenced by the lowland and western
cultures, but after learning about the culture, customs and traditions of where we
belonged to, I find it interesting, exciting, significant and most of all very important.
The customs and traditions of people serves as their identity. It represents their rich culture,
their way of life, and their history. By knowing, understanding and learining about ones
culture, we can have an insight about them. Thus, making the idigenous people's customs,
belief abd tradition very significant, not only to them, but to other people as well. Moreover,
many traditions and customs are still being practiced today which are proven to be very
effective an has served as pillars to maintain the peace and stability of the community as we
continue to develop. An example is the "Bodong" or Pagta Law, wherein the "Bodong" is the
peace pact treaty used by the tribes of the yKalinga people to maintain the peace between
its tribes. Peace Pact holders, commonly elders of every tribe are being appointed by the
"Pangat'. They hold written Laws called the Pagta and also serve as mediators when
problems between tribes occur. They do this in order to maintain the hardbuilt peace within
the province and avoid possibilities of tribal wars to occur.
2. Now a day’s foreign system of Government, Practices and Influences are dominant in
our society.
Question: As student, what is your role in the society in order to preserve and protect
the extinction of our Customs and Tradition that have been long time kept and
preserved by our ancestors. (15 pts)
As a student and a member of the communtiy, I can help preserve and protect the extinction
of our society by being someone who will inherit our existing cultures and tradition. By
learning about it in our schools, from our parents, local citizens and the the elderly, applying
it in our lives, and being proud about it, I could say that our customs, traditions and culture
continue to persevere and will later be passed on to the next generation.
As a great man once said, "Ang Kabataan ang Pag-asa ng Bayan", we being the
"Kabataan" of today"s generation holds the role or obligation to pass down what we
have gained from our ancestors to the preceeding generations.
