The 7,107 islands that make up the Philippine archipelago and the 80 main ethnolinguistic
groups that inhabit them contribute to the complexity and diversity of Philippine civilization.
These people follow distinctive cultural traditions, and their languages and dialects help to
further distinguish them.
An Indigenous woman leader from Northern Luzon's Cordillera region, Natividad Sugguiyao,
joins us for a dinner event to tell tales about the Kalinga ethnic group's culture and way of life.
The Kalinga Peoples are famed for their strong sense of tribal consciousness and were never
subjugated by Spanish colonists during their more than 300-year rule in the Philippines.
The Kalinga have a rich cultural heritage that is expressed via dance, song, and artisanal
labor. To settle tribal disputes, they still uphold the "bodong," or peace pacts, among the sub-
tribes. Nowadays, visitors from all over the world come to the province to study the traditional
"batok" or hand-tapped tattooing technique. Backstrap weavers still create traditional apparel,
which is then hand-embroidered by regional craftspeople.
Participants will gain an insider's perspective on protecting Kalinga customs and rituals as
well as the impact of globalization during a moderated dinner conversation with Ms.
Sugguiyao. She will also discuss the way the Kalinga Peoples are adjusting to the new
economy and the work she is doing to promote ecotourism activities in the area.
