Caba/Labba Race is one of the Cultural Sports Competition being played during
the foundation day of Ifugao known as the “Gotad ad Ifugao.” It is a game for
women, where a basket full of crops, usually camote, is placed on top of their
heads as they race. It is played by teams of ten women each. This traditional
game took place with the aim of showcasing and preserving cultural heritage
through engaging and entertaining traditional games and this culminating activity
aimed to bring people together, fostering a sense of community and shared
experiences and promoting inclusivity in the BPEd Studentry.
We are given a task to Facilitate the 4th game which is the Caba or Labba Race .
As the Facilitator we observed a prolonged delay before the game started due to
equipment issues. Some teams couldn't use the "likon" as base of Labba to be
placed on the head because it wasn't tied properly, making it easy to dislodge.
Furthermore, there were no extra likons available, causing an additional delay in
starting the game. We rushed to help to fix it and When the Game started there is
no problem about the likons anymore because it is already fix. At the Middle of
the game we have some problems with the likon because some are untangled.
Some of the groups make it more widers which is reason for the likon to break
but Despite these problem, we think the participants still enjoyed the game and
ended it successfully. Challenges: Declining interest among youth due to modern
technology, lack of promotion, and urbanization. Preservation efforts: Community
workshops, school programs, and cultural festivals promoting traditional games.
