THE CORDILLERA AUTONOMOUS REGION

As I have studied the cordillera Autonomous Region, ive learned that CAR has an abundance Literature. There are different kinds of Ethnic group residing in the Cordillera Autonomous region, such as the Ibaloy, Isneg, Tingguian, Bontoc, Ifugao, Kankanays, and the Kalinga who are good in writing Literary works. Some of their Literary Piece reveals their treditions and cultural practices. The Ibaloy people are currently residingin Baguio City. They are skilles in terrecing the mountains and planting rice. They are also skilled in playing musical instruments. The ibaloy literature are very interesting and entertaining. Some of its are written in the book and all expresses a good literary value. Ibaloys are good in writing Literary piece in which they reveals some of their cultural practices. Another group of people in CAR region are the Isnegs who described as kind, hospitable, and generous. They lived in the provinhces of Kalinga and Apayao. They are rich twith folk riddles. Isnegs are also good in making Literary works such as fables and riddles which is really ninteresting and knowledgeable. One of the Isneg's Literature is the judge and the fly which is really entertaining. The Tingguian people are another residents of CAR region who are occupying the province of Abra. They are skilles in writing good Literary works. One of the best literary piece ive read in the book is the literary work m ade by the Tingguian people. It is entitled as The Great Tingguian Flood Myth. It was really very interesting and entertaing at the same time. It is a story about the a hero god who went down to the lowlands. I can say that the readers will surely like it too. The next one are the people from the Central Cordillera Mountains, they are the Ifugao. Agriculture is their main source of living. They are skilled in hunting and planting. Also they are skilled in writing literature. One of their good Literary piece is the Hudhud hi Aliguyon. And im glad to know that this literary work from Ifugao people are recognized as the Masterpiece of the Oral and intangible heritage of humanity. It was a story of two fighters who then became friends after fighting so long. Ifugao people has just made a good literary work that is very interesting and entertaining. The people who are occupying the Mountain Province are known as the Bontocs. Their main agricultural product is the rice. They are engage in fishing and different activities. They believe in anitos and spirits and their God is Lumawig. They are also good in writing literary works, in fact one of the great story ive read is the story of their God and culture hero.This story tacles different religious and cultural practices. The kankanays is another ethnic people who are the 3rd largest cultural community in Mountain Province. They Practice monogamous relationship. They have abundant collections of epics and also riddles. I find quite interesting their some stories because it is very short and unexciting. The last group of people in the CAR region are the Kalinga. They developed swidden Farming, wet rice cultivation and Terrace Farming. But aside from doing asricultural woks, the Kalinga are rich in Literature. Their Literature are consist of riddles, myths,legends, and epics. One of the most entertaining and exciting story is the story of Banna. It is very amazing and entertaining. Most of the stories made from the people in different regions are valuable. They must be preserve and recommend to other people.
