Book

There are a lot of tribes and indigenous ethno-linguistic groups in the province of Abra and masadiit is only one of them. This book is not only a product of imagination of the author but because of his immersion and dedicated life for the indigenous peoples in the province, the reason why he was so passionate to write this book and encypt it with the Tingguian enculturation and aculturations through time. Everyone deserves to be known and be identified by their peculiar and molded life through their panglakayen "tribal elders", babaylan "tribal priestess", lapat "fasting and abstinence from hunting". Undeniably these are the reasons why people in an area choose to stay, to create a family and to die for it if it is necessary. The author personally chose to publish this book to make a difference and to create a voice for the voiceless especially this particular ethno-linguistic group or the other existing conglomerates throughout the Philipines and through Asia. This is a small tool for acceptance and realizations but a big step and bold declaration of how and what the world must be and should be from this perspective and upbringing.
