Sending this message to the creator of this video, as a youth from the tribe, I’m deeply grateful that such content on the oral tradition of the Ifugao was produced. You did a great job in recording even if it’s just a glimpse of the native oral tradition. It is a fact that this and more of our traditions our fading out as generations pass and this video helps in preserving it.

[@gabrielseth2666]

The entrancing flow of the chant, culminating in the squealing of those pigs is a powerful thing. It envelops the void between the peaceful lull of life's rhythm, and the cutting edge of death... awesome

[@meowtrox1234]

I miss my ifugao friend . The Ifugaos are kind and warm hearted,, smiling . Full of humor ,egoless, reasonable free spirits

[@flordelizapascua1238]

As one of the descendants of Ifugao, i thank you for uploading this ritual video, and that song is one of the most enticing song we Ifugaos had heard

[@julieanncadete354]

hello po, can you perhaps translate the chant in the first part of the vid?

[@arthurnolasco185]

The woman at the end reminds me of my lola. RIP 23/12/2011

[@ali_tafa006]

International Ifugaons have it hard man. It's so rare to find quality videos of our own heritage on websites and KZbin. I can't even find someone in Australia who's Ifugaon where I live, let alone someone who's from the Cordilleras. 😭😭

[@roiferreach100]

This is what I like in natives, kiling that pig is not for enjoyment, they still respect the creature even though they take away it's life for food and survival of the flesh. I feel the connections with them and the nature.

[@SarahKotzman]

Awesome. I was in Banaue and was enchanted with all of the sounds. You did a great job of capturing them

[@jhumspogi3945]

oh..i just saw my grand mother..hahaha..the video was taken in hingyon ifugao

[@ThomasHutchingsMusic]

They’re so beautiful.

[@SantiagoDeGuzmanOfficial]

9:56 What a great way to end the film. Hope you already received your blessing from these people more than 10 years ago.

[@migsluck1]

I don't think it's necessarily more rituals than us more modern peoples but more so the traditions have just changed. I'm not even 1st generation American. I was born in Mindanao and my traditions have just changed since moving. Let's be real though a large piece of me will always belong in Mindanao.

[@jhumspogi3945]

yup,this taken in march 2012..i was home that time for vacation..

[@Dfoth1]

your films are my favourite

[@andeleon6838]

Wow galing nila magEnglish

[@ali_tafa006]

Syempre naman, 500 years of Spain and 30 years of mga 'Merikanos 😂😂

[@waltraut]

Very nice film Vincent! I am a filmmaking student fromthe Film and MediaArts International academy in cebu and would like to do a documentary about the Ifugao tribe. Who is the person in charge i can contact to get more information for shooting requirements? I would be grateful if you can help me.

[@raylaheart]

So pig/pork is a big staple in those areas. You have to kill a pig to eat it. It's not always a ritual. Big slaughterhouses here in the states have a system that drowns them. Other places it's back to basics.

[@hulyoPanganiban]

Thank you

[@Mayari_Music]

Does anyone know the translation of the chanting from 8.50-9.20? x

[@haliya4323]

Maraming salamat

[@tovidominic3154]

Compare the "chants" of some naga tribes of NE India. We wont be able to differentiate. And both follow only oral traditions till now.

[@gethandongla9891]

Actually I believe we came from the Bai yue or Nanman people. They are a collective of tribes with a similar culture that stretched across south China to modern day Vietnam. They were the original inhabitants of south china up to parts of Vietnam and were very different to the Han Chinese to the north. These people practiced tattooing the face and chest, wet rice agriculture, raising water buffalo, and they also practiced living in small separate village communities. They were also very good sea farers. They migrated south to modern-day Taiwan where they developed more and became the Austronesian people. They traveled south to the Philippines, they sailed the rivers with canoes. They drove out and (over the course of time) intermarried with the darker skinned and more "primitive" Negrito people already inhabiting part of the mountains. They were hunter gatherers and had more basic weapons. the Austronesians then traveled southward until they branched out in different directions, some went eastward then creating the Polynesian peoples, some went westward even reaching Africa in Madagascar where they created the Malagasy people. (Disclaimer: this is one of the most prominent and realistic theories of how the Austronesians spread across the globe, its the" Austronesian Expansion theory a.k.a. Austronesian Migration theory"). "According to the oral traditions of many Naga tribes, their ancestors migrated from Yunnan in China. Some claim they were forced to leave during the construction of the Great Wall of China. Having travelled from China through the jungles of Myanmar, the Nagas arrived at Makhel. The Naga tribes pronounce the name in different ways - Makhriffi, Meikhel, Mekroma, Mekharomei, Mekrimi, Makhel, or Makhriohfu - but there is no dispute over the exact location of the village or its significance." I believe that it is plausible that the Bai yue/Nanman peoples had greatly influenced or even migrated to the people of-/Yunnan due to their proximity. I believe this is how we are related.

RELIGION: ANIMISM

[@i_hate_rock_and_metal]

Since 700,000 years ago (or even much much older than 2 million years ago based on the recent archaeological findings)?🤔

[@rat3905]

Our religion is Diwatahan, but animism is an important part of the cultures.

[@meowtrox1234]

Ainu

[@jhonpaulbalicat7620]

bassit lat deperensya nat ilocano ngem naun oneg lang.,., mayat nga sursorwen hehehe

[@albrentballogan9193]

Hahaha sigi surwem maysa inggana uppat nga aldaw mu nga kantaen...😂

[@thebirdtheram2237]

Can anyone understand what they're chanting/singing? Thank you!

[@justrandom3943]

you can watch the original video tho :DDDD (link in the description) :DD

[@Vandoei]

Indeed it was a pig being killed, its part of the ritual

[@samsamtest7720]

Are Ifugaos somehow have some link to American Indians? Not just culturally but genetically?

[@janellejohnson5694]

Sam Samtest I’m not really sure, but they are closely genetically similar to the tribes of Taiwan as well as Malaysians, Indonesians, Micronesians and Polynesians. People who belong in that group are Malays Polynesians or austronesians.

[@uglybepis3571]

Both Orientals and Amerindians are Mongoloid people

[@leslyhan8409]

Hi. Can I use the music for educational purposes?

[@vincentmoon]

Yes absolutely :)

[@leslyhan8409]

Thank you so much. I'm gonna use the sound for a short film project in school, featuring Ifugao and bulul. Thank you♥️. I will make sure to credit this video/work to you.♥️

[@hokagitumuyuki2925]

Baki

[@albrentballogan9193]

Neoliberal ideals to not just kill the pig humanely is something out of the corner... These rituals were held in order for the tribes to live humanely... 😂

[@urinnate7080]

thank you
