This is a tradition that has been around for many generations and is still practiced to this day. We hope you enjoy watching this special feature as much as we did!

"We have intigrated religion but we have not lost our culture." such a beautiful statement and you can truly see how they apply this on there special occassions and everyday lives.
Bakit naiiyak Ako habang pinapanood ko ito. How I wish na ganyan rin kami sa aming brgy kapag meroong mga kasal or birthday. Gsto ko maranasan ito
Pag kasabi niya nah " we have intigrated religion but we have no lost our culture..bigla akong naiiyak na nakakatindig balhibo po..maybe because i feel that love its a magnet po
Habang pinapanood ko ito sabi ko sa sarili ko cguro peaceful and safe talaga ang lugar na ito. Sana ang bayanihan culture ng ating bansa ay patuloy na tangkilikin ,hindi lang sa iisang lugar kundi sa buong Pilipinas. Gaya nga ng sabi ni mayor religion is incorporated but the culture is never forgotten😢❤❤❤
ang galing ng Mayor nila. Godspeed Mayor!
The tradition and culture of the cordillera people will never die they love their tradition and culture and they practice it up to this day
True
Wala akong masabi kundi napakaganda!!! It's Bayanihan at its best. A tradition that never fade away in your place. When I was a kid, being a member of bago tribe somewhere in the northern part of La Union, I witnessed this kind of tradition. I remember my late father always was a part of the butchering and cooking of food. We kids helped on separating the banana barks to be used as dishes or help in cleaning the yard where the wedding event will happen or even help bring water from the pump well to be use. Yeah it's really a very good memory to cherish. The problem now is, modernization took its toll. It affected the true meaning of bayanihan now. Nobody wants to help now for free. Others who have already have a higher status in life feel that they are not anymore fitted to do such kind of help. Pa sosyal na sila. Yeah, as they go up in their status in life for some, it also affected their attitude in dealing with other people. That's why I am so envious that your community was able to preserve your culture despite of the Changing times. The Bayanihan or Spirit of Unity is still intact. God bless you all!!!
Cinematography is gorgeous and miles better than any local film these days. Content and storytelling is very sincere, interesting and immersive, something lacking in a lot of media. Thank you for this. Really love Featr. Congratulations to the couple!
every and future award and acclaim erwan and his team may claim and receive in the future is going to be extremely well-deserved. my gosh the effort and content they put into their vlogs is extremely high-quality. he’s like the king of social media content in the philippines and i will forever refuse to align him with trashy and kanal ‘influencer/vloggers’ that have garbage and time-wasting content. THIS is what we should be entertaining. i cannot wait for what is in store for erwan and featr.
Congratulations Glaiza & Atty. Melford. Thank you for sharing your wedding story & traditions to us. Nakaka proud maging Pilipino 🇵🇭
Ang ganda ng pamahiin nio katulad din sa Amin sa Bohol dati piro Ngayon unti² ng nawala.
One of the beautiful and unspoiled locations in the Philippines. Their culture has been preserved for hundreds of years. Congratulations to the couple.
Wow! I admire the igorot and ifugao culture.Sila lang ang tribo na nagpptunay at nagmamahal sa sriling bayan. Pinapahalagahan nila ang kultura nila at ipinagmamalaki.ganyan sna tayong pilipino,Pahalagahan natin ang sariling atin at kultura.
Bukod po jan isa sa pinakamahalaga samin ang "UNITY", pagkakaisa ang rason kaya kami ay nagsasama sa lahat ng okasyon, kasal, birthday, wake, piyesta, sa hirap man o ginhawa.
Yes all cordillera region follow our culture benguet, ifugao, bontoc, kalinga, apayao, abra, baguio
Yan Ang totoong tradisyong Pinoy I admire it
iba po ang ifugao sa bontoc mt. province po yan..
ang swerte ng kinasal, they can always rewatch this beautiful documentary. i am so happy that our tribes has integrated modernity and religion to their traditions well. as an aspiring artist, these are subjects that gravitates me. love lots to all ❤️❤️❤️
Aspiring artist? Go go go. I had many artist friend when i was about 26 y/o. I traveled with some of these artist atleast 7 countries in my early 30's, most of my artist friend married foreigners. I have not the interest because i focused on my mission that did not materialize. now i am a senior citizen still traveling locally. I am kankanaey tribe of Benguet but i have not visited my Cordillera region.
Igorot ako
I attended a wedding in Baguio eons ago while on vacation and remember tasting the distinct taste of fermented rice. This video brought back those memories! Thank you for the comprehensive coverage of the cultural, societal and gastronomical aspects of the Ibayyo wedding.
Thank you for the kind words! Hopefully you can come back soon.
Ito ang tradisyon namin entire Cordillera yong bayanihan o oogbo/oogfo na kilan man di maeawala kahit wala na kami dahil naipapasa sa henerasyon to henerasyon. 2 of my neighbors ( ilocano and tagalog ) in Baguio asking paano daw namin ginagawa na ambunan ang pagcemento ng roof slab sa bahay namin mga Igorots bakit ang daming taong dumadating para tumuling at magkano daw ibabayad? sinabi ko sa kanila na kaugalian namin ito basta ipaalam mo lang sa kanila din ipaalam din nila sa mga kasamaan, di ibig sabihin na pag taos na ang slab o gawa ng bahay mo ay di ka na tutulong sa iba…ang ending sempre para maresolba ang problema ng kapitbahay ay tinawagan ko mga brothers at blah blah bla 1 hour done na roof slab nila😅kaso mukhang doon lang sila diko sila nakikitang makipagtulingan sa iba😂😂😂carpenters pa mga yan but its ok naipadama ang kaugalian sa kanila everyone is happy naman❤
Yes this is our tradition...G.I from Cordillera
Tradition dapat di mawala,ito ang ating kayamanan ..
Me as a photographer from Mindanao I’m so amazed with this wedding documentary and I’m hoping that I could somehow get the chance to shoot something like this 🙌🏻 thank you FEATR for this 🫶🏻❤️
You're welcome to witness my cousin's wedding on Dec 8 in Samoki,Bontoc haha.We have similar rituals and this place is easier to get to than Bayyo.If you are coming from Manila via Banaue,you cant miss the event as it is along the road.This kind of wedding is usually an open invite.Everybody is welcome to celebrate with the couple.
Same thought. Sana makapag train ng ganito
❤❤❤❤❤❤kahe t nada bakabagu na tayong panahon hende ren nateng kalemutan ang ateng nakaraan lalo na sa ateng mga koltura kase duon tayo sa saya ketamo mag keketa tayung lahat kamag anak man o kabaryu lang masayang masaya
Same wedding in Batanggas piro may mga ilan rin na pag kakaiba parehong nag sadamasama Ang ralatives ni male & female
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's amazing! Not only you captured the development of the couples's courtship but also how traditional Igorot practices are retained in these modern times. These concepts are actually universal in the Cordilleras, iba iba lang ang name. Usually, weddings are scheduled in December, kaya andaming ulam at walang magugutom. Depending on the family's economic capacity, the wedding celebrations can last up to 1 week.
Ang sarap maging pilipino! Kultura, tradisyun at bayanihan. I may not same tribe as they are but I'm so amazed by thier culture..kakamis ang Pilipinas. Mabuhay!
This is what make the Philippines one of the most beautiful country on earth. Faith + Culture + Tradition = Filipino. Kudos to the FEATR Team and congratulations to the newly wed!
@@kzm-cb5mr kaya nga po i use the term one of the most beautiful country on earth. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Our culture and traditions here in the cordillera are the one that binds as one. It's the thing that gives us strong unity passing to generations to generations. Proud to be an igorot or cordilleran
@@sarahgrace4768muslim ka cguro😂d nyo ranas mga gnito kc nka fix marriage kau😂😂😂
@@vergelnabong1979😅may similarities sa mga Nepal or Nepali,,, yon lng nkikita kong may similarities,,,, d gya nong mga Indonesians or muslim mindanao or Malaysians
This is heartwarming...the whole thing about their values and unity, the way they celebrate together their members' milestones, and that they are just open to also to the things that make them progress. Salute to Featr for documenting this. Very authentic and excellent shots and very nice edit.
Congratulations
Proud Full Blooded Igorot.Thank you sir sa pag document sa aming traditions.Kudos to you❤
😁
i love this. it's so heart warming to see traditions still hold value to them. I just kept smiling the whole way through. traditions are not old habits. it's paying tribute to generations of customs built on experiences.
Teary eyed watching this. Ewan ko ba may warmth na dating tong docu na to. Been to bontoc and tour around cordillera, love the cold and comforting weather. Most of all love the nice people around. Sana may ganitong preserved din na tradition ang mga nasa patag, unfortunately nabura na ang karamihan ng panahon. Kaya seeing this, grabe nakaka amaze na nakakatuwa. Well wishes sa newly wed! ❤🎉
One of the many reasons why I am proud to be an Igorot😊
❤❤❤ i cant thank you enough for featuring this wedding, proud to be one of them. Proud to say rhats us, thats the way we are, thats how we live, its all about unity, its all about being one , we may be living the most humbest way of living but we are living a serene life.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS FEATR may the GOOD LORD KEEP YOU SAFE ALWAYS.
I'm from the Cordillera but from different tribe. Honestly I only have little knowledge about the different (kaugalian) of each tribe 😅. Nakakataba ng puso mapanood ang pagkakaisa ng bawat isa especially our brothers & sisters diyan sa Bayyo, Bontoc, Mountain Prov. Kudos Erwan and the whole team FEATR. ❤❤❤😊
Wow!madami palang tribe sa cordillera kala ko Igorot lang 😅
Proud to be an Igorot..that's our tradition till this day💕☺️
I remember attending my friend's marriage ritual in Tinoc, Ifugao way back 2016. She married a Ayangan-in. There I was able to witness, I believe a similar tradition as this. Was able to taste the pinikpikan the way locals prapare it, as well as the blood sausage. It's so nice to see docus featuring rare and special occasions like this without interfering and overstepping on the tradition itself. Kudos team featr!
As a person who was also lives in the province up north, I am so amazed and happy that some cultures still preserve and follow their inherited traditions amidst on how advance our society is now. Thank you FEATR for this documentation.
Nice place ma'am bagong kaibigan po❤❤
sobrang ganda ng tradition na ito, i have witness this kind of ceremony sa Ifugao province naman, literal na buong barangay talaga at masaya lang. sana ma preserve yung ganitong traditions. god bless po newly wed and sa mga taga Ibayyo.
Am from ifugao..
Iba na ngayon. Dati sa gabi pa lang bago ang kasal madami tao, ngayon tuwing kainan nalang dumadami tao. Nagsisiuwian pa pagkatapos kumain😂😂😂
@@mikewest0n895 ay sayang naman, maganda talaga yung na witness namin noon. Sabagay baka busy na din kasi kaya after kain uwi na lang din.
Hindi ako igorot pero yung mother ko is ilocano at ang father ko naman pangasinense pero namamangha ako sa tradition ninyo nakaka proud na na preserve parin at hindi nyo parin inaalis yung tradition na minana nyo sa mga ninuno ninyo nakaka proud maging taga norte nakakapa proud maging pinoy #Agbiag ti ilocandia
Hindi po Ilocandia ang Cordillera.😅😅
You are actually related to the Igorots by your Pangasinense side. History said the 8 wooden boats from north India (Nagaland, Asam, Mizoram, Meghalaya, and the Chin tribe of Burma originated from Mongolia) traveled via Malaysia or Indonesia thru wooden boats. It did not mention how many boats among the 8 boats landed in Lingayen. These are the Pangalatots. Their brothers continued moving nortth via the Agno river. These are the ibalois, mentioned only Mun. of Kabayan, Benguet, and the kankanaey tribe of Bakun and Kibungan. The other boats continued along WPS, since the lowlands are already with inhabitants, they went up mountains, the tribes of Abra, Tanudan of Kalinga and Kalinga-meaning two distinct group, Then Apayo, The IBontoks and ibanaos of Mt. Province and the iFugaos of the Province of Ifugao. But in the course of time there were inter marriages and other nationalities like Samiklay (Sammy Leigh) a Briton pirate who came hiding in the Cordillera, continued his ilicit business in cohorts with chinese pirates. (Princess Urdajah of Pangasinan was of chinese pirate lineage might be one of British pirate Samiklay's business ally. not sure)
Igorot kami
Igorot kami is a movement (regional part of a national movement) advocating the use of Maharlika against Philippines. Preservation and enhancement of the good, (reome the bad if any) cultures of the different tribes in the Philippines. The igorots forefathers resisted colonization by Spain. Hence we are proud igorots.
this brought tears to me... so proud of our tradition. thank for choosing your traditional weeding. so proud of you guys. always love, respect, trust and honor each other and you will be together forever.
Awwe! This is very sweet. I'm so fortunate to be an Igorot. Most Igorots that I know are hard-working, tough yet caring, intelligent yet humble, and hospitable. They have good characters! Of course. Not all, but most of us, by God's grace. It's a privilege to be a part of the Igorot community. I haven't seen any "highlanders" who are homeless because they have their own homes in their village, even if they aren't large structures, but a "kubo" is more than enough for us. As someone who currently lives in the United States, I constantly miss my culture and the people. Iba-ibang lahi ang nakakasalamuha ko dito at narami akong natutunan sa kanila pero kahit anung gawin ko para libangin ang aking sarili parang ang lungkot lungkot parin 😢, iba parin talaga kapag ikaw ay nasa sarili mong bayan. One day, when I have enough savings and investments to support myself and help others, I will return to my hometown and live there for good. Thanks so much for featuring this! ❤
This is by far the best wedding video I’ve watched from youtube. I love the storytelling and how the team managed to capture the soul on every chapter. You delivered and showcased how rich Filipino culture and tradition is. Kudos to the FEATR team. Nakakaproud maging Pilipino!
Buti na lang malaking portion pa din ng northern luzon ang di napasok ng kastila. I'm almost thankful to the Cordilleran headhunters. I love this docu showing that we already have this long lasting communal behavior despite the colonist calling us barbarians. Another proof is that rice terraces believed to be thousand years old! (No barbarians could everrr)
Congrats po sa bagong kasal!
@Scos 407. Please read my just posted comment above for more info. Salamat friend.
Igorot ako
This is beautiful to watch. “We integrated our RELIGION but we haven’t lost our CULTURE”!! Amazing 😊 Proud Igorot!!
as someone who is about to get married in a few months and a cordilleran native as well, although we are from different tribes... we share the same form of commitment to community and the bayanihan spirit in every occasion. thanks team for another job well done.
Who else are 🥹🥹 while watching.?
A tradition that is slowly fading in our country at different regions.., but seeing it documented is like turning back time from when our ancestor started and made each and every village grow with people full of unity, cooperation.,
How I wish if I will get married someday my wife to be would agree to have it like this.,, Tradition and religious celebration together❤❤..
❤ naiyak ako sa sobrang tuwa na meron parin na ganitong tradition sa ating bansa sana ganon lahat ano. Congratulation sa bagong kasal and thank you for sharing sa memories ninyo po. ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you FEATR! Napakagandang video at pag share ng kultura ng Pilipino. Sana ay milyon milyon ang marating ng video na ito. Mabuhay kayo! Keep on making high quality content videos! 👏👏👏
Diba Ang content creator into husband ni anne cutting
May kapitbahay kami noon taga Kiangan, tuwing birthday nya buong Barangay kaya nya pakainin. Lahat ng baboy at baka galing din lang sa mga kakilala nya. Andami halos 1 week nagkakatay ng baboy. Dalawa nga ref namin puno ng karne. 😂😂 Ganun din nung namatay lolo at lola namin sa Banaue, grabe ang generosity ng mga tao at may pakakaisa. Basta bibisita ako sa mga relatives namin nagdadala ako kung ano2 pasalubong kasi nahihiya na walang dala.
Grabe ang Cordillera sa tradition andun parin. Kudos kay Erwan ang galing mo. 👏
Preserving the tradition and Culture. Hindi din nalalayo ang tradisyon at kultura ng mga ilocano pero nakikita lang ito sa mga kasuluk-sulukan na lang.sana patuloy pa maipasa itong ganitong kultura sa mga bata para hindi mawala.Agnanayun kuma iti kastoy tradisyon Agbiag!
Napaka sagana at yaman ng kultura at tradisyong ng mga taga Bontoc❤
Hindi lang Bontoc, buong Cordillera
Filipinos are really hospitable. God bless you both. ❤❤❤
This was beautiful from start to finish. Thank you. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
As a filipino, I am so proud. Thank you. I came from the Visayas but there are things that are clearly common with our traditions and culture. One thing that brings me back to the time when I was a kid is, we gather and eat as a community, we called it "kuasjon" or "kwasjon"...we eat using banana stem as a plate "upak". Seen the kids preparing/breaking it. Thank you for sharing! Loved it.
I am so speechless watching this episode. This is like what it means to be a Filipino. Wow. Just wow!
Sobrang rich ng culture and you guys did a great job make us feel like we are part of it.
Maraming salamat sa docu na ito dahil makikita ng bagong henerasyon kung gaano kakulay ang ating kultura at kung paano nagpapatuloy ang tradisyon bagamat lumilipas ang panahon. Maaari din kayo gumawa ng docu sa kasal ng lowlanders kung saan pinapakita din ang parehong tradisyon ng pagtutulungan kagaya ng baysanan sa Batangas. ❤
I love how the community was committed and united. 👍🙂
It shows how important the love and the unity in every community. First time ko makapanood ng wedding ng mga Igorot and I now dream na sana Igorot makatuluyan ko. Napaka-genuine 🥺❤
Congratulation Sir Melford and Ma'am Glaiza! 🎊🎉 Thank you for sharing your wedding tradition. ❤
Pros and cons.....being an igorot myself I would also love to have a wedding like that but sadly magastos din yan lalo sa pagbili ng MGA baboy😅😅😅.....mostly sa nakaka afford ng ganyang wedding ay yung mga mayayaman "kadangyan" sa community.
@@ericaviolet3694 thank you sa impormasyon, kaya importante talaga yung preparation lalo na financial dahil base sa napanood ko nga, magastos talaga.
I'm so happy to see that our tradition is being preserved. Naa-amaze ako to see this kind of bayanihan. Super nakaka-happy ng heart.
Thank you, FEATR!
As cultural education student, im overwhelmed bc of happiness while watching this episode❤ knowing that the culture and traditions are still being practiced, mas lalo ko pa talaga na appreciate yung kultura natin, esp old tradition, even though i love kpop😅 and i learned a lot. Thank you so much for this channel and also for featuring our very own, Bohol's Asin Tibuok. (also here bohol, we use banana shrub as plates for any occasions)😅
For some reason I cried watching this beautiful community and how connected they are and how in the modern world they have preserved who they are. Thank you for making this yet again, beyond amazing documentary. I am grateful to be introduced to cordillera people and to their tradition and culture. "Para kayo iisa gumalaw" what a beautiful thing to have.
What an amazing story telling, Featr! So heartwarming! Good to have this kind of channel that features our culture, the food and hidden wonders and stories of the Philippines!
More powers!
The investment for the wedding is....incredible. Not just from the start of the wedding but from the time the bride was born! That's dedication!
It is. It is an insult, a slap in the face if we don't.
Love their tradition and culture. Thanks, Featr!❤
It is such a wonderful wedding. Everything down to the people is very organic! Congrats to the couple! Indeed, a blessed ceremony! Dami ko din natutunan about our native's culture! Thumbs up!!!
Its my first time watching wedding like this and its heartwarming dito mo tlga mkkta unity ❤❤❤
I just love how they explain everything to us so we can understand them , and they make it fun so we don't get bored or distracted ( which happens to me very often) plus they are having fun to which is amazing. So thank you! You're amazing guys!
Saludo Ako Dito sa tradition NILA grabi. Pati Yung bigas na lulutuin sa kasal, biruin mo, tinanim pa Yun nuong Bata pa Yung bride😮 wow.
ang sarap nmn maging taga dito sa lugar na to,full of tradition at well preserved p dn nla,ang ganda ng kasal,congratulations to the couple🎉❤. i enjoyed watching this documentary.
This made me tear up, seeing the entire community coming together, with the old passing down their traditions to the young. What a beautiful community and culture! Congratulations, Featr for such a brilliant documentary! This is the YT content that we should be watching.
What a heartwarming wedding tradition a rich culture community .Congrats to the newly wed.And kudos to Featr for documenting the culture of this tribe.
Champion! The Best! Ang samahan grabe ang bigkis! Cultural values & tradition ay hindi kaylan mag babago at makaka limotan...Salute!
This is why I really admired and greatly envied Cordillerans. Minsan ko nang nakita personally yung ganito pero brief lang and nacurious ako sa buong ceremony talaga from preparations to end and ngayon eto na. Thank you FEATR for this, grabe ang effort niyo in every featured video like this. More power!
ganda, healthy community wulang toxicity lahat may pag papahalaga at pag tutulungan, sana ganito sa lahat ng lugar sa pilipinas
sobrang nakakaiyak at sobrang nakakaaproud maging Pilipino! salamat FEATR!
Proud Blood of Igorot, nintitimpuyog ay kanan da .. Happy Weeding.Matago tago ..kau as Sidong Ni Apo DIOS ay Namarsua..❤❤❤
can we have more of these videos? Maybe from all different tribal communities all throughout the country? :) I am so proud of my igorot friends that they have preserved their culture and love for the country.
Sa bukidnon mindanao Meron din mga tribal wedding
this made me emotional... community spirit at its finest 👍🏻
To Glaiza and Melford, sana ay samahan kayo palagi ng Panginoon sa bawat araw ng iyong pgsasama. Respeto at pagmamahalan sana ay tumagal.
I never know there's a heart warming tradition like this. Nkakatuwa ang bayanihan. Punong-puno ng dasal at pagtutulungan. This is the purpose of living, we live for each other. May the small act of kindness stays in everyone's heart.
Beautiful video
Beautiful culture
Beautiful people
for me... its the most cinematic... parang we are also part of the crowd while even just watching...
and its a wedding... bakit naiiyak ako... hahaha...
Awe-Inspiring Cultural Wedding Celebration, Marvelous Video Production; Totally bewildering Video-Storey. Thank you for the couple who shared their story. Thank you FEATR for sharing it to the world
Wow! As a Filipino very proud na may ganito palang tradition sa bansa natin. Congratulations sa newly weds and more power sa bayanihan. God Bless sa lahat
It is really amazing knowing the fact that there still some communities that performed century old tradition. Thanks to all people behind this content. KUDOS ! 😊
featr never fails to amaze me with their docus 💚
Kaway kaway Amin nga Kailyan dita nga IGOROT met lang 👋
Wow! Brings back memories! I'm a Filipino (Igorot) who was born and raised in America. I can remember when I first went to the Philippines (La Trinidad) in 1990 and experienced this Ceremony for the first time. As a kid I just knew that I was from the Philippines but never knew in depth of the culture my parents came from. Seeing this video was a blast from the past. I haven't been back since 2007 and definitely time to go back for a visit. Thanks for the video.
Glad we still practice exactly the same culture and traditions in the town where i grew up (Quirino, Ilocos Sur). This acrually is still being practiced in most "Bago tribes" dispersed in some of the mountainous interior towns of Ilocos Sur, Abra, LU, and of course the Cordilleras.
Bago tribes was formed because the true history of that was..kankana-eys from cordillera especially from benguet go down from the mountains to trade from lowlands and soon until they inter- married and a new language was formed into bagbag-o or bago (a mix of ilocano and kankana-ey).
Congratulations! Continue sharing your culture and traditionn. I am an Ilocano and I consider your culture very lovely, lively, and colorful. The bayanihan culture is still practiced and a good tradition for the young generation to continue to the future and next generations.
NaMiss ko tuloy sa amin. Ganito rin ang kaugalian namin, sama-sama sa hirap at ginhawa. Kahit minsan may di pagkakaunawaan ang magkakabarangay, pero the moment na may important event like weddings or funeral, pupunta pa kami para tumulong and usually don din kami magkakaayos, magkakapatawaran.
This is the best, amazing, beautiful, weeding ive seen. All members of the place participatef, in all preparations of food especially the blood sausages this is incredible God Bless our indigenous brothers and sisters may their traditions and cultures prosper Best wishes to the Husband and Wife
Ang ganda ng documentary na ito. Na preserve parin ng community ang culture nila. Kudos to Featr ang galing ng pagkakagawa na parang andun kami mismo sa bawat araw ng preparasyon hanggang sa araw ng kasal. Sana marami pang ganitong docu ang magawa po ninyo maipakita ang mayamang kultura at tradisyon natin.
An historical wedding that we should be proud of that we have like this in our country..I love it..congratulations to u guys..
Just amazing documentation and story telling FEATR! just the best! ❤
Proud Igorot here.
Occasions are not just for family, it includes the whole community.
Gawis ah. Uray daanak hinmaor u kahar ngem naragsakanak ay ninbuya hin a youtube kagak matlang hinmaor... kailangan pla talaga ng unity sa community at sana hindi magbabago ang ating pagkakaisa bilang isang mamayan sa pagtutulungan. Mabuhay kayo mga kapatid.... ad wan i hak mabuya
Love it.... From a neighbor municipality..... Akala nyo siguro sobrang gastos pero hindi rin mas mahal pa rin yong mga branded bags na binebenta ni Ms Mariel Rodriguez .. hehe ...
Sa food kase talaga ang investment jan, yong lahat makakakain at mabubusog..... Walang wedding coordinator, walang narentahan na venue, walang catering...... And BAYANIHAN sa pagkuha ng kahoy, pag aayos ng venue, at pagluluto.... Walang bayad. ❤
Di kailangan mag catering service at mahal na wedding set up.
Seamless ang kilos ng mga tao. Di mo kailangan na bumuo ng committees. Minimal supervision lang. Divison of work lang ngem o ligazyon nga haan nga bissinen dagita napan timmulong.
Nagan ganas agtrabahu kanu nu malpas ket adda sam migil ya.
I think this is the scenic town perched on the mountain which I saw in my travel going home Manila from Sagada passing by Bontoc. Such a bliss seeing this hoping I could live their simple and quiet life.
A well-preserved tradition.
If I have enough budget for the wedding, I will do the same thing, not because of tradition but because I want my community to feel that they are part of my life.
This is the ginuine filipino history that we have been ever and that we should be followed and maintain. Love and understanding among us natural Filipinos. Goozebumps while watching this video, my dream to witness these events and all others! Kudos also to whom that made this perfect documentary! Mabuhay tayong lahat
This made me tear up. As a Filipina who also embraces being a devout Catholic, I’ve always felt conflicted. I’ve doing been a lot of research and overall rediscovery of my indigenous Filipino culture that almost felt lost as I am part of the diaspora as well as much of my family dropping our indigenous traditions. However, around the same time of doing my research & this ignited interest in my indigenous Filipino culture, I also became more devout in my faith as a Catholic. I’ve been met with criticism especially as I affirmed where I stood religiously speaking because colonization often gets thrown in my face in the means of comments such as “betraying” my ancestors. However this video reminded me that I can embrace and love both. I really love it was said in the video that they accepted & integrated Christianity without losing their culture and that was honestly beautiful.
As someone who decolonization myself and had some direct mystical experiences the conflict is lost once you realize that the God of the IP and of Christianity is one and the same God. It sounds simple but it is the truth that transcended the confl8ct in me.
@@user-tl1ou8ew4eSeemingly, it appears the same. But there are nuances. The other-worldly Christian God is not exactly the same as the worldly Kabunian. Kabunian may appear similar with the monotheistic Christian God, but Kabunian as deity is "here within" not "out there" . Kabunian is also interconnected with the sacred spirits in nature. This is not the case with Christianity, hence the first Christian missionaries considered beliefs in nature spirits as heathen or pagan. By the way, nature spirits are essential in community relationship with their natural environment. Added to this is the cultural belief that deceased ancestors remain in the domain of the living, not in a different realm like heaven.
Christianity essentially is an institutionalized western worldview that had its origins from Judaism. That being said, indigenous lived religion is different. The real danger in this case is dilution of their lived religion, which is the energy behind their way of life, their culture. Once the mixture of Christianity and the culture of these people is successful, there is no indigeniety any longer. The "indigenous culture" will no longer be indigenous.
From an "indigenous" belonging to a nearby tribe, this may be imminent.
This tradition shall and should not die. It is beautiful to see and it's up to the new generation to continue and preserve it.
I’m so proud of their culture. I hope palagi nilang ipagpatuloy at lalong palakasin ang tradisyon na ito. Ang Ganda!
first time to comment on any vlogs here in YT! this is CULTURE. this is what makes FEATR unique among others. panlaban to sa docu sa ibang bansa. outstanding storytelling! congratulations FEATR.
I love this way of marriage traditions. Hoping that this tradition will be treasured and practice for many generations to come. Sad to say but with the fast growing economy and modernization of the Philippines and industrialism. These Filipino traditions will be practiced only in far provinces like the northern part and southern part of the Philippines.
I am super amazed at how a culture can continue their deeply rooted traditions and preserve their culture and at the same time keep up with modern civilization. It can be done! The other tribes in the south can learn SO MUCH from the northern tribes.
Grabe ang ganda. The they preserved their culture, the way they help each other, the way of celebrating the wedding you could really see everyone enjoyed it. Sobrang dami kung natutunan.😍😍😍
I am a hiker and some places that I visited in the Mt. Province has farmlands so I was curious where do they sell their produce and most guides would say it is just for the family’s consumption and for the community when there are events such as weddings, funerals among others. Sure I got the idea in my head but I am dumbfounded how this sense of community is being practiced in reality. Thank you FEATR for showing this awesome tradition and congratulations to the couple. You are stronger with that community behind you.
Mahal tlga ang kasal pero mas malaki ang tulong ma matatangap mo buong barangay...ganyan ang kultura dto sa amin sa Ifugao..tumulong ka para matulungan ka rin nla pag ikaw naman ang nangailangan ...
