the Ata-Manobos2 Even over rugged terrain and intensely hot path+ays, the Ata-
Manobos can tolerate the pain and scorching heat2
A sitio leader or the datu has a special +ardrobe created for him called the
kombinasyonfor the upper garments andpatadyongfor the lo+er garments2 &oth are
made of conventional fabrics +ith cut cloth patterns and beads as design2 Thepatadyong is just nee-level, and has multi-colored patterns of small cuttings of
cloths2 They +ear a headdress called tangkulo2 t has a design and pattern just lie
the kombinasyon and patadyongbut it has horsehair around for aesthetic reasons2
&eads around the +rist and legs are a common sight for men and +omen alie2 They
consider donning beads for beautification and as attraction to the opposite se2 n
+omen sungol,a chain of beads clinging to both ears for beautification, are still
common among elders2
Men and +omen alie +ear tattoos termed aspangatab2 Tattooing has been practices
over the years using nives as tattooing tools and tree resin as color2 Thispangatab
has a dual purpose/ first as an art and to loo gorgeous to the opposite se/ second itsymboli$es their being Ata-Manobo2 According to them, an Ata-Manobo should have
a pangatabon their flesh as an entry passage to heaven at the time of their death2
Tribefols +ithout apangatabare not considered members of the tribe2 ntricately
designed tribal tattoo is commonly +orn around the arms, +aist, bust and the legs2

Tale of !ea"#o$
n the beginning there +as only a vast body of +ater covering the entire span of the
earth2 Then the great Manama commanded the giant bird alimokonto gather soil and
scatter it in the sea2 A giant earth+orm carved the soil into different landforms -
mountain ranges, the islands, and the various continents2 .lora and fauna follo+ed to
flourish2 This is the Ata-Manobo tale of ho+ the earth +as created2
#tories have been told that the first Ata +as created by Manama @Bod of the Ata from
the blade of a grass2 They mentioned the names Tulalang, Age+, &aybayan,
Dini+ata, ?ala+ay and #anggayan as their original forefathers and the beginning of
their race2 These people +ere the chosen ones +hom the Breat 'ne saved during the
time of the great flood hundred of years ago, just lie the story of 1oah2 After thegreat flood a ne+ generation of Ata flourished and lived in the ne+ +orld, the +orld
they live in today2
They have their o+n deities, +hich they +orship in different occasions and times of
need2 During the beginning of the planting season, they give a present to ?alayag, the
god of harvest, to have a productive harvest2 Alimogat is the god of +ater, +ho
provides them +ith potable drining +ater and irrigation +ater in the farm2 !e is also
responsible for floods and heavy rains2 Every hunting season, a hunter has to please
the god of animals Timbalong to earn a price catch of various animals2 #trong +inds
and storms are attributed to ?alamag, the god of +ind2

Af"e!l#fe
n the course of my =ueries regarding their beliefs of afterlife, they believe that once a
person dies the soul could go either to heaven or to hell depending on one>s earthly
behavior2 !eaven for them is a place +herein all necessary needs is just +ithin reach
of the palm, a place for the dead family members to reunite eternally, everyone istreated e=ually and is a place of eternal happiness2 'n the other hand, hell for them is
a place of misery, pain and suffering, a place +here bad persons +ill eventually go
after leaving this +orld2

There is not much livelihood and money-generating +or in this side of place2 Abaca
@hemp gathering (hag-ot) is the basic source of income in the communities of
?aila+an, Melyong and "abadiangan2 This is the easiest +ay of maing a living for
them2 They do not need to tend the abaca to gro+ because it abundantly thrives in thefertile forest soil2 People in #itio Misulong are engaged in small enterprises and tend
small sarisari stores2 They are also the ones +ho maret the abaca fiber in the
neighboring communities2 To augment the meager income from abaca fiber they
resort to planting corn and vegetables +hich normally produces less than the epected
output due to infestation by rats and insects in the field2
They still roam the forest and hunt for food using primitive tools lie the bo+ and
arro+2 .or a day>s effort, seldom do they bring a catch of +ild pig (baboy halas)or
other animals that +ere abundantly present in the area many years bac2 Bone are the
days of bountiful fruits and animals +aiting to be served bet+een meals as they recall
in the past years2 0ie+ise, fresh +ater products lie fishes and shells are no+
limited in the rivers and laes2
The presence of the logging firm A0#'1 created a venue for employment and
additional income for the natives2 t is the strategy of the company to hire natives as
laborers and guides2 They +or to plant tree seedlings, clean the area, and cut +eeds2
The company also provides livestoc and seeds for planting2 #till, earnings are not
enough to feed a family2
The Ata-Manobos have limited or negligible handicraft products for trade2 They
no+ ho+ to +eave baset (liyang)used for domestic purposes/ for gathering +oodsand harvesting2 A liyang costs 5)2)) to 7)2)) pesos each2 They are not good at
maing sculptures and other tribal art +ors either2

Each of thesitiosin Talaingod has its o+n designated leader called datu. According
to the datus,they serve as mediator and problem solver in their respective bul+ars2
0ess serious problems lie stealing and bra+l to more serious offenses lie murder,
bigamy and concubinage are the most common problems being handled by the datus.
The penalty depends on the degree of the offense2 n resolving problems, the datu

and his circle of counselors conduct a meeting +ith the parties concerned2 The datu
tries to settle the conflict in a most diplomatic +ay giving both sides a chance to give
its o+n story2 !aving heard both sides, the datu+ith the help of his councilors give
the decision +hich is final and irrevocable2
A +oman cannot become a datu/ the designation of becoming a datuis a role given tomen only2 According to the datus,+omen have no guts and are +ea in resolving
problems especially complicated ones2 They have the tendency to be overruled by
their emotions in maing decisions2 n the past, the title of datu+as passed from
father to son2 1o+ a person can be a datu through a formal election procedure2 The
+hole constituents can elect their o+n datu,a leader +ho can spea in behalf of the
majority and resolve problems diligently2

nsurgency has been a +ell-entrenched problem in Talaingod2 The mayor ofTalaingod Datu ;ose &alimba 0ibayao has publicly declared a total +ar against anti-
government forces in his area2 The place is +itness to countless encounters bet+een
government troops and rebel armies2 There +as a time +hen communities +ere
evacuated due to armed clashes2 Affected families built their temporary houses near
the municipal hall2
1atives can be easily convinced to join anti-government movement +here it involves
guns and ammunition2 At a very tender age, the natives are convinced to join the
rebel groups since they lie to hold a pistol or a grenade2 The incident involving the
ambush of the A0#'1# employees is said to be done by rebel symphati$ers2 %p to
this date the tension still holds and recently, a bulldo$er +as burned2
#'"A0 "'1.0"T#
Pangayao,a +ord easily associated +ith Talaingod, is described in literature as atribal
+ar/ a total +ar against each other/ against anybody, +ithout mercy to anyone2
According to the natives, they did not no+ +hen and ho+ it started, yet its nature is
similar topangayamor the act of hunting2 During the hunting era, they looed for
animals to hunt using bo+ and arro+2 ;ust lie inpangayao,a person hunts and ills
another person using bolo and bo+ and arro+2 t is a misconception to many that+henever pangayao occurs, the person could ill anyone and respects nobody2
According to them, pangayaohappens +hen there is an unsettled problem bet+een
t+o parties2 More serious offenses lie murder and rape could lead to a pangayaoif
not properly resolved2 As an act to avenge the death of a family member, the +hole
clan hunts for the suspected assailants2 1o+ they use guns and ammunition in
eeping +ith the times2 These misdeeds are outside forces that contribute to the
economic struggle of Talaingod2

n this land bound by traditions and ancient customs, it is difficult for the people to
change their +ays2 0ie in a contemporary society, it is a familiar set-up to observethe male as the head of the family2 There is a +ide gap bet+een the responsibilities
and duties of a male and a female2 .emales do all the household chores - cooing,
+ashing of clothes, cleaning the house and taing care of the children2 n addition,
they do the harvesting, gathering of fire+ood, +eeding of crops and +oring outside
the community to earn money2
As the head of the family, it is the responsibility of the male to see to it that the family
has food to eat, a shelter to d+ell in and to supervise the epenses of the family2 They
do the hunting for food, build shelter and +or to earn money2 There are some
instances +here the females do all the house chores and still act as bread+inner2 This
holds true +hen the male has given a big do+ry to the female during the +edding2This is the +ay of paying bac +hat the male has given2

Tribal marriage is called lapao. 1o courtship occurs bet+een the men and +omen2
Marriages are arranged2 t is up to both set of parents to discuss the marriage
preparations and the do+ry or bugay. 1either the man nor the +oman no+s about
the arrangements2 &oth concerned parties have no po+er or right to bac out or even
persuade their parents to call off the +edding2
As both sets of parents agree to match their children in matrimony, a do+ry is defined
to meet the terms of the +edding2 A common do+ry ased by the bride>s parents is a
pair of horses2 !orses are considered a symbol of status in the community2 Money
and valuable things can also serve as do+ry2 *hen all the conditions for the marriage
are met by both sets of parents, the date is set for the +edding, usually during full
moon2 t is their belief that during this time their Bod gives the couple a bountiful and
happy married life2

A tribesman can have additional +ives but only +ith the consent of the first +ife2
!aving an additional +ife is termed as duway. A tribesman +ith multiple spouses is
given has high regard in the community because of his ability to attract +omen and to
handle additional responsibility2 *ith the consent of the first +ife, a tribesman can
no+ propose to the parents of the supposed to-be second +ife2 The parents as a set
of do+ry or bugay. As this do+ry is met, the marriage taes place2 n case of non-
approval by the first +ife, the husband cannot marry another +oman but it is very
uncommon to overrule the decision of the husband2 The burden on this practice is the
additional responsibility of the male to feed more people2 Despite the hardship and
poverty taing a toll among the natives, many can manage to have multiple +ives2

0ac of education is one of the serious problems being encountered by the lumadsin
Talaingod2 Majority of the population 3) years of age and over have no formal
education2 During the first visit in the area, the barangay captain Datu 0inasod
#ibogan, 7)H years old, had to see the assistance of his son "ouncilor Ale #ibogan
to read the mayor>s permit2 Any formal letter sent to them could be used as trash2

Ata-Manobos +ere basically hunters +andering in the lush forest for food and
settlement2 After having settled in one place consuming all possible food in the forest,
they transferred to another place to loo for food2 *ith the degradation of their land
and the depletion of food source, they have no+ limited source of their sustenance2
*ith the limited forestland left to roam and for hunting they engaged in trade and
s+idden farming2 1o+ they settle more or less permanently in one place2 Their
typical houses are lean-tos to deter +ild animals from attacing2 They live in cogon-
thatched houses made of tree branches and bamboo slat2 Abaca fibers and rattan
stems serve as nails and hold the +alls together2 There is no division inside the house,
they eat and sleep in one place2 Also the itchen is inside to provide them proper heat
during cold season2 A pair of gallons for storing +ater, itchen utensils lie spoons,
cups, plates, and pots are al+ays present in every household2

t is a common scenario to see boiled camote,cassava and banana in the table during
mealtime2 They consider these root crops as a staple food2 *ith the diminishing
source of food, the natives are no+ engaged in planting and contour farming2
Gegetables lie tomato, s=uash, and eggplants are planted in the farm, but this is not

CONCEPT OF HEALTH AND ILLNESS
A healthy person for them has a fat body, is able to +or and has no ailment2 'n the
contrary sicly persons are thin, have no appetite to eat, al+ays feel tired +hen
+oring and are prone to diseases2 As observed they sho+ less attention to common
illnesses lie cough, colds, +ounds and rashes2 Many children (-8 years of age
develop rashes all over the body2 #eldom do they administer medicinal plants for
these common illnesses2 The use of these medicinal plants according to them re=uires
tedious preparation that they sometimes do not have time2 They mostly rely on
commercial medicines readily given by the local government and A0#'12
According to the elders, bi$arre and complicated illnesses afflicting a person lie a
sudden abdominal pain, rolling of eyeball, vomiting of blood and instant feeling ofhotness are some of the signs that the person is being cursed by evil spirits called
busaw2 A busawusually lives in a balite or other big trees2 The busawdra+s an
arro+ that passes through the body of the person causing severe pain2 At this
instance, the help of a baylanis sought2 The baylanuses chicen or pig blood as an
offering to the offended spirits2 Along side are some prayers and rituals2 Today the
influence of a baylanhas gradually diminished because of the teaching of religious
missionaries2 Missionaries try to inculcate in the minds of the people that paganistic
practices of the baylanare against the teachings of "hristianity2
'ther causes of diseases include the unsanitary and untreated drining +ater coming
from natural springs2 This has caused severe diarrhea and stomachache observed to
be common among children2 &oiling of +ater is not a common practice2 n addition,
intestinal infestation is rampant in children2 This is mainly due to unsanitary habits
lie not +ashing the hands before eating and +aling barefoot2

correct the position or alignment of the fetus for a smooth delivery2 A basin of
lue+arm +ater is used to bathe the baby2 To cut the umbilical cord, bamboo or a pair
of scissors is used2 The placenta is buried in the ground belo+ the house2 They
believe that by doing this, the ne+born child +ill not be a sto+-a+ay and such +ill
prevent the evil spirit from eating the placenta +hich can cause death to the child2
The baby then taes his first bath using alburyabelieved to give the baby a healthybody2 The mother +ill have to rest for a +hile/ ho+ever, this is not compulsory2
#ome mothers confide that the vigor of +omen differs/ +hile it taes only a fe+ hours
rest for some +omen others could rest for a day or t+o2 t is a practice for them to
mae a concoction of plants to lessen post-delivery stress and continuous bleeding2 A
drop or t+o of breast mil applied on the baby>s stomach +ill lessen air accumulation
inside the stomach, locally termed as butod.
MAKING OF THE BAYLAN
A baylan refers to the traditional medicine man of the tribe2 Aside from being amedicinel man, a baylan is also a spiritual healer, and a soothsayer and is given a high
regard in the community2 To become a baylanneeds no restrictions in age, se, social
status and educational attainment2 'ne important common factor associated in
becoming a baylanis the spiritual guide they call an abyan. An abyanis an imaginary
being +ho guides and protects the man +ho o+ns the abyan. To the natives an abyan
possesses magical and +ondrous po+er2 At any moment and unepected time, an
abyanjust appears to a certain person, +ho serves as his medium2 #ome baylanshad
encountered their abyanthrough a dream2 The person or medium undergoes a period
of trance +herein heCshe eperiences hallucination for some moment, then the
medium speas a voice not hisCher o+n but that of the abyans2 A person +ith an
abyanhas the ability to see spirits of dead people2 The baylansduty is to intercede
for the sic2 !eC#he performs rituals and says prayers to appease the offended spirits2
t is their belief that ailments and diseases are brought by bad spirits2 The baylancan
also foresee future events2
