Bayanihan




People of Buguias help each other if someone is in need like when a family lose their love ones. Not only during death that bayanihan occurs but also during wedding and fiestas.  All neighbourhoods are gathered at that place and to be sent to gather firewood at the same time to select and cut a tree for making the dead’s coffin. By the costumes and traditions the culture of the ancestors is to spend all their daily activities to attend the wake and to help in all the job of fetching water, butchering, cooking and preparing firewood.  Later day until burial a pig must be butchered to feed the people.  And also after burial a month or so, the “lobon” is performed to finalize “ngilin’days.

Buguias my hometown

 I would like to share Buguias Spectrum of culture. The dominant dialect or language in Buguias is Kankanaey, and the original language of the ancestors can be traced to Kalanguya, similar to Nabaloi or Ibaloi language. The main livelihood in the municipality is vegetable farming. And Buguias has always been famous with the beautiful vegetable terraces especially when most of the fields turn vegetables green. Those various vegetables in every terrace prove the title of Buguias, as the “vegetable panorama of the north.
