Well explained kailian, i myself dont the purpose of those (figurine). . im also from benguet, its nice to know. For Ms. Davilla and the one interviewed, i wish they tried to make a good research considering that she has a lot of viewers. It shows that most of her blogs, if not all, are not well researched. Just my opinon.
There are similarities because we are from the same roots of Austronesian people .Scientists all agree that people speaking Austronesian languages started out from Taiwan and settled the Philippines around 4,000 years ago. They used sails as early as 2,000 years ago. Together with other maritime technologies, this allowed them to disperse to the islands of the Indo-Pacific ocean
The Igorot peoples are Austronesians. They were known in earlier days for their wars and practice of headhunting. The Spaniards forcibly partially subdued them during the colonial occupation of the Philippines, that process being completed during the period of U.S. hegemony. Ethnologists distinguish about 10 main ethnic groups, each with its own dialect and culture. There are also variations within these groups.Igorot, any of various ethnic groups in the mountains of northern Luzon, Philippines, all of whom keep, or have kept until recently, their traditional religion and way of life. Some live in the tropical forests of the foothills, but most live in rugged grassland and pine forest zones higher up. The Igorot numbered about 1.5 million in the early 21st century. Their languages belong to the northern Luzon subgroup of the Philippine languages, which belong to the Austronesian (Malayo-Polynesian) family.
Also those nagas claiming they are from china and igorots are not. Do some research. Indigenous people such as arnis in china originated from Taiwan. It's the same roots. We are all Austronesian
So true, culture identifies where you belong or the tradition that you've been brought up. Sometimes culture divides without looking the bigger picture as a human being. At these modern age. Physical body attributes is just a secondary sign.. Just like the case of a guy in our town here in Ilocos. He's half Igorot/ Russian. He was born and raised as an igorot without knowing much about his Russian father. He's also an expert of Tadek dance during town fiesta.. but still look like a Russian hehe.. That is why culture is in the heart, not in the appearance. In these modern age some millenials don't like to speak their own native tongue for some reason. Maybe one of the reasons is their parents trained them to just speak english since they we're young. Just like some rich kids hehe etc.. For me, humanity is beyond cultures. Culture is very important to understand where we came from and how we lead ourlives.
Some people choose to just ignore and pretend, some dont care, others care because of the negativity attached to being called who you are that you're not. But what is FAIR? Ka Freddie is doing his duty, educating people of misinformation but why? Because it is a duty, still why? I think because he cares about the truth. Karen and that woman didn't CARE to know the truth. My only question to everyone is, why do you care? I am an Igorot as well and when I was younger I did not like/ hated people saying Igorots are Aetas. But now I also think about Aetas being called Igorots, do they like it? How do they feel about it? I wonder. Some igorot people I know hate this issue because of this very reason not because they want to know facts. Something tells me, theres discrimination towards our Aeta people. Also if Igorots and Tagalogs are Austronesian people, what does logic tell us? Before spaniards came to the Ph. there were no mestizos(I meant Filipino+Spaniard hybrid). This is same when there were only Negritos before Austronesian people came along. We wouldn't say there is ZERO interactions between these groups of people. This is a small possibility from the bigger possibilities that we been taught/know. So if we wanna get closer to the truth, I think we need to look at the other side of the coin. In the realm of science we have DNA testing, for ex. one American person , white skinned one got his DNA results saying he's German, French, Irish, British and 2% African. Logic says it is TRUE not FALSE that this guy is 6 races in one body. This is fair. Separated by locations but sharing same DNA results, and this is our best evidence to truth/ closest to the truth that we have. I wouldnt be surprised if I had Negrito ancestry, but understanding wouldnt put me in a position to hate on The Tagalog and Aeta people. And hate, we dont need it.
Thanks for clarifying what Bulul word is and how it is pronounced. I think every language is guilty on this topic. A times, we see words perfectly spelled but if you say it slower or faster to the other person, they can't understand it because it was spoken faster or slower.
Great explanation sir 👏. This is how we can effectively address and correct misinformation about us. Let's be humble and respectful in approaching these kind of situations. We should not resort to negativity but rather we should strive to educate and inform those who have misunderstood or spread inaccurate information about us, just like sir FDG Stages does. Let's continue to support him and share his videos, particularly those educational and informational contents.
0:16 Thats not naga in the picture, that's Mizo girl.We Mizo and Naga share the same root of ancestry and our dna is quite similar with a distance of about 0.5% based on some genetic test.
Good research topic; The Forgotten Resistanceof Igorot Struggle for Independence Against Spanish Colonial Rule, Mountains of Defiance Reassessing Igorot Relations with Spanish Colonizers, Beyond Bandits and Savages Reframing Igorot Identity in the Face of Spanish Colonialism, Cordillera's Unsung Heroes Igorot Resistance and the Fight for Autonomy in the Spanish Philippines, Hidden Histories Uncovering the Narrative of Igorot Resistance in Spanish Colonial Records.
we all came from Southern China during pre han dynasty.. mass migration of Ancient Austronesian started during Han dynasty conquest and genocide against Ancient people in Southern China. it was well known in chinese history about ancient people in Southern China as known as "Hundred Yue".
We Naga's are from China our ancestors are still there in the border and everywhere we are 16 tribes in number officially i am from Sumi tribe and our tribe is the majority among us Naga's we spread all over Nagaland and our borders like assam arunachal manipur myanmar burma our capital is kohima Dimapur is our commercial place and no original tribe or obc's of other state even our neighbour is a naga arunachal is NOT a naga or Manipur is NOT a naga our traditional attire is very different from other naga attire 's we Sumi have countless designs of mekhala which is a wraparound most of which we still did not diaplay even our shade of colours are different from other tribe's among the Naga's
Wow very interesting turns up in my page 👍 im a Ao tribe Naga! Very much related ...the only problem is We Nagas dont have written records it was said that our script was eaten by dog because of animal skin...we practice oral traditions only
