Miss my grandpa from Amganad who is a mumbaki. Am always amaze how dedicatedand honorable the mumbakis to their faith.

Salute you the knowledge and the language and practice. Yet you speak good English

Omg, your channel should really be promoted. You deserve more subscribers. I'm from Mountain Province, currently residing in Manila. I've only learned about the Mumbaki during may elementary/high school years. Now I understand what you do. Thanks for having the video in English and Ilokano. Hope to visit Ifugao again soon. I'm a new subscriber by the way. Please continue sharing your videos, they are very informative.

Keeping your old Traditions is very important for you. The Evil are all invented religions who had spread their religions with fire and Sword. Alaf Sig Runa From Germany

Proud igorot

The part which the mumbaki emphasize the true of nature of watching a TV in children's eye .. very interesting..

please keep up this kind of content

🙏 Brod For sharing your thoughts about your life being a Baki 👍👏

A very familiar and welcoming energy flows through from the sounds of your chantings ❤🤎💚 grateful for the films, clips produced!

When they are more knowledgeable in speaking the english language than most of the generation now to think that most of them only at elementary level.. so proud of being an ifugao..

Hangang hanga ako sa kanila. Agyaman ak apo nga makabuya

Im 78 subscribers of your channel

My lolo too was a "maboki" or "mumbaki". He was a well known mumbaki in their village according to my mother. He was Lolo Likyayyu. How I wish I witnessed an actual baki. This for sure is just a glimpse, this is just a tiny tiny facet of the whole thing but I'm glad I came accross this video. At least it satisfied my curiousity, I am now turning 30 and for some reason the interest in exploring our culture is growing. There are practices that are long gone now, and baki is one.

im not fluent in english but damn this guy is fuckin good in english

Thankful that the Northern part of Philippines still practice the pre colonial culture. Most preserved and isolated region. Lowlanders might Christianized but many are still practicing acient culture unconsciously if you really observed the inside core beliefs of Filipinos on their daily lives. Example for that is "tabi tabi po".

Kinakin,my mother's place..proud Ifugao here

They can speak four languages Ifugao, Ilocano, Filipino and English.

My grandfather is also a Mumbaki,all you say is true,i witnessed lots of his Baki since my childhood days.

Iyaman apo,.matago tago di icordillera,God bless

Sana po may content kayo sa Natural Rice Farming technique

I can't believe what I've learned about my long time high-school classmate!

Dang! Apo you speak good English ya wada pay accent na haha😊❤. It's a very nice content to showcase our rich culture and traditions na galing mismo sating taga Ifugao. Keep it up Apo....

Oh WOW! My mother told us that our grand father is a native priest (Mumbaki). I have little idea what it is. I grew up in Baguio city and now an IT professional in Makati. I would love to know more about my culture. Sad to think that our culture is shrinking. Anyhow, if there are videos that showcases the Ifugao culture, please comment below so that I can watch too. 😁 Hoping to learn more.

This is fantastic! I am glad to see elder babaylans here in the katagalugan! Very interested to learn your practices!

Thats my uncle i went to the Philippines and visited him i miss him since im back in the usa

Watching from gohang ifugao

Bro this lolo speak so much truth

Modern day Igorots have German, Japanese and American genes in them....explains the rich features and attitude.....😊❤ NATO, Oceania and Japan came to rescue the young of the Cordilleras and their age from corrupt Firipin....

Mayat ah. Newen con.

Nice video . What camera are you using ?

Baki is a way of life. It’s the way, we humans live for thousands of years, before , the introduction of modern hospitals by our invaders. It’s just like watching AVATAR movie. Every living things are interconnected. And we can seek healing trough connecting with other dimensions.

MAYAT YA MAPHOD CHI TAUN TUWALI.. IFUGAO.. IGOROT.

I agree. The Ifugaos know how to plant rice and how to maintain their rice terraces. I think the Ifugaos should continue with the way they have farmed for centuries instead of trying new ways of farming introduced by businesspeople. Stick to the old ways because they’ve been working for the ifugaos for centuries.

May grand father too is one of them we call him as lulung hiano,, Our last name Umhao . He is one of the great Mumbaki in Ifugao.

🙌

brother. i am also a MUMBAKI. ibuliwong tribe of ifugao ethnic group. according to our ancestors or aammod, we have no Tuwali tribe. but we has a 13 sub-tribe as ifugao tribe group. 1. ilagawi tribe of lagawe 2. ibunne tribe of burnay 3. imuntab tribe of muntabiong 4. ibuliwong tribe of boliwong 5. ihingyon tribe of hingyon 6. ihungduwan tribe of hungduan 7. ibannawol tribe of banaue 8. ikiyyangan tribe of kiangan 9. hanglullu tribe of asipulo 10. kalanguyya tribe of Tinoc 11. imayyaw tribe of mayoyao 12. ihapuwan tribe of hapao 13. iyayangan tribe (bannal). so, there's no "Tuwali tribe of "ifugao tribe group. the word Tuwali, it means "because, gamin, dahil or ngamin.

Chokma! Keep holding on to the old ways. - from a Chickasaw Native in the USA.

He can speak English well

Similarity with budhism

Maphoj waja blogger hi ibba..

Is "Angry Rice God" the name of the drink? Can I mix that in bubble tea? ٩(๑`^´๑)۶

Just know that your forebearers aren't the only ones suffering from the aftereffects of colonialism. You can share the language and culture but you can't guarantee people worldwide to part-take in the Baki, because that would get us all in a pile of arguments and division.

So sad really, our culture was destroyed cause it was the attack of religion and partly our educational system. Also man's greed to subdue the environment because of money. When will we ever learn. Long live the mumbaki . they are the real part of nature and creation.

I am an igorots but I am ashamed that I never knew that there were a lot of of rice gods

Moorey

In Ifugao it is called BAKI, IN English or christian it is called prayer, in ilocano, it is called dasal... in tagalog, it is called dalangin or manalangin...In Ifugao we have WIGAN and BUGAN in Christianity there is ADAM and EVE, In Ifugao there is MAKNONGAN/MUNTALOG, in Christianity there is GOD...what is the difference?

Ngane ngadan nan face book yu uncle

@jolly bhie butale

Lots of Filipino old tradition was lost when colonizers brainwashed us Filipinos with Christianity but we have never been better.

Nakapunta ako dyan sa Aguinaldo, Mayoyao, maganda dun ang lamig parang nasa Baguio kalang..at sa Lamot..

Mayat hinen documentarym ibba', let us promote more of our iFugao 👍

Thank you Uncle for making the video and for recognizing our mumbaki in kinakin. It's good to see all of you specially Apu Chungli.

In this Era of Climate Change (1995-2175+), new Gravitation to "One Times Two Times Three" (before 1995 it was "One Times Two") has an impending effect to planet Earth in almost everything, in technology and humanity. The mainstream of Climate Change is Agriculture, thus followed by Business sectors; however, Vocational course are recommended to augment livelihood and whatever practical needs of life. The return to Traditionalism, both in Culture and beliefs is a necessity for Survivalism, much more to the Basic necessities of life. It is necessary to strengthen the Individual, family, clan, tribe, and community in the reality and realm of Survivalism. I hasten to add that my old Patriarch used the Tobacco soaked in water in kerosene can for 1-3:days, filter it, then spray it to vegetables, corn, and plants to have a plentiful harvest in Central Mindanao when they migrated in 1937 from Luzon Island. That I share as a contribution to traditional agriculture. Pant more hard wood trees with fruits to strenthen the soils and bedrocks, bamboo for prevent erosion on riverbanks and make use of traditional means to protect the environment. I appreciate the tribal cultures in the Ifugao lands, in the Coldillera region. I am a Researcher and sharing all these for the welfare of humanity. God bless everyone.

Maganda pala sa ifugao. Sabi ng nanay ko ninuno nila ay ifugao mga lumawig clan dyan. Diko kilala mga kamag anakan nila sana makarating ako dyan

Our ancestral lands/domains comprising our forest, ricefield, river systems, atmosphere, et.. are the base of our culture and traditional institutions. In protecting, nurturing and sustaining our ancestral lands/domains, we are also protecting, nurturing and sustaining our cultures and traditional institutions like the mumbaki. Thus the need to capacitate the people and local/traditional institutions. Organizing the mumbaki is a good move, for them to support each other and to generate/build support system from other people/organizations.

ganda nang lugar jan idol keepsafe God bless

Woaaa.. Ang Ganda Ng editing mo boss. Good luck SA channel mo at samin mga igugao shout out Po next video

My lolo was a mumbaki before he gave his life to Christ. Because of him i am the first Ifugao-Korean Architect in the Philippines. Great culture, Ifugao. Tuwali.

Maphoj waja blogger hi ibba..

Good evening po! I am a 3rd year college student. I am currently working on a video project for my Indigenous Science course. I came across your video, and I believe it would be a valuable addition to my output. I would be happy to credit you in the video and acknowledge your work. I plan to pass it in our gclassroom only. This will surely help me a lot. Maraming salamat po!

Did he say "spirit of malayu"?

Manong/Uncle Lagitan, sana po mabasa nyo po ito. Hain hi Charles. Isa po akong Cebuano pero naandito ako sa Ifugao ngayon, chuway pulan mo. Isang taon na po ako naglilibot dito sa northern Luzon in hopes na makapag-immerse sa Indigenous communities. Ilang beses na po ako nagtatanong-tanong dito sa Batad tungkol sa Mumbaki kaso wala pong masyadong nakakapagbigay ng impormasyon. Matatanda na raw kasi ang mga Mumbaki rito. Gusto ko po sana matuto. Interesado po ako sa Indigenous culture and wisdom natin and how it's connected with nature. Hala-halamat!

Indeed, some new generations are no longer interested in their culture. My grandfather “Andres Duladol” from Kinakin Ifugao is a known mumbaki during his time. Sadly, he's the last mumbaki in our family.

They say that is evil because of luck of knowledge...mostly they watch through yuotube without confirming the or asking questions to our lolos and lolas...if you see toutube some RU-vidr dont know what they are talking about they connect to the movies they are watching like monsters and doing harmful rituals...ask our lolo and lolas and you will know how beautiful our rituals as cordillerians....its full of respect...we know how to count our blessings,thanks the nature for giving as food and life....nature give as life, medicine,food,shelter etc...

Baki depends on anyones perception, if its in your culture well then that is not evil because that's part of it and its a way to feel the essence of being an Ifugao. Evrytime my titos held a baki I feel like Im back to my childhood days and feel great to myself I have a tradition like this. It's also a way to preserve ifugao culture. I am half ifugao half ilokano btw.

ano po name ni sr. munbaki? i want to learn BAKI, since i am a Baglan in our tribe, bagbag-o in ilocos sur. is there any ways on how to contact this munbaki? thanks

It is very similar to our Naga Culture state of Nagaland Northeast India ,the food and traditional practices ,the way of farming.

many student from ifugao studying here in benguet says that they are not belong to igorot people...

We should keep such culture that nurture mother Nature. May your children lern more about these.

very nice content. salute

Keep up our native Culture and Traditions. Hagiyo Ipugaw!

My grandfather is mumbaki from batad ifugao

mayat, mayat, tan mayat

daan ayu aamod ta adalo an mun baki ten taya an pinhod un ituluy an mun baki ten nanipud din kaunga ya miid ha naminhod an mangi tudu😃

My parents and grandparents where migrated in Nueva Vizcaya but they came from Ifugao particular in Umalbong and Humalophop. My grandfather was a Bumbaki and I witnessed it in my younger year.I'm just amazed how he memorize the different Baki where in fact he don't even go to school.

Thank you for this video. This is very helpful for I am teaching Hudhud ni Aliguyon for my 21st Century Phil Lit class

such a beautiful worldview. I wish to learn and become a Baki. Thank you Tita Jo Kapuno for introducing me to your film.

Beautiful short documentary that offers a glimpse into a beautiful way of life that should continue.
