As such rituals become less frequent in modern times, this film seeks to preserve the essence of a cultural heritage on the brink of extinction, spotlighting the significance of indigenous practices in nurturing identity and unity among the Kankanaey tribe.
This footage was captured as part of a research project by Team 7 from DMMMSU Open University System (OUS), led by Project Leader Prof. Farland Valera. The project, titled "The Tri-boundary of Ilocos Sur, La Union, and Benguet," explores the cultural and geographical connections within these regions.
