The Ibaloi Culture
The Ibaloi Culture
The
Ibaloi are a mostly agricultural people cultivating rice in terraced
fields. Many contemporary Ibaloi have integrated into the mainstream Filipino
culture and some are employed as miners in the gold and silver mines
of Benguet.
The Ibaloi language belongs to
the Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian
languages family. It is closely related to the Pangasinan language.
The
Ibaloi inhabit southeastern Benguet in the Cordillera Administrative Region;
they are concentrated in Kabayan, Bukod, Tuba, Itogon, Tublay, La Trinidad,
Sablan, and Atok. Like the Southern Kankanaey, they are also called Benguet.
The Ibaloi language has a linguistic sound that is close to Pangasinense, the
language of Pangasinan Province, possibly due to the free movement of the
natives of Pangasinan in the pre-Spanish era.
Ibalois
are friendly and hardworking people. They have a fair complexion and are
usually four to five feet tall. Farming is their chief occupation and rice,
their staple. For meat, they raise cows, pigs, and chickens. The Ibaloi
customs, traditions, and beliefs are very similar to those of the Kankanaeys,
but their languages are not.
Ibaloi
people are one of the many ethno-linguistic indigenous tribes that inhabit Benguet
Province in the southern most part of the Cordillera Mountain Range in Northern
Luzon. Collectively know as Igorot, with the other tribes in the region, Ibaloi
people continue to fight to preserve their culture and language. Ibaloi people
experienced many years of colonization by the Spanish, Japanese, and by the
Americans, resulting in the destruction of their ancestral farmlands by
extractive economies such as mining and logging. The Cosalan Family
actively works to preserve their indigenous Ibaloi culture by teaching the next
generation about their history, wisdom, and sustainable agriculture practices.
The
Ibaloy (Ibaloi, Ibadoy, Igodor, Benguet Igorot, Nabaloi, Benguet, Iniballuy)
constitute a large ethnic group that number approximately 112,447 (NSO 1990)
and are found in Benguet province, principally in the municipalities of Itogon
(12,353), Tuba (11,063), La Trinidad (12,136), Bokod (8,911), Baguio (68,550),
and Atok (9,063) (NSO 1980, 1990). The population has spread to the neighboring
provinces of Pangasinan, La Union, Nueva Vizcaya, and Nueva Ecija. Kabayan is
recognized as the center of Ibaloy culture. The settlements are scattered in
the municipalities of Bokod, Atok, Tublay, Sablan, and Kabayan. A wide range of
dialectical differences are known but not clearly studied. Thus far, (1) Ibaloy
Proper and (2) Karao are the subgroups cited.
To some extent, rice terracing is practiced in the lower reaches of the
drainange systems. Sweet potato and taro are planted dry in areas that cannot
be irrigated. The terracing technology is at present applied to middle latitude
vegetable growing. Rice is the principal and ritual food. Animal husbandry is
practiced, although meat is traditionally limited to ritual consumption. The
group has a long history of gold and copper mining.
The Ibaloy lack the ward system of the Bontoc although in the past there were
communal dormitories. A traditional community would have a council of
elders (tongtong) whose
opinions hold sway over a two-tiered social system: the rich (baknang) and the poor (abitug). Deities collectively called
"Kabunian" include the major entity, "Kabigat." Souls of
departed relatives (kaamaran) are
revered. Ritual celebrations, reportedly numbering more than 40 classes are
conducted by mambunung.
These include the prestige feast pashit and
curing seances that feature animal sacrifice, feasting, and use of fermented
rice beer. The rich in Kabayan used to be interred in coffins after
mummification in artificially made caves.

The Ibaloi (Bengetano, Benguet Igorot, Ibaloy, Igodor, Inibaloi, Inibaloy, Inibiloi, N abaloi) inhabit central and southern Benguet province and western Nueva Vizcaya Province, Luzon, the Philippines. In 1975 they numbered nearly 89,000. Ibaloi is classified in the Hesperonesian Group of the Austronesian Language Family. Contact with neighboring groups and Christian missionaries and involvement in the national economy have produced considerable local variation in Ibaloi culture.
Houses, generally scattered in fields or on hillsides, are raised about two meters on posts and covered with a pyramidal thatched roof. Subsistence is based on wet rice, tubers, beans, and maize, supplemented occasionally with the meat of pigs, dogs, chickens, water buffalo, horses, and cattle. Descent is bilateral. There is marked differentiation between the rich and the poor, with a considerable concentration of power and influence in the hands of the former. The traditional Ibaloi religion centered on ancestor worship.
