When the Sun arrived, he asked, "Did men come at noon?" "Yes, they are waiting under the house. They came to have the divination ceremony held, because their wives do not have children and they get sick when they have their menses." Then the Sun asked Apinan and Bintauan, "Why did you come?" "We came to have the divination ceremony celebrated." Then the Sun said, "Go home and celebrate the pasang, and you will have children." They went home and did so and had children, and their wives were not sick when they had their menses. There is no dancing in connection with this ceremony in the western Benguet Kankanay towns, but in Buguias the wife and husband dance. The wife carries her camote basket filled with blankets, breech-clouts, and cloth, which are offered to the pasang. The pasang is celebrated for the same purpose by the Nabaloi, the Lepanto Kankanay, and probably other Igorot tribes. I have been told that a corresponding ceremony is celebrated as far north as Kalinga. ABASANG The abasang is celebrated in all Benguet Kankanay towns when children are born. A chicken and a jar of tapuy are used for sacrifice. The mambunong holds the chicken in one hand, and prays to the laglagawin or guardian spirit of the child, asking that it may live long and be lucky. A magical story, which I was unable to secure, is also related. This ceremony is celebrated by the Nabaloi, but I do not know whether or not it is held in any Kankanay towns outside of Benguet. SIBISIB The Kankanay as well as the Nabaloi celebrate sibisib to cure wounds. The mambunong holds against the wound the instrument with which it was inflicted, while relating the following: Si Boliwan waday dua anakna--da Lumawig un Kabigat. Sin agou inmeda manganop, ut inaday isa makawas. Sumaada pay nabayda ut nanibayda sin ilungan. Ginudgudda din patang ut inbilagda. Sin tinmotokdowanda din asoda inapayoda di oduum ay makawas. Din dua sin agi inonodda di asoda. Inyudda un amada un bantayana din patang. Din isa sinsin agi niangna din makawas, yan adida ut maykapsu. Din makawas linmayau ay waday gayang sin angina. Nantaolida sin nanayanda un amada. Inilada ay yuwud patang. Inyatna un amada, "Insedan mut patang." Inyat amada, "Adak insida, nayiwud sin manaukak." Inyat anakna, un "Adika ibagay maptung; insedan mut." Bintyakanut, Boliwan, agusna sin bangina ut mati. Ut inila din san agi ay iwud din patang sin agusna. Ut yatda un, "Angan yatmi insidam, adan binutyakan akusmo ta adika natay."
