The Tinguian: Social, Religious, and Economic Life of a Philippine Tribe
Cole, Fay-Cooper
Tinguian (Philippine people)
[149] The name by which the Tinguian designate their own people.
[150] The spirits' name for the Tinguian.
[151] The term Alzado is applied to the wilder head-hunting groups
north and east of Abra.
[152] When the _tangpap_ is built during the _Sayang_ ceremony,
it is a little house with two raised floors. On the lower are small
pottery jars, daubed with white, and filled with _basi_ (Plate XX).
[153] The _talagan_ (see p. 308).
[154] This being lives in Binogan. His brothers are Gilen, Ilongbosan,
Idodosan, Iyangayang, and Sagolo.
[155] The site of the old village of Bukay.
[156] In addition to the writer and his wife, Lieut. and
Mrs. H.B. Rowell were initiated at this time. The Lieutenant
had long been a friend and adviser of the tribe, and was held in
great esteem by them. The writer's full name was Agonan Dumalawi,
Mrs. Cole's--Ginobáyan Gimpayan, Lieut. Rowell's--Andonan Dogyawi,
and Mrs. Rowell's--Gayankayan Gidonan.
[157] This raft is the _Taltalabong_, and is intended for the sons
and servants of Kadaklan.
[158] It is customary to place a jar of _basi_ under or near the house,
so that Kadaklan may drink, before he reaches the function. This
offering had been neglected, hence his complaint.
[159] This is the case if a person is just acquiring the right to
the ceremony. If the family is already privileged to give this rite,
it will occur in about three years, and _Sayang_ will follow some
four years later.

[161] See _ibid._, p. 24.
[162] In Patok, _diwas_ is sung as a part of _da-eng_ on the night
of _Libon_.
[163] This is the same form as the "shield," which hangs above the
newborn infant (p. 312).
[164] See Traditions of the Tinguian, this volume, No. 1, p. 177.
[165] On two occasions an old bedstead of Spanish type served instead
of the frame.
[166] See p. 315. In some towns the spirits are summoned at different
times during the ceremony, as in _Tangpap_.
