Yung different Cordillera forums nga maraming debate about it. I think all sides of the debate have valid points so I'm sure its going to be an endless debate. Pero sa tingin ko naman ay pag may inapi sa atin ay nagkakaisa tayo, like what happened to Marky last year.<br /><br />Liezel,<br />I wish he reads this blog, just so he gets to know his cultural roots better. Aba marami yata siyang matututunan dito. Meron folktales, merong funstuff, merong serious stuff, (hehe biglang nagpromote ng blog) and most importantly merong nuggets of wisdom coming from the comments section :-) Betelnut,

Hehe. Laging may controversy kahit saan ka lumingon.<br /><br />Maybe when it comes to things like this(national scale), we should replace Igorot with Cordilleran... to emphasize that we come from the region...just as much as those from Davao, CdO, etc... call themselves "Mindanaoan", not "Bisaya".<br /><br />At least, like the term Mindanaoan, it's very broad and not marginalizing. Cordilleran is quite broad too. It would now incorporate the non-Igorots who have long settled in the region. Seems that the term “Igorot” has always been controversial. Hehe.

I also had reservations for the kid but after adding and subtracting and dividing he he, i ended up expressing my support. He's just 17 (?) after all and has a long way to go in learning about and appreciating his roots. Thanks!<br /><br />Sandati, <br />I agree with the things you raised in your post :-) I added a link to it in an update on this post. Thanks. Liezel,
