Originally, the plan to list Igorot achievers here in From the Boondocks (FtB) was to mention them one time and then move on to other topics. However, we often come across photographs of our Listers (let’s call them by this term, okay) that are just too good to pass. Look for instance at the photo of Justice Romeo Brawner. Wouldn’t you post that if you have a blog honoring Igorot achievers?
So we decided to also post interesting photographs of our Listers and, when the occasion demands, to do updates on them.
Here’s a Youtube video of the song written by Odina Batnag (music composed by legendary musician Roger Whittaker). Odina, if you recall, made it to Part 6 of the List of Igorot Achievers.
We have now reached the sixth installment of our listing of Igorot achievers. The earlier installments can be found in the following links — Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5. Then we have a clarificatory article on “The List” here.
BROTHERS ALL: From top (left to right): Bangit, Dulinayan, Lippad, Bumidang, Batan, Aleo, Ngayaan marker, and Allaga.
As promised, here’s the part of The List where we talk about soldiers, soldiers-turned-rebels, rebels, activists, activists-turned-rebels, and those who were killed because of their political beliefs a.k.a. martyrs. Our “Listers” will be listed in alphabetical order.
As we stated in The List, Foronda is an Igorot who excels in freestyle fighting. Know more about him in this video. By the way, the last third of the video is kinda “R-rated”. Fortunately, it is not visual so its okay to just cover the ears of the kids.
I don’t believe in amulets but faith is a very personal thing. If it works for Foronda , then I say good for him. Who am I to judge? After all, he is the champ and not me 🙂
