KALINGA: Sa Ragasa Ng Pakikibaka Nestled in the Cordillera Mountain Range, the Kalinga are among the many communities that have sought community in these lush mountains up in the Northern half of the Island of Luzon. Having been able to propagate and sustain themselves in such conditions, in spite of political, and economic issues going on around them throughout history, the Kalinga have managed to preserve their culture and traditions alive through their material arts, cultural practices, and even presence in mainstream media or even politics.

The Kalinga however, similar to every community, is faced with multiple, social, economic, and political factors that can change the way they need to function as a community, and as a result of this, are a dynamic group that has been able to evolve with the country, and change in response to various social factors that are presented to them.

Throughout history however, the essence of the Kalinga has not been lost, rather, it has changed with the times.
