Butbut Kalinga NT | Kalinga, Butbut
The Butbut Kalinga people live in traditional scattered settlements, clustering their homes on mountain ridges, on plateaus and along one of the major rivers in the area. They value their language and continue to resist social pressure to speak Ilocano, the regional language of wider communication. The Butbut are a fierce warring tribe. Even today, an ongoing tribal war with a neighboring group has seriously affected their subsistence economy. Traditional animism is still practiced widely, and the percentage of Christians remains low. Christians are looked down upon in Butbut society, and believers often mix together the religious practices of Christianity and animism.
