Deep in the rolling mountains of Northern Luzon, far from the hustle and bustle of Metro Manila exists the beautiful landscapes of the Cagayan Valley. The Valley – mostly consisting of the region between the Cordilleras and the Sierra Madre mountain ranges – is home to some of The Philippines most iconic landmarks.
Apart from its beautiful scenic views, the Cagayan Valley is also known to house a peculiar tribe of people whose cultural practices have drawn the attention of anthropologists from around the world.
To address the culturally unique elements of this tribe I will first take you through the mythology subscribed to by these people – the Bugkalut or the more common expression used by tribal outsiders, the Ilongot people.
Creation mythology of the Ilongot people
Those familiar with the Abrahamic religions will know the story of Cain and Abel; found in the Bible book of Genesis. Well, the Ilongot people follow a creation myth very similar to the story of Cain and Abel.
According to the Ilongot people, the creators of the universe are two quarrelling brothers who go by the name Cain and Abel. Abel was a shepherd who is known to have been looked upon favourably due to his propensity to self-sacrifice. While Cain who worked in agriculture was known for his inclination towards chaos.The Ilongot people identify those who live down in the lowlands as following the spirit of Abel.
The Ilongot people identify those who live down in the lowlands as following the spirit of Abel. They view them as superior as well as having had learned to work with the domesticated animals such as Carabao. Interestingly, the Ilongot see themselves as following in the footsteps of Cain and his spirit of chaos.
This is because the Ilongot have long been known as a tribe of headhunters. Like Cain, in moments of grief or intense emotion, the Ilongot have an inclination towards murder.
Manifestation of liget in the Ilongot tribe
After the loss of a loved one, a rage of bereavement arises in the men of the Ilongot. While under this condition – identified by the tribe as liget – the men of the Ilongot would hunt and kill other men.
This intense emotional state labelled as "liget" became the motivation for many cultural practices and “rites of passage” for the tribe. The spirit of liget has been described as a sense of anger, heat, energy and envy.
This emotional state which often leads to headhunting manifests itself in many situations. It is used in times of warfare, elders harness the power of the emotional state in such situations. An unsettled feud or the death of a loved one may also lead to headhunting.
It is also a requirement that a young man must kill before he can marry. Once the headhunters return a pig is sacrificed as well as there often is a celebration amongst the whole tribe.
In modern times there has been a crackdown on the headhunting carried out by the tribe. Protestant missionaries then began to make contact with the tribe; before that time the Ilongot people had no contact with the major world religions.
Many members of the tribe began to practice Christianity, the intense emotional states of the tribal members began to subside. The members were no longer reaching those previously intense emotional states of linget. This meant the tribespeople no longer resort to murder and headhunting as an expression of this emotional state.

Hua Guofeng authorised tourist visas…
I got quite quickly a visa from the China Travel Agency in Hong Kong in the early 1978…
"On 6 October 1976, shortly after the death of Mao, Hua removed the Gang of Four from political power by arranging for their arrests in Beijing. Afterwards he took on the titles of party chairman and Chairman of the Central Military Commission. Hua is thus far the only leader to have simultaneously held the offices of party leader, premier and CMC chairman.
Hua attempted moderate reforms and reversing some of the excesses of Cultural Revolution-era policies. However, because of his insistence on continuing the Maoist line, he faced resistance in the upper echelons of the party. In December 1978, a group of party veterans led by Deng Xiaoping, a pragmatic reformer, forced Hua from power but allowed him to retain some titles. Hua gradually faded into political obscurity, but continued to insist on the correctness of Maoist principles." Wikipedia

In the summer of 1978, I was 12 years old and the movie Grease was released. There was a little walk in theater in Anaheim at Ball and Brookhurst, I can't remember the name of it anymore. Me and a bunch of friends decided to check it out and fell in love with it. We must have gone every other day to go see it.
After it had a played about a month, and around our 15th time seeing it, most of the audience started singing along with the songs, horribly I might add. They totally ignored our boo's and hisses.
One day, after paying for my twentieth something ticket to see Grease, I moseyed on over to the concession stand and purchased some Dots candy. My friend looked at me and said, I thought you hated those things. I do, I replied. They're not to eat.
He soon found out what they were for. When some of the audience began to sing and totally ignore our boo's and hisses, I chucked Dots at them. My friends laughing, all put out there hands for some ammo. We were soon tossed out.
A couple of days later, we went again. We all purchased our tickets for the thirtieth time to see Grease, then went straight to the Candy Bar where we all purchased Dots. Again, tossed out.
As we were purchasing our tickets to see Grease for the fourtieth time that summer. The ticket lady looked at me and said, Son, aren't you tired of wasting your money knowing you wont make it through the movie? Nope, I replied, get better singers to watch it with me and I wont get thrown out. I made it to the song Greased Lightning.
The following summer a new movie came out. Alien. All excited about see this, my friends and I ran down to the local theater. As we approached the ticket booth, the manager came over to us. Kids, he said, I will let you purchase tickets and come in if you don't throw Dots at the other movie watchers. We were kind of surprised he remembered us but we all agreed. I went to the Snack Stand and purchased some Bon-Bons. We found some seats and the lights went down. Ohh, this is gonna be scary came a voice from in front of me. Didn't even make it through the title.
View on black, I have Dots.

Ex-LNER Greseley V2 2-6-0 4771 ''Green Arrow'' near Dent, on the Settle and Carlisle line, on a very cold day in March 1978, with the Steam Locomotive Operators Association 'The Norfolkman' railtour.
The special was named in honour of the Norwich shed master - Bill Harvey - who had done so much over the years to promote and encourage steam preservation, and was also to celebrate the return of steam to the S & C.
The loco has been a static exhibit since 2008, but there are now tentative plans to restore it to operating condition within the next few years. It is currently (2020) on display at the National Railway Museum annex at Shildon.
