How should our talent scout predecessors with crude weapons guard Igorotland notwithstanding being dwarfed and are living in a landlocked region? Spain was a superpower when Magellan arrived in Mactan. USA wasn't so much as a nation yet.

Our precursors didn't have to complete doctoral certificates like Jose Rizal to retaliate usurpers and colonizers. Intrinsically they are supplied with insight to battle for common decency.

Regardless of being marked as savages, fiendishness and executioners, they contended energetically to safeguard their relatives from becoming slaves.

It was they who showed us the worth of opportunity, of making the right decision for the whole local area, of being benevolent in shielding our kin and opportunity.

A quality most Igorot heroes of this age conveys with them, a longing to accomplish something beneficial and serve the benefit of everyone as opposed to be gulped by the bad practices in the fields that were acquired from the colonizers.

General Bantag is a demonstration of this characteristic. Regardless of whether he remains solitary in opposing the medication rulers and crooks, yet it's the main right thing to do. He won't have the option to take care of his business once he allows the lawbreakers to pay him. In the event that you use them, he said, carrying it to the still, small voice of an Igorot warrior is troublesome.

It takes a ton of evilness to partake in that round of purpose, pay, obliterate. Not our Igorot champions.
