IBEGAW MO KAIGOROT MO

Wada di taga Manila

ibida bida nay istorya na

din igorot kanu kanana

nangingisit da ya natataba

..

Katakdeg si maestro kanana ay mangwani

Igorot et nataraki uray nu kaman nina kami

et doy ay nasdaaw da,sin Igorot sin ay sango da

Mala adonis et kayman,kaman baw eman artista.

..

San met ay gayem ko namentakeng ay Iloco

nadismaya esnan botoy ko

dake dake ay kanana ngem siya met sa ay tawid ko.

ngem uray nu kaman nissa

man iyamanak en Dios Ama

tan kanana sin ay kali na

Fearfully & wondrfuly ay inamag ko sik-a

..

Wada met din Ibisaya

sinay abe di storya na

enmeyak ed kad-an u permi ay ragsak ko

Dakayo ay IGorot mababait masisipag

mapagbigay po kau.

..

Wada abe san Igorot ay guitarista

permi kayman binangon na din rikna

Layad kanu sin ay nagapuan

adi tako et eman linglingan

entako et tan awanmulien di napuan

..

Lugar di kaigorotan,kapintasan si pantean

adik isukat sik-a sin ay America ay kanan da

Layad ko et tet-ewa,Kaigorotan,idayadayaw ko sik-a

umali to metlang  di tiempo 

mantauli ak esnan ay sibay mo.

..

ebegaw mo ebegaw ko,kinaigorot tako

Ipailam ay bessat din kinaigorot mo

babaen sin amag ay mayat

pangrespetar tako ya panag ayat

Dios eyak padayawan tan sak-en igorot ak.

Ako'y pinalaki na ilocano ang salita,
nagpunta sa malayo,tagalog naman ang wika
ngunit isang araw ako'y umuwi ng probinsiya
nagdudumilat ang katotohanan ako pala'y isang Igorota.
..
Elak pay abe si ina kayumanggi baw eman din kulay na,
et elak abe si tatang ko,taraki baw ay am-ama.
Kanak abe sin ay nemnem ko
Igorot baw di parents ko
naanos da ya nagaget,uray nu kudo kudo.
..
Et wada di esa ay agew
enyey dak en amak ed payew
kanak nu nuwang di man araro
kambaw din sikik kanu di idakdak ko.
Man aga ak kuma ngem baka madismaya si Ama
isunga inan anusak ay inamag din ay paob obla na.
..
Mantokdo kami pay ay sin ama
et dey nan baon me et ebela na
permi din ay kigtot ko
tan labayak kanu si kape din ay inuto.
..
Sumaa kami pay dooy eman si ina
permi ay nagaget este-esten na si ama.
Et  umila pay abe,sinay di kanana
"kanak gamin anak  enka ituloy man eskwela.
..
Kagtona gayam biag di Igorot
adi ibain proud ak ay Iyanganot
Gapo sin ay nailak ay ugalin da amak en inak
laydek ay ibogaw puro ay Igorotak.

MY home town BAUKO

Bauko is a 4th class municipality in the province of Mountain Province, Philippines. It is the province's most populous town. According to the latest census, it has a population of 30,149 people in 5,332 households.


i am from poblacion bauko mountain province

 The Legend of its Name

 Stories which were told from generations reveal that the people who first settled in the present day municipality of Bauko are the couple named Padoka and Adian. They lived through planting root crops, domesticating and hunting wild animals in the woods. 


One day, their pregnant sow got out of its pen and never came back. The couple searched the immediate vicinity but the pig is nowhere to be found. Adian searched farther where she discovered the sow’s footprints headed eastward going down the lower dike-like mountain called Kamanbaneng. They followed the footprints until they reached a cave-in near a spring in Mt. Kipay-an where they finally saw the pig. The area is packed with trees called “Baukok.” Padoka surveyed the land and found out that it has a good and friendly terrain which made him decide to transfer his whole family there.

As the number of people who live in this place expanded as a result of migration and intermarriage between the children of Padoka and Adian and nearby communities, there began rampant cutting down of trees which they used to build houses. As the number of trees dwindled, the descendants of Opeg, son of Padoka and Adian started calling the place “Baukok” which served as memory of the trees that once abounded in the place. This later on evolved to Bauko which is how this municipality is now known.
