We came from different Tribes Children of the great Kabuniyan We came into being Children of the Bamboo Forest We hunt, we gather and fish Living from Our Mother's gifts The forest and the mountains The Cordillera we praise We chant and sing The Voices of the Gods Blessings we bring and Revelations of Warning The rituals and offerings Dances of mystical powers The humble Rice and the Great forests From Apo ni Tulao To the humble Alan Unto the God Ini-init and Apo ni Gwani We came into being We children of the forest Children of the rivers Children of the ever strong Mountain

Tinguian [Teeng-yan]
We came from different Tribes Children of the great Kabuniyan We came into being Children of the Bamboo Forest We hunt, we gather and fish Living from Our Mother's gifts The forest and the mountains The Cordillera we praise We chant and sing The Voices of the Gods Blessings we bring and Revelations of Warning The rituals and offerings Dances of mystical powers The humble Rice and the Great forests From Apo ni Tulao To the humble Alan Unto the God Ini-init and Apo ni Gwani We came into being We children of the forest Children of the rivers Children of the ever strong Mountain
I am half Tinguian, a native of the Philippine Islands. I am proud to have such ancient blood in my veins. Currently, I am learning the Ways of the Tribe.
