Gaddang Legacy in Bagabag, Nueva Vizcaya

Roger Whigan of San Geronimo Bagabag, Nueva Vizcaya was motivated to join the Gaddang organization because he wants to established Gaddang lineage and to be recognized not only here in Bagabag but even to the whole world. The municipal Federation of Bagabag Gaddang Indigenous People Organization was established to preserve, to promote, and enhance the Gaddang dialect.

Traditional attire for Gaddang women includes the tapis, a lengthy piece of cotton cloth around the waistline down to his knees, and a long-sleeved, round-necked collarless and waist-length blouse. The cloth used for these costumes is woven by the women themselves from 100 % cotton textiles and dyed in bright natural colors. An upper collarless, short clothing may also be worn, together with handkerchiefs. Today, most Gaddang use skirts, trousers, and dresses for everyday wear and preserve the traditional attire for ceremonies and other formal occasions.

Tattooing is common to both men and women, with designs imprinted on their arms, legs, and fingers. The men have theirs on the breast. Being tattooed assures them passage to heaven. They used a sharp knife to cut an inch above the eyebrows and continuing in a straight line back along with each temple and end above each ear.

The officers of Gaddang organization had the resolution to have a project such as to conduct vigil about the rosary, and the bible to translate into the Gaddang language. Recently filming Jesus Christ dubbing to add dialogue with Gaddang language which already started in the year 2007 and hopefully, they can preview screening the film next year.

Malabing Centro, Kasibu, Nueva Vizcaya, The above-named farms started from its grassroots humble beginnings in the year 1987 up to the present. As the said farm was established, coupled with family hard work, patience, and full trust of God's providence, and cooperative joint efforts of the family, the farms were able to overcome the challenges of farming at its very core.

Manual farming though it was tough and energy-consuming, all of the family's hard work and industriousness, the farming's capitalization was strengthened via the direct intervention and the much needed financial assistance from a member of Namujhe family working in Australia. Coupled with loans from financial banks as well as friends' help in the citrus farming in exchange for seedlings for labor, that led to the planting of a variety of Mandarin Orange, Satsuma oranges among others.

As farming and business were in good tandem, the farms were able to purchase needed a mini truck and one forward transport vehicles for said oranges.
